Tour description

As you cannot judge a book by its cover, as it is impossible to judge Russia only by Moscow. Russia is more than Red Square and Kremlin. Outside the capital, there is even older and more wild lands, known as Siberia. A real traveler wants to know this country in all its diversity. We present to your attention a tour across Russia, from Moscow to Vladivostok by the famous Trans-Siberian railway.

Transport: Russian Railway passenger train, car or bus for excursions. 

Language: English- or German-speaking guide, other languages also possible

On your request the program may be changed: the route, duration, overnight places, included services.
