How can I find an evening bus tour of Moscow for this week?!?
I'm going to Moscow on a business trip this week. I'm working during the day, but would love to find an evening bus, or escorted tour to see some of the city while I'm there. As a female travelling alone and without knowing any Russian and never having been to Russia before I'm reluctant to explore the city on my own in the dark. Any suggestions welcome!

- Some Historical Museum on Red Square has always faced tourist buses. I recommend these tours only on Sundays. Otherwise you will only see traffic jams.
- Yeah it can be hard to navigate here not knowing the language at all. If I were you I would ask at your hotel about tours. They should have a concierge desk and can maybe even just get you a private guide to take you around in the evening. I think the Kremlin will be closed in the evening (I find a lot of things close at 7pm) but you can go to Red Square. You should also take a walk up Arbat Street. It is fun, with lots of Restuarants and street entertainers. It is getting chilly right now so wear layers and bring an unbrella. But don't be too afraid to explore a little. Moscow is surprisingly safe. Try to get a little Russian phrase book and learn the Cyrilic alphabet on the trip over. Have fun!
- I would post this question on the (www.expat.ru) forums. Many of the members work at language schools and might be able to help with finding a guide.
