“I’ve participated in several foreign team tours over the years, and our trip to Spain and France in the summer of 2017 was the best-organized and most enjoyable of them all.  Our hosts from Anthony Travel kept things smooth and easy for us logistically.  When player fatigue or weather called for adjustments to our schedule, those adjustments were made without any problems.  Our local guides were fantastic and became like members of our team family.  The entire experience was first-class from start to finish.”

“The opportunity to allow our student-athletes to experience a foreign tour is something that is truly a learning experience for them.  It will give them an opportunity to expand their cultural norms as well as compete at a level they are not accustomed on foreign soil.  Our experience in planning the event has been extremely easy as coaches.  Anthony Travel has been eager to answer all our questions, handle the entire planning process and leave us with no worries once we embark on our trip.  As a coaching staff I would without reservation say that if you have the ambition to take your team abroad contact Anthony Travel and give your student-athletes a memory they will cherish!”

“It was almost a no-brainer.  I don’t know of any scenario where you’d have the opportunity to travel and spend more time together that you would pass up.  Hopefully, we’ll connect more as a team and then get the additional training to prepare for the season.  It’s really a chance to jump-start what we’re trying to do, while doing it in a first-class way.”

Customer

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .

Moscow City Council questions, then passes library resolution

Mar. 5—A city of Moscow resolution supporting the Latah County Library District sparked debate during Monday's City Council meeting before ultimately being passed by the councilors.

Moscow joined four other Idaho cities — Blackfoot, Shelley, Firth and Aberdeen — that have created similar resolutions supporting libraries. Moscow City Supervisor Bill Belknap said Friday it is a response to recent efforts in the Idaho Legislature to police library materials that Idaho lawmakers view as harmful to minors.

The resolution states that the city provides "its support and full confidence in the Board of Trustees and Library Director of the Latah County Library District ... to provide appropriate access to print and electronic reading materials suitable to patrons regardless of age."

Several councilors, while expressing their support for the library district, also shared their hesitation in passing such a resolution.

Councilor Julia Parker said it is odd for the council to pass a partisan resolution and wondered why the council does not take similar actions for other issues like women's rights and LGBTQ-related issues.

Councilor Hailey Lewis supported the resolution, but expressed fear Moscow will see retribution from the Idaho Legislature if it's passed.

Councilor Drew Davis said he would prefer to have hard face-to-face conversations with lawmakers instead, because he believes a resolution is too easy for them to ignore.

"To me this is doing something without having the hard conversation," he said.

Davis was the only councilor to vote against the resolution.

Councilor Sandra Kelly said the city should not be afraid of retribution, and should pass the resolution to show the city stands by its library.

"I want them to know that they do have our full support and confidence," she said.

Belknap said Monday the city does not operate the Moscow Public Library, which is part of the Latah County Library District, but it does financially support the library building.

Moscow City Council OKs stage design for East City Park

May 7—Moscow City Council on Monday narrowly approved an agreement with an architecture firm to create a conceptual design for a new East City Park main entertainment stage.

The current stage has deteriorated to the point that the awning over the stage platform had to be removed earlier this year. The stage was built by volunteers 40 years ago.

City staff proposed entering into an $18,700 agreement with Design West Architects to create 30% of a conceptual design and cost estimate for replacement of the stage.

The plan includes attaching the new stage to the northwest side of the park's restroom.

The council approved the agreement 4-3 with Mayor Art Bettge being the tiebreaker. Hailey Lewis, Bryce Blankenship and Sandra Kelly voted against the agreement, citing concerns with the new stage's location and orientation.

Lewis said she does not want to pay an architect $200 an hour in taxpayer dollars on a design she doesn't believe the public will like, and prefers the current position and orientation of the stage.

"I would rather replace things as is," Lewis said

Also on Monday, the council approved a controversial housing development despite resident concerns about the density of housing it will create in their backyards.

The council voted 4-2 to approve a 2.53-acre preliminary subdivision plat. The Wildrose Court subdivision, located east of Wildrose Drive and south of Flomer Lane, would have 16 lots ranging from 3,000 square feet to 10,666 square feet in size.

