ABOUT US
Helping travellers discover the real Russia with confidence.
Exploring Russia is an independent travel guide and travel assistance platform created by people who know Russia inside out. We combine local expertise with practical travel services to help international visitors plan unforgettable journeys across the world's largest country.
But we're not just travel professionals—we're passionate travellers ourselves. Our team has explored dozens of countries around the world and visited many of Russia's most fascinating regions. We believe the best travel advice comes from first-hand experience, which is why our recommendations are based on places we've visited, routes we've travelled, and experiences we've genuinely enjoyed.
Whether you're dreaming of Moscow and Saint Petersburg, the frozen beauty of Lake Baikal, the Altai Mountains, or the Arctic coast, we're here to make planning your trip simple, reliable, and enjoyable.
