Bob KossI had a great time with Arthur. We went out one night to photograph Moscow at night, and we spent an entire day together touring around.
Arthur speaks fluent English and it is very easy to converse with him on most any topic. I grew up in the US during the Cold War and Arthur did the same in Russia. It was fascinating to compare our impressions as we both saw how much the world has changed.
One of my goals on our day tour was to find a specific gift for my wife. Arthur made it his mission to help me locate the present.
I would recommend Arthur to anybody visiting Moscow without hesitation.
