Svetlana, Moscow tour guide

Welcome to Moscow! My name is Svetlana. I am a professional licensed Moscow tour guide. As a native Muscovite, I inherited my love of Russian history and culture from my mother and my love of Russian nature from my father.

I was a member of the communist youth organization when the USSR collapsed and a new era began. Monuments of old Russia were restored all over the country and new sources of historical information became accessible which allowed me to personally re-evaluate Russian history.

I always wanted to play a role in developing tourism in Russia, to share its beauty, culture and remarkable history. I feel really lucky to be able to do a job that I love. I very much enjoy introducing visitors to the landmarks of old Russia and I am keen to share my knowledge of the Soviet era and provide some insights into contemporary life in Russia.
