Hi. I am looking for some information on travel to Russia. I would prefer to go with a reputable tour group, but don't know which ones are reputable. Just wondering if anyone can share any advice. Thanks!

For independent travel, I got my voucher 2 weeks ago from http://www.visatorussia.com , by fax and email, the next working day.

For organised tours, sorry can't help.

Hi.
Try this link http://www.sibrest.ru/english/FAQs.htm
And you question is not understandable. Russia is very large country. What region would you like to visit? Europe (Moscow, Tver, Vladimir)? Russian European North (St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk)? South Western Siberia? Eastern Siberia? Kamchatka? Steppes and mountains of Khakasia? And what do you want to do there: visit museums or talk with people during night on the kitchen? rolleyes.gif

Hi! It's very interesting. I've join your forums today and I've already receive first answer. Thanks!
Peacefrog, yes, I work there. Unfortunately I didn't see posts for people who want to teach English. Forums are big (or large, I don't know English very well) and I didn't have possibility to read it. If they want to teach English in Siberia - very good (or very well? smile.gif ) If you meet them, would you please inform them smile.gif . But I'll try to find these people.

This is "Nordway's" official site. This is reliable russian touroperator, working for many years.

I used a company called The Vodka Train to travel from St Petersburg through to Mongolia. I'd recomend them, especially since they simplified the whole tricky visa process.
