    Walter, Canada, September 2024: Safe and friendly to all

    Of all my journeys and travels, the Trans-Siberian tour will remain the most impressive experience on my list.

    Not only because I saw the pearls of European architecture in the form of the palaces of St. Petersburg, or because I could watch this former Russian capital traveling around the city through its numerous canals, or because I could walk on the cobblestones of the famous Red Square or through the halls of Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, but also because I could witness the vastness of Siberia, its untouched nature and wet my feet in shrouded in many legends and mysteries - Baikal Lake.

    BRUCE, AUSTRALIA: TRIP OF A LIFETIME - SEEING RUSSIA AS IT REALLY IS

    I went with Discovery Russia on their 20 day tailored Tran-Mongolian Railway Tour from Sydney, Australia. On this trip, I visited Beijing, Ulaan Baatar, Listvyanka, Irkutsk, Yekaterinburg, Moscow and St Petersburg using the Trans-Mongolian and Trans-Siberian Railway.

    I've travelled by myself to multiple countries in the past and I'd be happy to say that Discovery Russia offers a unique service at an affordable price. Not only do they have prompt visa advisory services (they helped to expedite all three of my visas in three weeks after I decided to do the trip with short notice) but they also have passionate and extremely knowledgable local private guides who will show you the many gems hidden in towns across Russia and with their partner company in Mongolia.

    They were prompt in ensuring that all my transfers are covered and that my trip went with a minimal amount of hiccups. In fact they even helped me arrange a Russian SIM card (price included in the trip) so that I could communicate back home in Australia. They also have an extremely friendly 24hr help line with your own private trip organiser, so if anything goes awry, there was an extremely reliable safety net.

    As a result of this trip, I have made many friends abroad and I have no hesitations to return back to Russia a second time again with this tour operator! Indeed, two thumbs up and thank you to the team at Discovery Russia for helping me realise my dream in travelling across the full breadth of Asia!
