You can rely not only on his knowledge and experience but also on general wide knowledge and cultural baggage of the specialist.
  
  
•  Good translator knows Moscow better than native citizen. He is interested in modern objects and state of ancient buildings, is ready to share all new and interesting that is going on in the capital. Orientation of location is a key factor for individual programs.
