This vast and diverse country of Russia, occupying the top chunk of the Asian continent - and a big chunk of world history too - demands travel attention.
Russian architecture is both glorious and hideous, the history is monstrous, the art is sensational and the people can be touchingly friendly.
Absurd Fabergé eggs? Extraordinary onion domes? Caviar crepe? Yes, please. A hard day's White Night in St Petersburg? Slamming vodka with your taxi driver? Da!
Big, brutal, beautiful and intriguing, Russia is an enigma that's got to be sampled by any serious traveller.

 

These tour operators offer a variety of tours to Russia, bits of which [namely St Petersburg] are in Europe and bits in Asia. They will be happy to let you have brochures of their Russian tours if you wish.

If you are a tour operator and wish to list a few of your Russia holidays on this page contact us for our reasonable rates.

Winter Russia:
This 8 day tour of Moscow and St Petersburg offers a sparkling white-on-red look at Russia.
In Moscow it's guided walks around snowy Red Square, Lenin's Tomb, bizarre St Basil's and the golden Kremlin with its labyrinthine complex of palaces, churches and museums, the Moscow Metro and more - with time to wander by yourself if you choose, before catching the sleeper train to St Petersburg.
Peter the Great's spectacular home town is thought by many to be Europe's most glamorous city. In St Pete we have time for guided strolls around the city, including the stunning and expansive Hermitage museum, along famous Nevsky Prospekt and its golden domes with a side trip to Catherine the Great's Palace in Pushkin, Peter and Paul's Fortress, Peter the Great's Summer palace in Petrodvorets, or even a Kirov ballet performance.

Treasures of the Tsars [Estonia - Russia]
Start in Estonia's capital Tallinn, this 11-day cultural tour encompasses the neighbour country of Russia, the capital Moscow and splended St Petersburg as well the ancient towns of the 'Golden Ring'.
