Daria Nesterovskaya

Daria has over 3 years experience as a professional tour guide in Moscow.  Her English is superb.  She offers a general sightseeing tour of Moscow to acquaint you with the city.  She also offers specific tours including Novodevichy Monastary, which I would recommend.   Daria charges 25$ per hour and will accept reservation of not less than 4 hours.  You need to book Daria well in advance because starting May 1 she gets very, very busy and starts to turn away tour requests. Daria is very responsive to email and telephone requests.
