1 day tour "Taste of Moscow" is a private tour
exclusively designed for cruise passengers arriving to St.Petersburg for 3
days onboard the cruise ships Regatta, Azamara Journey or
Seven Seas Voyager. No picture of Russia can be complete without seeing Moscow.
You can have a unique opportunity to contrast and compare both capitals.
On this tour you see "genuine Moscow" with its
historic Kremlin, Armory treasures, Red Square, Lenin's Tomb,
Arbat street, Sparrow Hills and "new Moscow" with its vibrant
city life, modern architecture and economic growth.
