I was with a group guided by you on July the 4th. I would like to use this opportunity and thank you once more for your guiding. It was really nice to take a city tour with you. If there is someone I know on the his/her to Moscow I will definitely suggest that (s)he will contact you in case some tour guide is needed.

I enjoyed every single moment with your company starting from the excursion with the other colleagues and subsequently after we met in the Red Square then to the Church, Art Gallery, then to Arbat street. I will never forget the quality time we spent in the wonderful city though I am sure we needed more time to explore more and more.

For a business trip I went to Moscow to visit a few companies. For this trip I’ve worked 5 days together with Tat’yana Garbar. I write this letter of reference because she did a very good job for our company. She helped me before the trip with preparation. Tat’yana knows Moscow very well, therefore she sometimes advised to travel by metro, and sometimes with her own car. I travel a lot in Russia for our company and always with an interpreter. And honestly Tat’yana is the best interpreter I’ve had till now. She speaks English very well. She communicates very happy and with enthusiasm.
Robbin, Holland (2010)
Tat'yana was an excellent guide for our walking (and Metro) tour of the historic center of Moscow. She was friendly, knowledgable and enthusiastic about her city. Her English is perfect and we would certainly recommend her to you. Much better than joining a large group.
Steve and Jenny Green, Bristol, UK (2011)
Thank you very much for the nice time today! Although I knew a lot about Moscow already, I learned so much more today.Your flexibility to rearrange the tour the way I wanted is highly appreciated! I'll recommend you to all my colleagues and friends who visit Moscow. (Maybe we meet again) Wish you great success in this business and keep the good work :-)

We went to Moscow with a group of 30 university students. I will recommend Moscow City Guide to all kind of tourist in Moscow. Tat’yana has more than enough skills to help you making your trip unforgettable.
Kirsten van den Ham, Holland (2011)
I had a really good day - better than I could ever have hoped for. Beyond showing me the landmarks, you really gave me some insight into Russian culture and how the city and its people's history evolved to be what it is today. I thanked the hotel for recommending you.
Nigel, Switzerland (2011)
With two friends I enjoyed a walking tour through the city. We saw Beautiful Square (now called Red Square) with Kremlin and Saint Basil's, Church of Christ the Savior, stunning Metro Stations and Sparrow Hills. Even though it was snowing there was no ice to break: From the beginning, we enjoyed every minute with Tat'yana. She was charming, patient and, with perfect English, she showed outstanding knowledge of Moscow, its sights and its history! Out of five stars she deserves six!
Sascha, Germany (2011)
Tatyana's tour was a highlight of our trip to Russia. She knew so much about the history, culture and current events of the city, we got to experience so much more out of our visit to Moscow because of her. She took us to so many special spots and as we traveled from one location to the next told us stories about Russian traditions, legends, fashion. Because she has lived in the United States for some time she was able to make some really interesting cross cultural comparisons. We were all exhausted from the flight but somehow her energy kept us awake and laughing all along. Thank you so much Tatyana!
Gallim Dance, New York, US (2011)
I would like to say thank you for being our guide ... you have done a really good job!!! We have been on so many city tours in the past, but this one was absolutly the best we have joined. You're are so enthusiastic explain us your city. When we are thinking about Moskau ... we always remember you!!!
Juergen, Germany (2011)
We toured Moscow for seven days in August, 2011. Tat' yana was with us most days, providing transportation, translation, and an incredible knowledge of Russian History. More than that, her love for Moscow comes through with a passion and is very contagious. We experienced day tours and night tours, museums and restaurants, all with that unique Tat' yana enthusiasm and flexibility. Without her services we would have seen only a fraction of what we did, and Moscow would have seemed to be just an average city. Now, having seen the real city, and so much of it, we can not wait to return. Tat' yana may not really be the First Lady of Russia, be she is certainly the First Lady of Moscow!
Father Kenneth Michiels, Louisiana, US (2011)
Dear Tat’yana, we had a great time in SP, it is a beautiful city and we all enjoyed it. Your services both days in Moscow were excellent, very professional. Your knowledge about the city history is very good and you focus in subjects most tourists like us are interested in. Next day, the transfer to the train station was sharp on time and your brother helped us go through the whole process, leading us to the door of the train, something we don’t see very often. I will definitely recommend your services to other people traveling to Moscow for tourism or business. Sincerely,
Alfredo, Brazil (2011)
Our experience in Moscow was fantastic thanks to your involvement. We both agree that having both you and Galina show us the sights on the first day helped us to appreciate the city. It also allowed us to feel at ease looking around over the next few days after initially being shown and discussing the various attributes of Moscow by yourself. We would certainly recommend your services to any person visiting the city and hope that one day we may return and further explore Moscows surroundings and St Petersburg.
