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 .

Providenciales Tours, Excursions, & Day Trips
Get Out and Explore!
There’s a wide selection of options on Providenciales when it comes to exploring the Turks and Caicos by land, sea and air.
This page covers land and air tours and day trips. You may be interested in Providenciales Boat Cruises .
Providenciales Land Tours
Scooter , 4x4 safari , and taxi tours are the primary excursions to choose from. These tend to visit the central sites on the island such as Cheshire Hall Plantation , The Hole , Chalk Sound , Sapodilla Hill , and Blue Mountain .
Island Day Trips
Although a relatively small country, the different islands in the Turks and Caicos each offer a unique atmosphere.
Over the last two decades, Providenciales has seen a tourism boom with the development and construction to match. The less-populated islands haven’t changed much over the years though, and offer a rare glimpse into the old tropical way of life.
A day trip to one of our other inhabited islands is a tranquil and fascinating experience.
Plan Your Own Adventure, or Take a Tour?
Day trips can either be arranged on your own, or an organized tour from a local company can be taken.
If you’d simply like to see the main beaches and sights, planning your own trip will typically be the best choice. You’ll pay less and be able to spend time at the sites that interest you.
Of the inhabited islands, the green and expansive North Caicos and Middle Caicos is a great first choice. A regular passenger ferry service runs several times per day between Heaving Down Rock Marina (Walkin Marina) on Providenciales and Sandy Point Marina on North Caicos, and rental cars are easily available. A causeway connects the two islands, and collectively there are many beautiful places to see.
Due to the regular scheduled flights and car rental companies catering to the cruise ships, a day trip to Grand Turk is likewise easy to set up. As the political capital of the country, many historical attractions are found in Cockburn Town and on Grand Turk.
A visit to the quiet islands of South Caicos or Salt Cay can definitely be rewarding, but due to ferry and flight time constraints and the availability of rental vehicles, a little more research and planning may be necessary. In some cases, it may make sense to stay overnight.
Fishing, Snorkeling, Scuba Diving and Boat Charters
Taking a relaxing boat cruise to one of our many cays is our most popular activity. You’ll have the option of a group or a private boat charter.
Most of the cruises offer snorkeling , which may include diving for conch to create our famous conch salad . Alternatively, there’s always the choice of a private fishing charter or scuba diving charter .
Large catamarans are a popular choice for boat cruises, due to the room and shallow draft afforded. Along with daytime island hopping and beach excursions , sunset cruises are very popular and there are many tour operators to choose from.
Kayaking, Hiking and Camping in the Wilds
If you’d like to truly get off the beaten track and see the obscure historical and natural sites of the Turks and Caicos, we advise adventuring with qualified guides.
Reclaimed by the dense vegetation, many historical ruins, blue hole and cave features will be almost impossible to find without some prior knowledge.
Camping sites and kayaking destinations are also greatly affected by location, and you’ll have the best experience if you adventure at the right location.
Several businesses offer outdoor adventures of this type, but none are scheduled. If you’re interested in this activity, ensure that you inquire and book well in advance.

Why some major artists are suddenly canceling shows, and in some cases entire tours
A series of tour cancellations and changes by big-name artists has sparked questions about whether the post-pandemic live music boom could be cooling, as consumer spending fatigue meets elevated ticket prices.
On Friday, Jennifer Lopez announced she was canceling her 2024 tour , citing a desire to spend more time with her family. Meanwhile, the Black Keys announced they were abandoning a stadium tour in favor of a series of shows at smaller venues.
Both tours had recently become the subject of social media fodder, namely screenshots showing empty venues at select tour dates. (NBC News could could not directly verify their authenticity.)
Indeed, some of the evidence of a slowdown is anecdotal. SeatGeek said in an email that the average resale ticket price to attend a summer concert is down to $213 from $257 around this time last year. The company suggested some of the decline could be attributed to the absence of megatours on par with Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” and Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” outings last year.
For artists whose popularity has crescendoed, there appears to be plenty of demand — and high prices. The average resale price for Olivia Rodrigo’s “Guts” tour is $571, and the next-highest is $409 to see Morgan Wallen, according to SeatGeek data first reported by Axios .
Many of those tours are being sold through Ticketmaster and its parent Live Nation. And prior to facing landmark accusations that it is a monopoly , a claim it denies, Live Nation reported its biggest first quarter ever, with $3.8 billion in revenues. Its concerts business alone was up 26% to $2.9 billion, while “estimated fans” globally were up more than 20%, and up 42% in North America.
Yet official government data points to the makings of a return to a more normal pace for live music event sales after a post-pandemic boom. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last month that movie and concert admissions prices climbed just 3.4% year over year through April, the lowest reading since 2021 and the second-consecutive month showing a slowdown.
Dave Clark, editor of Ticket News, which tracks the live entertainment industry, said the period of explosive live music growth following pandemic reopenings may in hindsight be seen as an aberration: People were simply more eager — and more financially able — to go to as many shows as they could after months cooped up indoors.
This year, Clark said, a reckoning may be emerging.
“The days where there was enough demand to sell out arenas at top dollar just isn’t there in this live events economy — outside of people like Taylor Swift who can sell whatever they want wherever they want,” he said.
At a time when many consumers are struggling to pay for basic necessities, he said, “people are seeing some of the prices they’re asking and just saying, ‘Hard pass.’”
Another factor may be a supply issue, Clark added: too many acts trying to tour at once, or too many times. In the pre-streaming era, bands would go on tour as a way of marketing an album. These days, he said, it’s reversed, since the returns on recorded music have shrunk dramatically.
“Now they’re making records to sell the tour,” he said. “That paradigm has a lot to do with it. It’s just a very overloaded market.”
The Black Keys did just release a new album, and its debut single hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in March.
Still, the rock duo announced it would cancel and reschedule its summer touring plans, switching from arenas to other venues that provide a more “intimate experience,” according to the band. The new dates have not yet been announced.
The Black Keys aren’t the only group that may be falling victim to costly concert fatigue.
Pop-rock band 311 announced it had canceled upcoming European tour dates due to the “rising costs of touring overseas,” which made completing certain portions of the tour “unfeasible.”
Other stars including Pink and Justin Timberlake have also recently canceled specific show dates, while the Jonas Brothers recently postponed their upcoming European tour , though none officially cited financial concerns as reasons for doing so.
“I think with all that competition for fan dollars, it was obviously natural that some artists were going to lose,” said Bill Werde, director of the Syracuse University Bandier Program for Recording and Entertainment Industries.
There are still plenty of large-scale tours planned for this summer that, so far, appear to be unaffected by flagging demand. Hootie & the Blowfish have 48 dates booked this year, while Dave Matthews Band is slated for 34. Other top acts hitting the road include Maroon 5, Zac Brown Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kenny Chesney and Chris Stapleton.
But experts say recent economic trends in the live-music industry, especially the type of consolidation the Justice Department is now targeting, have translated into fewer smaller-sized venues.
That’s made it more difficult for a given tour date to make financial sense for the artist, venue and promoter.
“Some shows, they can’t afford to drop prices; they can’t afford to wait to try to sell out the rest of the building,” Clark said.
If there is uncertainty about all stakeholders being able to at least break even, he said, the show might get canceled.
Such realities have collided with a more circumspect concertgoer. Brittney D’Mello, a 23-year-old K-pop fan from New Jersey who works in corporate marketing, posted to X about her frustrations with the current touring landscape.
“The tickets are too expensive,” D’Mello said. “There’s only a SMALL amount of people (10%) that will spend $500+ on vip/floor/premium,” she said. “The rest of us have budgets and won’t spend $100 on nosebleeds,” she said, referring to seats that are typically the farthest away from the stage.
“Everyone is touring this year … and we only have money for 2-3 concerts MAX,” she added.
In a follow-up interview with NBC News, D’Mello said she simply decided to cap her concert budget.
“I will only go see two artists that are my tried-and-true favorite artists,” she said. “But I won’t be casually going to concerts anymore. And after going to concerts twice, I think that’s where I stop.”

