Language
If none of you speak Russian we highly recommend you to order a translator for 6500 rub per group. Sometimes the guide accepts to conduct a full group of foreigners in English, but it may be possible if there are at least 4 persons.
If some of you speak Russian and will translate for the others — that’s no problem. But we don’t allow foreigners to join a Russian group with no any translator — you will understand nothing.
Photography
You may make photos yourself for free. Please be noticed: it’s impenetrable dark in Neglinnaya, light comes only from personal lights
If you want to get good photos, we recommend to order a professional photography for 5850 rub per group.
FAQ
Who leads. Excursions are conducted by a digger with experience of more than 10 years. He will not only take you to interesting places in underground Moscow, but also tell the history of these places and share his personal stories. It happens that the main guide is replaced by a spare (also a great guy). They also lead large groups together.
Composition of the group. The tours are being lead in groups. The average number is 5-6 people.
Temperature and smell. Rainwater flows through the collectors. The humidity here is high. In summer, it is slightly cooler than on the surface. In winter, on the contrary, it is warmer. All year round it’s about 5-10 degrees Celsius. There is no unpleasant smell: this is not a sewer!
Children are allowed, however, you should pay attention: all participants put on high shoe covers. A height of at least 160 cm is recommended for comfortable movement. Please tell us if any member of your group is younger than 18. Children can only go with parents who are responsible for them.
Health restrictions. The event is not suitable for people with cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary diseases, as well as those suffering from mental disorders, including fear of the dark and confined spaces. Also note that the tour is active, you will have to climb the stairs with crossbars, bend down, go down the incline, holding on to the rope. If you have health problems, please consult with us in advance.
