TESTIMONIALS

Just back from a group trip to Mongolia and Russia, spending more than a week on the Trans Mongolian/Siberian railway, starting in Moscow, stopping at Lake Baikal, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk and finishing in Ulaan Baatar. What an experience ! It is really hard to explain what we have experienced to anyone who hasn't traveled on this train. The scenery was stunning and it was had to realise just how vast Russia. Moscow was just great but the highlight was the journey on the train with all the remarkable placed we visited on the way. At Lake Baikal, there was a chance to swim in rather cold water, followed by a warming shot of vodka. In Ulan Ude we were treated to a folk music concert with was amazing.

My husband and I wanted to say thank you to East West tours and in particular Dora for organising our Trans Siberian trip from UlanBator to Moscow. Everything was perfect. The people who work for this company are top notch! Our guides in Moscow and Ulanbator made the sightseeing absolutely fantastic. The train was comfortable, with big windows to enjoy the landscapes. We enjoyed every stop where buses and guides were waiting for us. All was well prepared to show is the best of the places. Lake Baikal was definitely Pearl of Siberia with fantastic scenery and fresh water. In Irkutsk we enjoyed very special traditional Russian dishes. Time spent on board was not boring at all with lots of activites and plenty of food for our choices.
