How it works

Unofficial guides at Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Kiek in de Kök tower present forged or unofficial credentials, charge 15-30 euros for tours, then demand tips or threaten to report visitors to staff. Museum staff have no record of these guides. Some also upsell fake merchandise or skip-the-line passes that do not exist.
