Treasures of the Tsars 6 Days
This is the perfect short tour of Russia's glorious past and present capitals
Russia offers hints of fairytale flavour and on this fascinating tour we surround ourselves with culture, history and breathtaking architecture. In cosmopolitan Moscow, one of the most populous cities in Europe, we discover beautiful buildings, flourishing parks and a remarkably efficient metro system where the station platforms are replete with art, murals, mosaics and ornate chandeliers. St Petersburg, built on what originally were more than 100 islands, is a romantic city of bridges and canals. We explore the wide streets and marvel at stunning palaces and magnificent churches. This tour offers an illumination of this country that for so long has guarded its treasures from the West.

Mongolia is one of the world's last unspoiled wilderness areas, blessed with mountains, lakes, deserts and steppes
The true spirit of Mongolia is to be found in its countryside. Mongolian tradition eschews land ownership, thus it is known as the land without fences. The vast, starkly beautiful scenery stretches endlessly to the horizon and most nights we stay in gers local-style white felt tents to appreciate the remarkable solitude. Our journey takes us via wide rivers and tranquil lakes, singing deserts and endless steppes. We travel south to the deserts of the Gobi and visit several conservation centres to learn about current environmental work. Mongolia's hardy locals, who are affectionately dubbed Asia's cowboys in this, its Wild West', spend most of their time tending to vast herds of animals, but they are also incredibly hospitable and happy to invite visitors into their homes to experience some of their customs and culture. A sojourn in this fascinating and rarely-visited country is an extraordinary experience.
