The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

Fantastic excursion with Simon and Sergei who acted as interpreters for us with the instructor. The excusion is not cheap but given the lack of shooting ranges that were open to tourists this was put only choice. Besides the cost, the weapons you shoot are classic Russian firearms that possess alarming power. For gun enthusiasts there is no better place to try different firearm than Moscow with these guys. The tour guides were with us every step of the way showing their professionalism and helping us with all the paperwork. A great excursion - thanks Simon and Sergei
