Overview
No Ordinary Trip At the Trans-Siberian, they like to ditch the clichés, discard the puff, and concentrate on what they do best – bringing to life the world’s longest train route.
Trans-Siberian continually looks at ways of enhancing trips, incorporating seasonal specialities (like the Harbin Ice Festival), providing the historical context (pay a visit to the only remaining Soviet Gulag), or inviting you to savor the diverse cultural influences of indigenous people (sit down with a shaman, or enjoy the Siberian art of throat singing!).
Trans-Siberian's destinations include some of the most remote, extreme and little-visited places on earth – the Mongolian Gobi, the Siberian Steppe, the Taklamakan Desert and beyond.
But while the more “conventional” destinations like Moscow and St. Petersburg aren’t in that league, their rapid metamorphosis from grot to grandeur leaves visitors scrabbling for the inside-track of newly-stylish places to stay, eat and drink that baffles even visitors from other cities in Russia. In short – getting there is only half of it. Getting to see and try the good stuff once you’re there will often need transport beyond where the buses run, local nous to find hidden cave-paintings or private museums, ballet performances going on even when everything appears to be closed... and that’s where Trans-Siberian comes in.
As places that were once little visited attract more tourists (and more tour operators), you want a company with unrivalled knowledge, who will tell you it warts and all and who is able to come up with some real gems to create a truly memorable journey. It would be a waste of your time and budget to spend all that time and money getting there, and then missing what you came for!
Trans-Siberian is the UK’s leading provider of trips on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Their managing director is Moscow-based, a small team of consultants in the London office offer in-depth knowledge and a personalized service, while on the ground Trans-Siberian has long-established links with local agents, guides and hoteliers nurtured and developed over more than a decade.
Trans-Siberian has helped television crews from both the BBC and ITV capture this amazing journey on film, and a wealth of experience enables them to keep these trips as captivating and engaging as befits one of the world’s great journeys.
