Yes, it’s absolutely safe to travel to Russia now.

Despite the rumors Russia is considered to be one of the safest countries in Europe. The political situation never affects the citizens and guests of the country. On the contrary, Russia began to actively develop itself in the tourism sector.

Almost all of our tours start in Moscow, so you need to choose the arrival airport in Moscow: Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo or Vnukovo. If you fly to St. Petersburg, choose Pulkovo airport.

Anyway, the first days of our tours are not loaded with excursions and activities, but we recommend you to schedule your arrival in the morning or at lunchtime to unwind after your journey. 

Foreign cards (MasterCard, Visa, etc.) don’t operate in Russia, that's why you need only cash. You can exchange US dollars or EURos for rubles at the airport, banks, hotels or exchange offices.

We’ll help you with the exchange and provide you with the all necessary information and instructions.

Yes, we strongly recommend you to take care of health insurance, as it isn’t included into the tour price. We also advise you to take the necessary medications with you on the trip, depending on your health condition.

Despite the political rumors and stereotypes, Russians are very friendly and hospitable. You won’t be left without help if you need it, and will be welcomed with warmth and smile at every home.

It depends on your citizenship, for example, South African citizens don’t need a visa to travel to Russia for a tourist purpose, Chinese and Iranian citizens can come to Russia without a visa for up to 15 days.

If you need a visa, Russia has a system for issuing unified electronic tourist visas (e-visas) for foreign citizens. An electronic visa allows foreigners to obtain a single entry permit and stay in the Russian Federation for no more than 16 days.

You can make a trip within 2 months after receiving the visa.

If you need a visa to enter Russia, rest assured, we will definitely help you with it!

The payment for the tour should be made in full before the start of the trip (100% prepayment). We have offices in other countries, such as South Africa, which allows us to easily accept foreign payments.

What is included: accommodation in 4-5 star hotels, a full-day excursion program (including all locations and activities), transportation, entrance tickets, a certified guide, customer service support, hotel- breakfast. Other meal options can be included per your request. 

Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to buy a SIM card to a foreign citizen in Russia in one day, as this requires confirming your identity using biometrics. But in every hotel and restaurant you can easily connect to Wi-Fi.

And if you require mobile internet in our tours, we’ll make the necessary arrangements for you!

Any time of the year is suitable for travelling to Russia. Russia is the largest country in the world, covering 11 time zones and numerous climate zones. Here, you can find both endless frosts and green palm trees all year round.

Just contact us, and we’ll help you to choose the most exciting tour at any time of the year!   

The situation with foreign languages In Russia can vary depending on the region. In major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, many people, especially younger generations speak English quite well and most of the signs and information in tourist areas are available in English.

As well, all hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions have English speakers, so you can easily get help in case you need it.

However, outside of these big cities, English proficiency tends to decrease. In smaller towns and rural areas, you may meet people who speak little or no English. But no worries, our English (not only) speaking guides and dedicated office managers will always be at your disposal and ready to support you at any moment.