During the public hearing section, residents near that property expressed worries over the new homes being built 15 feet from their fence, obstructing their view and creating more traffic.

Councilors who voted in favor of the subdivision said there is a need for growth and infill in Moscow because of the shortage of affordable homes.

"If we stop growing our housing stock, none of us are going to be able to afford to live here," said Julia Parker.

Blankenship and Lewis voted against the preliminary plat for Wildrose Court.

At the top of Monday's meeting, newly appointed Moscow Police Chief Anthony Dahlinger was sworn into duty.

May Chapter Chat: World Travel, an Irreverent Guide by Anthony Bourdain

DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) - The start of May means schools are winding down and summer is just around the corner.

Chris Warren, Director of the Dothan Houston County Library Systems, chose a travel-themed book to celebrate the return of summer vacation for this month’s edition of Chapter Chat.

Warren decided on World Travel, an Irreverent Guide by chef, writer and documentarian Anthony Bourdain.

“Anthony Bourdain is real typical of what you’d consider a ‘travel log’ writer: he went all around the world, he tried all kinds of food, he met all kinds of people,” Warren said.

Warren said one of the benefits of World Travel is that readers can glean much information from the book.

“What’s really great about this [book] is it’s probably the most practical of all of the books [Bourdain] has written,” Warren said. “You can thumb through it, you can look at different countries, he has information or advice about how to get there, how to get into the airport, where you should eat, where you should go, even places that you should avoid, and, in keeping with what his brand was, some places that are sort of ‘off the beaten path.’”

Not only does World Travel offer wisdom in the form of an informational traveler’s guide, but Warren said the book is a fun one, too.

Warren suggested even travel-averse readers might enjoy Bourdain’s work.

“I would suggest this book because it can be a really good point of inspiration,” he said.

However, Warren did warn that those who read it might be infected with the “travel bug” and want to visit some of the places Bourdain discusses.

Those interested in borrowing World Travel, an Irreverent Guide are invited to create a library card with the Dothan Houston County Library Systems.

LUKA DONCIC HAD his defender at his mercy, a step behind his right hip, as he drove down the middle.

It was clutch time in the Dallas Mavericks ' season opener -- with 2:20 remaining and the Mavs down two points -- and San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson was trailing him coming off a high pick-and-roll. Doncic accelerated to stay a full step ahead of Johnson as Spurs center Zach Collins retreated in drop coverage, concerned that Doncic could throw a lob to rookie big man Dereck Lively II .

Instead, Doncic picked up his dribble, took his gather step and slowed his gait before planting his left foot.

And then he ... paused.

Johnson, as Doncic predicted, leaped with hope of blocking the shot from behind. Johnson quickly realized his mistake, pulling his arms down before he even reached the peak of his jump, hoping to avoid bumping into the Mavs' MVP candidate. It was too late.

Luka Doncic hesitates in midair and knocks down a tough and-1 to reach 30 points for the game.

Doncic patiently waited for a beat, a remarkable display of balance on one foot after slamming the brakes, and made sure Johnson brushed his right side before softly kissing the ball off the glass for a go-ahead and-1.

As the ball splashed through the net, Doncic's momentum carried him toward the baseline. He strutted a few extra steps and proudly smirked toward the crowd at Frost Bank Center. He tapped his temple a couple of times with his right index finger in celebration of deceiving his defender with deceleration.

"You want me to tell all my secrets?" Doncic said with a sly grin when asked to explain the move after the first of the Mavs' 50 wins this season. "I saw after my first step he was coming full speed at me, so the second one I just slowed down and stepped a little bit into his lane.

"Pretty smart, I'll say."

Doncic, the NBA's scoring leader at 33.9 points per game, ranks as one of the league's most effective finishers. He's shooting 69.4% in the restricted area this season, almost 10 percentage points above the league average, despite throwing down only two dunks. Doncic possesses the dangerous combination of a deft touch and a knack for creating space in crowds. He often achieves the latter by simply slowing down on the final step or two of his drives.

