Customer Reviews about Moscow River Boat Tour with a Private Guide
The boat tour is a relaxing and easy way to see the main Moscow sights. A pleasant tour made all the better by our incredible guide Ekaterina who went above and beyond to make our experience in Moscow so much more memorable. And yes, the view from the Moskva river of the Christ the Saviour Cathedral is truly unforgettable.
We really wanted to experience Moscow from the river especially during the winter time. The boat cruise allowed us to see St.Basil Cathedral, Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and Moscow Kremlin completely unobstructed and without huge tourist crowds in front of us. I should also mention that having a private tour guide is very convenient as you have live commentary (if needed😊) during the duration of the river cruise. As we cruised along the river we passed by several bridges, the infamous Peter the Great statue, Luzhniki Stadium, where the World Cup finals were in 2018 and the Gorky Park. Overall an experience that I would highly recommend to anyone at anytime of the year.
Very pleasant boat tour. I believe it is a bit underrated as Moskva is not very well known for its river, but you get yourself a bout cruise and you can get a completely different feel for the city.
