Our Trips

Classic Big Trans-Siberian

Moscow to Beijing

 

This is a popular trip - for some good reasons! It combines the two en-route stops you absolutely shouldn’t miss (Lake Baikal & Mongolia), but within a time frame that enables you to fit it into a two week vacation from work (if you’re a victim of such pressures). Even so it’s bursting with rich content all along the way!
