Frequently Asked Questions

Q: what is the best time to book a moscow hop-on hop-off tour.

March to May is the best time to plan a visit to Moscow. The days are long with significant sunshine which makes this time ideal for exploring the city. January is the coldest month so make sure to avoid it if you have a low tolerance for chilly weather. However, you will be able to score some good deals on airfare and accommodation during this time.

Q: How does it work?

Moscow bus tour offers you the convenience and flexibility to get off at the nearest designated stop. No tour guide, you set your own itinerary. You’ll find all the stops are located strategically at all the major attractions, making your touring as hassle-free as possible. And then, when you’re ready to continue, return to a designated bus stop, show your pass, and hop back on the bus and onwards towards your next attraction. So, go ahead and make a whole loop of the route once you have your tour ticket, get familiar with the city and pick out your favorite places to visit and then return to them during your stay.

Q: How many days are enough to explore Moscow?

We recommend at least two to three days to explore Moscow at a relaxed pace and cover most of its prominent attractions while enjoying shopping and local cuisine.

Q: What is the validity of the ticket?

There are several ticket options available to you, depending on your length of stay. Each bus tour will have validity from 24, 36, 48 to 72 hours. And the great thing is you can plan ahead as the vouchers are valid anywhere between 6 months to 1 year and can be used at any point during that period. Check the product page or bus tour operator for complete details.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .

Everything about public transport in Moscow

Working hours are from 5:30 AM to 1:00 AM. The bus-stop is a plate with A sign, trolleybus-stop with a T and tram-stops are marked with Tp . Marshrutkas use all those stops too.

Yandex has public transport app ( iOS , Android ) that shows live location of buses, trolleybuses and trams and predict in what time the transport arrives at the stop.

1. Types of transport in Moscow

Bus is the most popular and most commonly used type of transport after the underground. First buses appeared in the city before the Revolution of 1917; nowadays 18 bus fleets operate over a thousand various routes. Buses can carry you within the city and to the Moscow suburbs.

Trolleybuses

Moscow has the largest trolleybus network in the world. A trolleybus is an quiet and environmentally friendly type of transport. However, it’s less reliable than a bus due to high risk of temporary stops because of illegally parked cars and car crashes.

Only few tramway routes remained until now in the center of Moscow. It is nice to make a weekend sightseeing trip through the old city in the tram No. 39 or in the famous «Annushka», from Bulgakov’s «The Master and Margarita». Tram routes are being renovated now. New high-speed trains appear on the streets, replacing old yellow ones.

Marshrutkas (minibuses)

Marshrutka is a small bus that serves the same routes as public transport but much faster. The foreigners should know that only  blue with pattern on top  minibuses are preferable. They are officially admitted, accept public transport ticket there and you can take this minibus only at a bus stop. You can get to other marshrutkas not only at bus or trolleybus stops, but wave down your hand (like calling a taxi) whenever you see it. Coming across your destination point, you are just to ask a driver to stop (in a loud voice and better say it in Russian – «Ostanovite pozhaluista» – as most of the drivers do not understand foreign languages). The cost of a single ride is about 50 rubles (€0.50) and you should pay directly to a driver when entering the minibus.

Moscow Bus Network

Moscow's crazy traffic and its excellent metro network mean that the city's buses and trolleybuses aren't the number one option for tourists .

Moscow has hundreds of bus and trolleybus routes , many of which connect the city centre with its otherwise-isolated suburban neighbourhoods. Regular traffic jams mean that the bus network has not always been the most recommendable option , especially as the metro is so efficient. 

Having said that, new bus lanes have opened up recently making it a comfortable alternative for certain routes. The bus can be a good, economical option at night , when 13 routes replace the metro after it shuts down (all starting from Kitay-Gorod metro and taking the main roads out to the edge off the city).

More modern buses have screens indicating the stops along the route, but in older ones you may well struggle knowing where to get off if relying on the Russian-language loudspeaker announcements .

If you do decide to catch the bus, tickets can be purchased from kiosks and metro stops, and the majority of lines operate between 6 am and 1 am.

11 injured in charter bus accident on I-10 in Hancock County

Officials are responded to an accident on I-10 westbound near Exit 13 in Hancock County.

According to Mississippi Highway Patrol Trooper Cal Robertson, a charter bus carrying 56 University of South Carolina students traveling to New Orleans was involved in a single vehicle accident at approximately 3 p.m.

