Overview

Russia’s twin capitals are a study in contrasts — Moscow’s Kremlin power and golden domes against St Petersburg’s canals, palaces and White-Nights elegance. This 7-night journey pairs both, linked by the sleek Sapsan high-speed train, so you see the best of Imperial and modern Russia in one seamless trip.

We handle the part travellers find daunting — the Russian tourist visa, the invitation letter, well-located hotels and English-speaking guides — so you arrive to Red Square already sorted. Add a Bolshoi or Mariinsky ballet, a Volga cruise or the Golden Ring and we tailor it further.
