Trans-Siberian Railway

transsiberian

Talk to any traveller worth anything, and the Trans-Siberian/Mongolian railway is either something they have done, or something very much on their to-do list. An iconic travel adventure that is not only the best train journey on earth, but arguably one of the best of any trips possible. Every November YPT arrange our Eurasian Adventure Tour, but aside from that we are now pleased to announce our ability to offer tickets originating in both Moscow or China for this epic adventure. You can join our group tour on the Trans-Siberian/Mongolian or go solo and let us take care of all the paperwork and hard work for you.

Our prices are some of the cheapest available as we have offices both in Eastern Europe and in Beijing, and we charge a very small service fee. Prices are fully inclusive, and if beginning the trip in Beijing, the tickets will be hand delivered to you in Beijing with an information pack on taking the train, with our YPT delivery guide being happy to answer any questions you might have about the trip. If beginning in Moscow, your tickets will be emailed to you with an attached information pack.

If you require Russian Visa Support information, a letter of invitation or have further questions, please contact us.