A total of 11 injuries, with nine students being transported by ambulance to local hospitals. The bus driver and another student were flown to out of state hospitals after they were ejected from the vehicle.

The 2007 MCI Motor Coach Bus owned by Dixon Motor Express LLC of Chester, South Carolina, collided with a center concrete barrier.

The bus driver, 55-year-old, Tina Wilson,  prevented the bus from flipping over while it was out of control. When the bus returned up-right, the windshield blew out and the bus driver was ejected.

One of the students ran to the steering wheel and grabbed ahold of it and brought the bus under control.

The bus was out of control for over half a mile.

School buses transported the other students to Bay St. Louis Municipal Court to wait on a new bus.

MHP, the Commercial Transportation Enforcement Division, Bay St. Louis Fire, Bay St. Louis Police, and Hancock County Sheriff’s Office all responded to the scene.

The incident is still under investigation.

News 25 will have more information as it becomes available.

Taunton non-profit takes over 40 students on city's first HBCU tour

by TEMI-TOPE ADELEYE, NBC 10 NEWS

The Taunton Diversity Network formed a Historically Black Colleges and Universities tour for more than 40 local high school students. (WJAR)

TAUNTON, Mass. (WJAR) — Some Taunton High School students are going on a tour that could change the course of their lives.

The Taunton Diversity Network formed a Historically Black Colleges and Universities tour for more than 40 local high school students.

The trip is believed to be the first of its kind in the Southeast Massachusetts region.

Gordon School in East Providence has a similar "Civil Rights Trip" for eighth-graders that started 22 years ago.

Their trip will take place next Monday.

Taunton Diversity Network is a BIPOC-centered, non-profit that educates, advocates and hosts events regarding social justice, diversity and inclusion, among other topics.

President and CEO April Funches said they hope the students learn a lot from the tour, including the struggles that African Americans dealt with in the U.S.

"I'm also hoping that they experience the Black College experience. I'm hoping they get to see a little bit of the Greek life happening on the campuses," said Funches. "I'm really hoping that maybe they'll find a college home and if they don't that's okay, at least they can say they explored this option."

Taunton High School sophomore Olive Nyomo said the trip comprises Taunton High School and Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School students.

Nyomo said she is excited to be a "guinea pig" in this introductory tour.

"Most of my life I've been in Taunton," said Nyomo. "So, this is really like my first time going out there and exploring the world."

Students of all backgrounds checked in before their loved ones escorted them to the bus.

"We're going to Jackson State, Tuskegee, FAMU [Florida A&M University], Spelman, Morehouse, Johnson C. Smith, Howard, and Hampton," said Funches. "So it's going to be quite the journey but we're looking forward to it."

Taunton High School sophomore Nathan Pascal said he is going into the tour with an open mind.

"[I hope to take away] just more knowledge about how everything really works out there, and just realizing what they offer me. and how I can apply it to my own life in the future," said Pascal.

Funches said their organization began planning the nine-day tour last October, raising funds, and partnering with several groups to bring this mission to life.

The city of Taunton paid for half of the $130,000 trip.

Mayor Shaunna O'Connell said they did not give it a second thought.

"It's just so important to give opportunity to these kids that they really never would have had, to explore colleges and really figure out their path in life," said O'Connell.

Family, friends and faculty prayed before sending off their students.

Organizers said they hope to bring the tour back in two years for a new group of students.

NEADS service animals, ambassadors take ride on bus to celebrate partnership

NEADS World Class Service Dogs celebrated Boston Duck Tours’ philanthropic initiative, ‘Quack-Quack, Give Back!” on Sunday with ambassadors and partners taking a private tour ride through the city.

The two organizations celebrated their 12-year partnership a week after Duck Tours’ 2024 season kicked off with the tour ride for service dogs and their handlers. For pooches too young for the tour, there was and a training course that included basic obedience, good manners and socialization, NEADS officials said.

Cathy Zemaitis, Chief Development and Programs Officer at NEADS lauded Boston Duck Tours for allocating proceeds made throughout the year to support NEADS. Zemaitis said a service dog in training was named Kilroy, in honor of the very first Duck Boat.

Harbor Sweets, based out of Salem, MA, also provided paw-shaped chocolates for those joining the tour, with a portion of proceeds from chocolates sold being donated to NEADS.

“Hosting NEADS Puppy Raisers and the Service Dogs in Training on our Duck Boats is one of our favorite events, and we are thrilled that they will join us for this fun, yet educational trip,” Boston Duck Tours CEO Cindy Brown said in a statement.
