Decent and efficient introduction to Kremlin cathedrals and armory

The tour and also the wealth of information presented could be structured better to make it more engaging and to allow information to be absorbed better. Long monologues that pack in too much information ended up being a bit tiring as this involved a lot of standing around. Great that tickets had been purchased in advance by tour guide and that aspect of the tour certainly was good.

Excellent driving and nice ride ... price a little too high

The guide was excellent, a boy - Jurij - passionate, eclectic artist, funny and willing to go beyond the simple guide, but to tell us about his Russia and his Moscow. Obviously I do not describe the Kremlin, fascinating and bursting, I only discuss the price offered by GetYourGuide which is a little high for the 3 hours of visit, recognizing and considering everything we received from GetYourGuide itself without moving an eyelid, that is: ticket price, queues to buy them, personal guide in Italian, pick up at our hotel. Also considering the Russian cost of living, I would have preferred a cost to half of what I paid. However, the service is fine. To try.

The guide came for two hours instead of three. She claimed that she was instructed that the tour is two hours long.
