Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2 hours
* The walk will take you through the most untrodden places of one of the oldest districts of the capital, Kitay-gorod. We will see authentic and "fake" sections of the Kitaygorodsky wall, miraculously preserved ancient temples, as well as bell towers built into apartment buildings at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries. We will find out where Ivan Fedorov printed the first book and what his seal looked like, and where Russian higher education was born. Why did they put up a monument to two Greeks in the center of Moscow and what Patriarch Nikon forbade to build? We will see one of the rare examples of a noble manor preserved in Kitay-Gorod. And finally, let's find out where the "old gentlemen" are hiding? We will pay special attention to historical and architectural losses: fortress towers, monastery and parish churches and chapels.

Собираетесь в Москву, но не любите банальные групповые туры? Или вы местный житель, и к вам приехали друзья или деловые партнеры? А может, вам самим хотелось бы отправиться на экскурсию по городу и увидеть его с непарадной стороны — таким, каким его знают и любят москвичи? Готова вам помочь. Я аккредитованный экскурсовод (русский язык) и гид-переводчик (английский язык), провела более 1500 пешеходных, автобусных и теплоходных экскурсий по столице — для тех, кому небезразлична Москва. Среди моих клиентов — офисные работники, родители с детьми, компании друзей и, конечно русские и иностранные гости нашего города. По первому образованию я музыкант, и у меня, в числе прочих, есть экскурсии на тему искусства и музыки.