"The decel" has quickly made its way into the toolboxes of the NBA's premier scorers, particularly those who do much of their damage by attacking defenses off the dribble. Some superstars, such as the Oklahoma City Thunder 's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Minnesota Timberwolves ' Anthony Edwards , often trick defenders to create crevices around the basket by tapping the brakes at the end of 100 mph drives. Others, such as Doncic and two-time MVP Nikola Jokic , frequently go from slow to slower to allow foes to fly by before an uncontested layup.

"They're looking for that fastball, and then when you throw that changeup, they're way out in front," Mavericks coach Jason Kidd told ESPN. "When you look at the decel for Luka or Joker, everyone's anticipating to meet them at a certain point.

"But they have a different plan in mind."

EDWARDS READILY ADMITS he stole the decel move from Luka. Just not that Luka.

"Honestly, I got that from Luka Garza , a big dude on our team," Edwards recently told reporters, referring to the skilled but undersized center who was on a two-way deal for most of the past two seasons. The Timberwolves gave Garza, the 2021 national college player of the year, a standard contract in early April.

"In workouts, they were showing me a move, and he did it. I was like, OK, I'm going to try that. The first time I did it was versus the Knicks in preseason, and it worked."

It actually worked twice during that Oct. 14 tuneup -- on back-to-back possessions.

In the first instance, Edwards came off a Rudy Gobert screen on the left wing and attacked downhill with 7-footer Mitchell Robinson in drop coverage. Edwards picked up his dribble in the paint and executed a right-left Eurostep, going significantly slower on the second stride. Then he balanced on his left foot for a moment and quickly pump-faked to get Robinson to bite, drawing a foul.

On the next Timberwolves possession, Edwards executed a slightly different version of deceleration at the end of a fast break. New York center Jericho Sims sprinted down the floor in hopes of a chase-down block, but Edwards disrupted the springy big man's timing by taking his two post-dribble steps at a pedestrian's pace. Once again, he pulled a pump fake off one foot. Sims, realizing he was fooled as he left his feet, held his hands up high to avoid contact, but he bumped Edwards with his chest. And-1.

"Ever since then," Edwards said, "I was like, I'm going to just slow-step every time, for sure."

Garza, a prolific scorer in the G League who has played a total of only 754 NBA minutes, was amused that Edwards credited him for the move that has helped elevate the high-flying superstar's game. Garza certainly doesn't claim to have come up with the concept of using deceleration to throw a defender off balance, but he humbly claims the shot fake after the second step as "the wrinkle that I kind of added to it."

It took one session with Timberwolves director of player development Joe Boylan and Garza for Edwards to get different varieties of the move down.

"You have a guy like that doing that move, it's unstoppable," Garza told ESPN. "He'll go a hundred percent one time, then he'll slow down. That's when it becomes hard to guess what he's going to do, especially with him. He sees so much traffic around the rim, it's a really good move for him. Sometimes he can just switch it up [and] attack the rim and dunk."

Curiously, Edwards has never consulted with teammate Kyle Anderson about adding the decel to his toolbox. Anderson, a 10-year veteran, is nicknamed "Slo Mo" because he's adept at throwing defenders off balance with a plodding pace. Still, Anderson has been impressed by the way Edwards, one of the NBA's most explosive finishers, has incorporated the changeup into his game.

"Guys like me, I'm not using a whole lot of force going downhill," Anderson told ESPN. "I think the more impressive guys are Ant [and] Paul George , who are going downhill with so much speed and acceleration, then they're able to hit their brakes -- one, two and make a play from that. They're pretty special."

Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said Edwards has improved from "slightly above average as a finisher to more of an elite level" after developing a post-dribble deceleration tool. Edwards shot 61.1% in the restricted area this season, up from 57.8% a season ago.

"He was a 100-mile-an-hour runaway freight train downhill, and now he's worked hard on really being able to change speed and then have the body control," Finch said. "He was always great at getting there, just converting wasn't where it was supposed to be, but the game just slows down for those guys and then he's able to speed up and slow down alongside of it."

