Question 1

Do I need a visa to visit Russia?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your passport. Some travellers can use an e-visa and others need a tourist visa with an invitation letter. We provide invitation letters and visa support, and we check the current rules for your passport when we plan your trip, because they change.

Question 2

How far ahead should I plan?

Accepted Answer

A rough idea is enough to start. For busy seasons such as the White Nights in St Petersburg or winter ice on Lake Baikal, starting earlier gives you more choice of hotels and trains.

Question 3

Can you plan a private trip just for us?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every journey on this page is a first draft. We change the route, pace, hotels and guides to fit you, then send a day-by-day plan with a clear price.

Question 4

Which languages do your guides speak?

Accepted Answer

English, Hindi, Arabic and more. Tell us your language in the trip planner and we will match the guide.

Question 5

What happens once we are in Russia?

Accepted Answer

We meet you at the airport, arrange private drivers and local guides, and give you a Moscow number that answers for the whole trip.

Question 6

I am a travel agent. Do you work with agencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer net rates for individual travellers and groups, MICE and incentive programmes, and an operations desk in Moscow. Choose “A travel agent” in the planner to request rates.
