Russia is a destination that offers appeal all year round. Popular departures dates coincide with Christmas/New Year, Easter, Bank, National and school holidays, so book early to guarantee your place. Flight availability is particularly sought after during these periods so source your flights and book your place soon early.
Yes! We take lots of single travellers to Russia, and the great thing about our trips its that you are in a group so you will always have plenty of company, and the shared experience is a great way to form some lasting friendships.
If you’re travelling alone and would like to share a room with a fellow traveller of the same sex, on the go can arrange this on most of our group tours. If this cannot be arranged, you will be required to pay the single supplement as detailed in the price structure for the appropriate tour. If undertaking a tour or city stay from our Special interest, tailor made secion, a bolt-on or pre or post tour accommodation, the single supplement will need to be paid if you’re travelling alone.
Russian trains are solid, utilitarian and reliable. All our passengers are reserved in mixed-sex 6-berth sleeper cabins. You’ll have your own cosy berth complete with fresh-laundered linen provided (except Trans-Siberian Train Service) and a place to stash your luggage. Though not air conditioned, trains are thankfully heated during the winter season. Letting the train take the strain is the most comfortable way to achieve distances that would otherwise entail a somewhat unenlightened drive with little legroom. It's possible to upgrade from 6-berth cabins to a 4-berth cabins, contact us for more details. (All our tours include a relaxing overnight journey by train)
The Moscow Metro is the easiest and quickest way to get around and your tour will include a Moscow Metro travelcard (for 6 journeys/rides). Riding the Moscow Metro is a sightseeing excursion in itself! Meanwhile, although St Petersburg has an equally fine Metro transportation system, as the city is more walker-friendly you’ll be able to get to most inner-city sights often without the need to board the Metro.
SPECIAL NOTE: Mind your purses and bags aboard the Metro. Pickpockets are as prevalent here as elsewhere.
Our group tours are more suited to adults and so travellers must be 16 or over and accompanied by a parent or guardian if under 18. On our tailormade tours we welcome children of all ages