Edwards isn't the only rising star in the Western Conference playoffs who has benefited greatly this season by developing the move. Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams made it a focal point of his summer training after he was the Rookie of the Year runner-up a year ago.

Williams' scoring average increased from 14.1 points per game to 19.1 this season, and a big chunk of that bump came on drives. According to Second Spectrum tracking, Williams' scoring production off drives rose by 50% this season (5.2 points per game to 7.8) while also improving his efficiency (53.4% shooting this season, up from 51.8%).

"I think that's something you actually have to work on," Williams told ESPN. "I think the biggest thing physically is just understanding the steps. You want to understand what foot you're doing it off of and why you're doing it."

Doncic, however, shrugs when asked how he developed his decelerative tactics. Jokic does the same. The moves just came naturally for them.

"The slower players like Luka, Jokic, myself, that's kind of always been in our games," Anderson said.

Gilgeous-Alexander, whose 1,233 points scored off drives during the regular season topped his 1,162 in 2022-23 as the most in Second Spectrum's 11-year database, said he cultivated that creative aspect of his game while competing against older kids in Toronto.

"I was smaller, I was shorter and I was super skinny growing up playing basketball, so I had to just find ways to get around and get where I wanted to go," Gilgeous-Alexander told ESPN. "It always depends on the defense, and then from there, it's just read and react for me ...

"Honestly, I don't ever remember going into the gym and being like, 'I want to work on my stop and start and my change of pace.'"

DONCIC, FOR ALL of his talent, was not gifted with the most apparent forms of extraordinary athleticism by NBA standards.

But Doncic popped in certain biomechanical tests when he visited P3's Santa Barbara, California, facility as a 17-year-old. Specifically, Doncic's "ability to generate force during that eccentric phase of the movement as he's decelerating" rated better than more than 90% of the hundreds of NBA players who have tested at the facility, P3 director of biomechanics Eric Leidersdorf told ESPN.

In other words, Doncic is equipped with elite brakes, especially for a wide-framed, 6-foot-7 player.

Doncic's closest biomechanical comparison at the time, according to Leidersdorf: James Harden , who was then at the peak of his offensive game for the Houston Rockets . Not coincidentally, the ability to decelerate and then quickly change direction are critical elements of the step-back 3, an offensive skill that Harden pioneered and Doncic prolifically wields.

"Go try that sometime." - @LegsESPN 😂 Full episode of The Old Man and the Three Things with @jj_redick : https://t.co/DrASdKhhNe pic.twitter.com/hxYcQUg6mR — TheOldMan&TheThree (@OldManAndThree) October 30, 2023

It also allows Doncic to dominate as a driver despite primarily playing below the rim. He has finished among the NBA's top three in scoring off drives in each of the past five seasons. He had the best field goal percentage on those possessions among the top 50 drive scorers in 2022-23 (62.7%) and again this season (61.6%). He excels at creating space with sudden shifts in pace, power and footwork that require phenomenal balance.

"Most athletes in the NBA are Ferrari engines, whereas this requires just some really advanced braking systems," Leidersdorf said. "His ability to orient his hip in a way that he can decelerate and then change direction very subtly, but do so very, very rapidly is really impressive combined with the fact that he's big. If he puts a shoulder into a defender, the defender's probably moving further than he is.

"Those attributes together, I think, have proven to be really deadly for him. They're a combination of movement skills that let him leverage his basketball skill set at a level that very few guys in the league can."

Edwards' brakes also tested near the top of P3's charts. Then again, he essentially aced all of his biomechanical exams.

"Ant is kind of the rare breed who has world-class brakes and pairs that with just a world-class engine," Leidersdorf said. "He is one-of-one in that sense, truly from the numbers that we've seen, for guys who both slam on the brakes really well and then can also just punch the gas and beat you.

"The ability to bring it from 60 to zero and then get back to 60, that turnaround is probably unlike anything we've ever really seen."

