Audley in Russia
Not so long ago the monolithic Soviet state controlled visitors from the moment of arrival to departure. With the freeing of the markets new, privately run enterprises have sprung up offering the attention to detail and first class customer service demanded by Audley clients. Whether visiting the palaces and galleries of St Petersburg or hiking by the shore of Lake Baikal we will choose the most appropriate means of transport to get you to your destinations in the maximum comfort and convenience, and provide expert guides to bring your experience to life.
The short summer months between May and July are the peak travel periods and destinations can be crowded and accommodation availability scarce. Timing your visits to avoid this period means lower prices and the chance to enjoy Russia’s magnificent cultural and scenic treasures in a more relaxed and civilised manner.
Getting Around
With regular scheduled flights linking the UK with Moscow and St Petersburg in less than four hours, getting to Russia is simplicity itself. Once on the ground we recommend a combination of comfortable private vehicles when exploring local areas, and the efficient rail network for longer journeys. For those heading out east the great Trans-Siberian railway can be undertaken in its entirety, or alternatively experienced in sections, with domestic flights used to cover the great distances quickly and efficiently.
