I graduated as a teacher of foreign languages and have always enjoyed working with people and traveling. That is why in 2002 I joined Moscow Association of Guide-Interpreters to take a special course in guiding, history and art.
For over 10 years I have been working for such travel agencies as Monde sans Frontier (France, Paris), “Grand Circle Cruise Line” (Program Director), “Vantage” (Moscow Itinerary), “Vikings” (Moscow Itinerary), “Royal Caribbean” (“Jewels of the Seas”- north of Europe, ”Brilliance of the Seas”-Mediterranean).
The experience I gained helped me and my colleagues to launch our travel agency Moscow Navigator.
Being keen travelers and explorers by nature, we value pre-planned itineraries and flexibility in choosing the tracks. That’s why we offer this approach to our tourists. Our idea is to think globally, to ruin well-known stereotypes and prejudices and to help people to discover our country.

Elena Krivtsova
Host and editor of the website, Moscow tour guide, interpreter, teacher of English and Spanish.

I graduated from Moscow State University where I majored in English and Spanish. I’ve always been inspired a lot by history, art, literature. I took a course in guiding and became a tour guide. I enjoy my job very much as I find it exciting and intellectually stimulating.
Since 2005 I’ve worked for many travel companies as a local guide in Moscow, I’ve accompanied tourist groups in Russia, Baltic States, Poland and Czech Republic.
I’m currently conducting tours for English-speaking and Spanish-speaking visitors.

I’m in love with my city – Moscow – which is full of history, art and mysteries. I’m eager to “reveal” my city to you, let you feel the taste of it, find out about its traditions and about its long dramatic history. Kremlin license # 9990013560008 since 2005

Moscow is big and beautiful, but Russia is much bigger! I would like to show you the charming Russian country-side, the cute log-cabins the people still stay in, the architecture 300 years older, than any building in Moscow, and the way the provincial towns live.
The professional English-speaking guide, we will be very happy to show you the Russian country-side. If you see only Moscow and St Petersburg, you can not feel real Russia! Only in Suzdal you can see the traditional peasant-style loghuts with the beautiful window-frames, the wooden churches, 850-years old limestone cathedrals in Vladimir, the magnificent Volga-river in Yaroslavl and Kostroma! You have the unique chance to see how the ordinary people live now! Moscow looks very similar to any of the worlds largest cities, only in the country-side you can get to know about the real Russia! The tour to Suzdal from Moscow. The tour to Vladimir and Suzdal. The tours of the Golden Ring of Russia in 2 days, 3 days, 4 days.
Ready to help you with the accomodation, minivan service (pick you up in Moscow and arrange all the Golden Ring of Russia tour).

Education: Moscow State University- PhD in Russian history.

Je m’appelle Sergeï Okulov. Je suis né à Boulogne-Billancourt et jusqu’à mes quatre ans, j’ai été un parfait petit parisien, bien que je rêvais déjà de Moscou. Mon rêмe a pu se réaliser dès la fin de la mission de mon père diplomate et voilà plus de cinquante ans que je profite pleinement de la beauté de ma si belle ville, avec ses quartiers tantôt bucolique, tantôt ultra-modernes, avec ses églises, ses cafés, ses monuments historiques, ses théâtres, ses artistes de rue et ses habitants. J’adore ma profession de guide car elle me donne la possibilité de partager cet amour de ma ville avec mes amis touristes. Je vous attends avec impatience.