NBA FANS MIGHT not know Zavier Simpson . The 27-year-old guard has spent most of his career grinding in the G League, with the exception of a few 10-day deals, including two with the Memphis Grizzlies at the end of this past regular season.

But Simpson is a cult hero of sorts due to his unconventional go-to move. He's a 6-footer nicknamed "Captain Hook" because his signature shot is a sky hook, usually launched off the dribble. Three summers ago, Simpson worked to develop a counter-move. That's how he ended up with what might be the funkiest decel move in pro basketball

Simpson takes his typical one-two step, baiting the defender into believing the sky hook is coming ... and freezes. Simpson stands on one foot, like a patient pelican, and lets traffic pass by. Then he shoots the ball flat-footed.

Zavier Simpson is so funny dude lol pic.twitter.com/FQCY3MIUhB — WC (@WolverineCorner) March 29, 2024

"It's definitely funny, man," Simpson told ESPN. "Especially the people's reaction afterwards. They don't know if it was a travel or if it wasn't a travel. Half the people think it's a travel, looking at the refs; the other half looking at their coaches. That's the best part of it."

Simpson has successfully used his move in the G League and open gyms, saying he has passed out of it when the defense manages to recover. But he has never had his shot blocked when using it. Though, he never had the opportunity to display his most extreme version of hitting the brakes during the seven games he played for the Grizzlies.

The tactic is all about timing.

"It's just looking at and reading your opponent to see what type of mood he's in," Simpson said. "See if he's being thirsty, trying to be a hero guy and trying to block the hook shot."

Deceleration is most often used as a scoring tactic against wannabe shot blockers, especially when defenders attempt to time a contest from a half-step behind.

"If I can see he's hauling, trying to catch up to me, then I know that if I stop while he's still sprinting, there's no way he can [stay tight]," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "It's just physics. He can't do it. Then if it's the other way around, like if he's expecting it, I can speed up."

"A lot of times defenders, if they're on your hip, feel like they're beat," Williams said. "Guys, usually when you beat them, are so amped up to try and block it. When you can get them rushing and kind of out of pace, to be able to stop gives you a lot of time to make your next move from there."

Often, other moves that focus on changes of direction -- such as a Eurostep -- lead to a layup or floater. Sometimes, it's a pass. Doncic and Jokic, especially, excel at drawing an extra step from a help defender after decelerating and tossing up a late lob or whipping a pass to an open shooter in the corner.

"Sometimes being slow and under control is an advantage," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. "You see so many guys when they come into a draft, their greatest strength as a player is their quickness. And their greatest weakness as a player is their quickness, because they don't have a means of controlling that.

"But Nikola keeps teams off balance. When you're not athletic, you can change speeds. It allows him, as he's driving and making plays -- and far more important, making reads -- to read everything that's going on."

In some instances, the point of slowing down is to draw contact. It's one of the ways that Gilgeous-Alexander and Doncic, who ranked second and fourth in free throws attempted this season, respectively, get so many whistles.

It's also a method physically stronger scorers use to create space. Jokic, in particular, benefits from the bumping around the basket.

"I just use my size, try to push a little bit," the 6-foot-11, 284-pound Jokic told ESPN.

"I don't need that much space, I just need a little bit of separation. So it's something that I think I use since I've played basketball, because I have a really high release and I can make shots around the rim. You don't need to jump that high, and if you have a little bit of touch around the rim, I think it's a great move.

"It's just momentum."

Phoebe Dynevor, Simone Ashley, and Jonathan Bailey were among the celebrities in attendance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art this evening.

preview for Bridgerton Season 3: Official Trailer (Netflix)

This year's theme, the Garden of Time , is inspired by a 1962 short story written by J.G. Ballard. In the story, per LitHub , "Count Axel and his wife live and listen to Mozart in a magnificent villa, surrounded by a garden of crystal flowers, as an angry and unruly army advances upon them." He begins plucking time-reversing flowers from his garden, until there are none left. The floral theme of the evening is obvious—and hews closely to the opulent world of Bridgerton .

Here, see all the photos of the Bridgerton cast at the Met Gala:
