Traveler support SERVICES
Some examples
Questions answered. FREE OF CHARGE AS A PUBLIC SERVICE if we happen know the answer, or can easily look it up in a telephone directory, or find it out by making a phone call or two, More involved research projects can be undertaken as a paid service.
Visa advice. We monitor the situation on the visa support market, and may be of help by recommending an agency that does a good job. See www.cheap-moscow.com for a list of visa support agencies, together with client feedback about some of them. Same applies to registration: we keep our eyes open for those who can help you quickly and inexpensively. IT TURNED OUT MUCH EASIER FOR ME JUST TO ARRANGE FOR THE VOUCHER TO BE SENT TO YOU THAN TO EXPLAIN HOW TO GET IT. I NEED A SCAN OF YOUR PASSPORT, NO MORE THAN 200KB, AND YOUR TRAVEL DATES, AND YOU'LL NORMALLY GET YOUR INVITATION WITHIN HOURS
Airport transfer. The cost is $40. Before shopping for a better price consider that being pickup up by me (in 80% of cases I do that personally) gives us a chance to discuss you plans, questions, and concerns.
I've moved out transportation services to a new site www.moscowdrivers.net
Orientation tour. Our apartment rental guests receive a brief orientation tour around the neighbourhood. Olesya can be hired for an extensive Moscow Survival tour that includes learning the layout of the city and key landmarks, how to operate public phones, how to catch a cab and negotiate the price, shopping tips and tricks etc. etc., a total of 3-5 hours for $50. The amount you will save, armed with this information, is much more than the actual cost of the tour.
Travel escort. Depending on the qualifications required, the cost will be $50 to $200 per day.