Michigan central station reopens june 6 with an epic concert, followed by public tours all summer long and a 'phased reactivation.' let's catch you up on the historic train depot's revitalization..
Tonight's the night.
Starting June 6, 2024, for the first time, the public will get a chance to look inside the six-year renovation of the historic building , which sat abandoned for decades after the Corktown train depot's closing in 1988. Ford purchased the station in 2018 from the Moroun family.
Live updates: Michigan Central Station concert, festivities in Corktown
The Free Press got a peek inside the Michigan Central Station in recent weeks. Here's everything we saw, plus what to know on the reopening concert , tours and more.
What is Michigan Central Station?
Michigan Central Station opened in 1913 in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood as one of the country’s most spectacular transportation terminals. It saw 4,000 daily passengers at its peak, but, following decades of declining rail travel, was shuttered in 1988 and sat vacant for three decades.
Ford Motor Co. bought the decaying building in 2018 and spent the next six years renovating it.
Michigan Central Station photos
Here's what Michigan Central Station looks like inside .
The before-and-after photos give you a clear picture of what the train station looked like during its early days and abandoned years, and how it compares to after the $950-million renovation. Here's a look .
When is the Michigan Central Station concert?
A free concert will celebrate the train depot's rebirth, featuring a lineup of well-known Detroit artists. It will be held at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in Roosevelt Park in front of Michigan Central Station.
The 90-minute show is part of an 11-day series of first-look events dubbed “Michigan Central OPEN." The space will accommodate 15,000 concertgoers.
Who are the Michigan Central Station concert performers?
A blockbuster, all-star celebration of Detroit music will bring Diana Ross, Jack White, Big Sean and a host of other top names to the restored Michigan Central train station.
Eminem and his manager, Paul Rosenberg, are billed as executive producers of the Thursday night show. The concert is spearheaded by Ford Motor Co., which spent nearly $1 billion to renovate the site and unveiled the artist roster Monday morning after weeks of buildup.
Other performers include hip-hop duo Slum Village , gospel stars Kierra Sheard and the Clark Sisters , techno-house DJ Theo Parrish and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra . The show will also feature visiting artists such as Jelly Roll , Fantasia , Common and Melissa Etheridge performing tributes to the city’s rich music heritage.
Here's more from Brian McCollum.

Branded as “Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central,” the event will stream live on Peacock and WDIV Channel 4 on Thursday night , starting at 8:30 p.m., then air at 7 p.m. Sunday on NBC as a prime-time special.

Michigan Central Station road closures
When are the michigan central station tours.
Free public tours of the Michigan Central Station begin Friday, June 7, and continue through Sunday, June 16 . Registration for these tours is sold out. These "OPEN Houses" from June 7-16 will allow visitors to experience the grandeur of the restored station through an "immersive" tour. Visitors can expect to explore various activations, storytelling and art throughout the ground floor of the train station.
In addition, OPEN Outdoors will take place outside of the train station on the front lawn of the renovated Book Depository building, now known as Newlab.
After June 16, the first floor will be open for tours on Fridays and Saturdays through the summer. Expanded hours will later be announced for the fall, when the first phase of commercial activations opens to the public, according to a news release.
Here's more .
