- Red Square and KremlinIt is one of the most famous and visited squares in the world. It is approximately 330 meters long and 70 meters wide.
- Moscow metroAn underground labyrinth full of treasures. Massive marble walls display golden mosaics, sculptures of fallen leaders, and painted scenes of Russian history, all under sparkling crystal chandeliers.
- Majestic St.PetersburgA unique city for Russian history, elusive and incomprehensible. For more than two centuries, it was the brilliant capital of the great Russian Empire and now retains the status of the country's cultural and spiritual center.
- Hermitage MuseumAn iconic place of history and art where millions of works by the most renowned universal masters create a harmony and exquisite aesthetic for its countless visitors each year.

- The border between Europe and AsiaDifferentiating continents separated by seas or oceans is easy, but when it comes to "European" Russia and "Asian" Russia... can anyone say exactly where that division takes place?
- Baikal lakeLocated in the heart of vast Siberia, it appears from satellites or simply by glancing at a map as a huge blue eye.
- We ride horses in SiberiaIt’s an unforgettable experience, suitable for beginners. So, we’ll definitely do it and take amazing photos
- The Alekseevsky Bridge in KhabarovskIt is the largest bridge in all of Russia. Its length is 2.6 km, and its total height is 60 meters. It combines a single-track railway (lower level) and two lanes of automobile traffic (upper level).
- Vladivostok cityVladivostok is a city that many consider distant and unexplored. Located at the other end of the world, the city attracts all those who love the unknown.
- And many more Russian peculiarities.Of course, we will see much more, such as the typical Russian wooden houses, the nature, meet the locals, learn a few basic words (or maybe not😀), and dive deep into Russian culture, its customs, and the lives of its people

How are the trains in Russia?
We will do almost the entire tour by train, in fact on different types of trains. Now we will tell you how the trains are in Russia and what classes there are
Sapsan - high speed train
We enjoythe high-speed train - Sapsan - is the fastest train in the country, with a speed of up to 250 kph. It is a very practical method to travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg: fast, with a flexible schedule and Internet on board.
2nd class - Kupe - night train with a 4-berth compartment
This type of carriage consists of 9 quadruple compartments, each separated by four bunks (2 lower and 2 upper), a foldable table, and a sliding door. Among other amenities are personal reading lights, storage space (shelves above the door, boxes under the lower bunks, and shelves on the wall next to each bunk). Bedding is included in the ticket.
We always try to buy second-class train tickets, but it's possible that for some journeys, we may travel in third class.
3rd class - Platzkart - night train with bunk beds without compartments
The sleeper trains are specially designed for overnight or multi-day journeys and feature special bunks for sleeping.
The Platzkart carriage consists of 54 bunks, arranged in sections of 4 on one side and 2 on the other, with an aisle between both sides. The side bunks are positioned above and below the window. When the passenger is not sleeping, the lower side bunk transforms into a table and two seats. There are no individual compartments in the carriage. Bedding is included in the ticket price.

Why travel with us?
- You save your timePlanning a trip can be overwhelming and time consuming. From the definition of the itinerary and booking of hotels and transportation to the planning of activities and excursions. And even more so in a country like Russia because many things are only available in Russian.
And it's not just preparation time, but tb your time during the trip. By not knowing how everything works, how the traffic is moving, when there are traffic jams you can lose a lot of time and also get nervous that in the end will impact your impression of the trip.1 - No problems with languageOne of the main concerns of those who want to go to Russia is language. In addition, very few people speak English there and almost no one speaks Spanish, especially in the cities outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
So traveling with us you can not worry about it.2 - SecurityBy this we mean tranquility during the trip. We know perfectly how everything is organized in the country and with this you will avoid the typical problems with taxi drivers, hotels, transport, change of plans due to weather conditions or other unforeseen situations.3
- Good companyIf you do not feel like traveling alone or, you are looking for new friends or, you just think that traveling with more people means more fun, traveling in a group is the ideal type of trip for you. What you have to know is that many times people who choose the same trip as you, think similar to you and the probability that you will get along is very great.
This type of trips is also perfect for singles and for those who are tired of trying to harmonize their travel calendars with those of friends and in the end always stay at home.4 - Optimal itineraryOrganizing a trans-Siberian trip is not an easy task even for Russians - choosing the iconic places, the most important activities, coordinating all this with the train schedule, etc.
So join our group and make sure to visit the emblematic sites of the country and eliminate the fear of missing out on something relevant.5 - English-speaking guidesin each city who will assist you with boarding and disembarking from trains, transfer you to hotels, help with hotel check-in, assist in purchasing a SIM card, and exchanging money.6
- More value for your moneyIt is not always more economical to organize it on your own. In general, if you are looking to stay in central and quality places, visit the most important monuments, and travel without worries the costs will be similar but with the security of an agency.
In addition, in group trips the price is usually much cheaper than organizing it alone.7 - Gastronomic experience
Traveling without discovering the local gastronomy is not traveling. One of the first things people ask when we return from a trip is "how is it eating there?"
During our trip we not only recommend the typical Russian dishes to try, but we also take you to the best restaurants so that your gastronomic experience is top and so that you don't waste your time looking for where to eat.
8 - Support with visa and other papersWe help you with the information to make the visa (if you need it). We also take care of registration in Russia - a role that all foreigners who are in the country for more than a week have to get.9

Yes. We recommend one suitcase per person with approximate dimensions of 45x30x65 cm. If you bring a larger suitcase, you may encounter problems storing it on the train. If you bring two suitcases, there may not be enough space in your compartment. Also, try to keep it light, as we will be moving around a lot during the trip, and you'll have to carry your own luggage. Train stations usually have elevators, but sometimes they don’t work. Lastly, keep in mind that you'll be taking flights, and they do have their own baggage restrictions.
