The land of the tsars, bloody revolution and architectural prowess awaits
Stretching from the Baltic to the Pacific and the Arctic to Central Asia, Russia is the biggest country in the world. It has an enormous variety of landscapes and attractions, perfect for cycling, walking or exploring. Holidays in Russia have a big cultural agenda. The iconic cities of Moscow and St Petersburg providing plenty of architectural interest. Here the ornate domes of St Basil's Cathedral and the Church of Our Saviour's Blood rise above the busy streets, and the Armoury in the Kremlin and the Hermitage in the Winter Palace house incredible collections of art. To the east of the Ural Mountains lies Siberia, a seemingly endless expanse of wild landsape. Lake Baikal is the deepest and oldest lake in the world, home to 1,500 endemic species. Further east still is Kamchatka, dominated by volcanoes and a dramatic place for a trekking holiday.
We can tailor almost any holiday to suit you, perfect if you’d like to change the dates, itinerary, or simply want a private adventure with a group of friends, family or fellow enthusiasts.
