We did tours along the Moscow Metro to marvel at the precious architecture, we’ve been to Monino to look at the TU-144 Supersonic Passenger Jet and other unique expositions – we’ve travelled all along the Golden Ring for clients who asked for it. However, some people just come and go or have other plans before and after the flight. For those, we gladly organize just the flight in a straightforward and cost-effective way.
