We always had someone pick us up (with a nice sign w/ our name in their hand). In fact, this personal attention was sometimes a bit overwhelming. We ALWAYS had a driver and a translator with us. We sometimes had to fight to be left alone. Yes, we can take a bus to Red Square. Yes, we can take the metro ourselves. The translators had a hard time giving us some freedom! I felt very safe both in Moscow as well as in Sibiria. But it is certainly nice to have someone around you that knows the place and the language!
