BliniReizen

Blini Reizen is a Dutch touroperator who offers trips to the former Soviet-Union. We always advise our clients to book excursions with a local guide: to view the country and it's people with different eyes and to get information they otherwise wouldn't get to know (easy). Two of our travellers (2 sisters, who had a special reason to visit Moscow), found Olga’s tours at this website and decided to book 4 of them through our agency. They were happy with both the tours and the guide, I quote: "the first two days we had Olga as a guide. Punctually she picked us up at our hotel. A funny, friendly and flexible girl with humor, who speaks English very well and knows a lot to tell about history, art and tourist locations. She also told us a number of anecdotes. She showed us very nice places and restaurants that we would never have found without her ". Af for Blini Reizen: we found Olga very pleasant to work with: she is accurate, flexible, cooperative, interested and always tried to find the best solutions for the clients. We would surely recommend this tour! See also the review left by the 2 sisters (PV).

My sister and me visited Moscow for a few days and decided to book this tour with Sputnik. We were not really sure what to expect, but it turned out to be fantastic! Olga is a very good, dedicated and enthusiastic guide with a lot of knowledge of Moscow. Olga tells much more than just the regular stories. Also her english is excellent! Besides this tour, we also booked the "modern art" - and Kremlin tour. Again, guided by Olga! We had a great time!

I don't know where to start ... We met on a stormy winter day charming girl dressed a pink coat. She took us on a fascinating tour of galleries and walls of graffiti,designers studio's and introduced us art scene of this amazing city.The area was once a wine factory and have a lot of fascinating spots and cozy restaurants.The guide was very professional and smart. We had a good time walking the streets of Moscow and revealing secret spots that you'll never get there alone. After all she left us a lot of recommendation for our next days, including the most trandy restaurants and interesting places to visit.

Moscow Modern & Bohemian Shopping & Arts Tour

I recently did this tour with Olga and it was fantastic. She showed me around Winezavod and Artplay, two creative places I otherwise wouldn't have found, giving me great background on how they had developed. We had a small creative activity at the end of the tour that was a fun way to finish. I enjoyed seeing these off the beaten track sites of Moscow and getting a locals perspective on life in Moscow. Highly recommend.
