Overview

This epic overland tour begins in enigmatic Russia where you can delve into the country's turbulent political past. Enjoy the rich history of the romantic Baltic States and absorb the magical atmosphere of eastern European castles and cathedrals. You'll adore the mosques and minarets of the Middle East and be awestruck by the towering mountains and relaxing costal resorts, not forgetting the remarkable Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza. All this combined with the warmth of the local people will make this an adventure to remember.

This is an Adventure Tour. Learn about our Travel Styles.
