Should I get a tour or self-explore Moscow, staying there for 8 days?

I will be going to Moscow for the first time next month and I am very excited. I have seen that it is wonderful town, full of culture and historical heritage. I have an option to take a tour through Moscow, and I can explore it on my own. I am not sure what is better, so if anyone could give me an advice, I would be grateful.

First of all, you probably already know Moscow is one very large city. If you do not speak Russian, you could be in a big problem. Almost everything is written in Cyrillic, which makes it almost impossible to guess what the writing is about. Moscow is very safe, but there are still areas you should never wander into if you do not know where you are going. Also, you could get lost, and when whether worsens, it is not quite a place you would like to just wander about like you would do if you were in Florence, for example. Because all the reasons i mentioned, I think you should get a tour the first time, and when you come back to Moscow after awhile, you could try exploring it on your own.
