Private and escorted tours of Russia and beyond

Exeter International is a specialist tour operator offering bespoke travel and escorted tours of Russia and Eastern Europe. With offices in London, Moscow, St Petersburg and Kiev, we use our knowledge and expertise to create unique travel experiences tailor-made to individual clients.

What sets us apart from other companies offering tours of Russia and Eastern Europe is our intimate knowledge of the region, and our determination to be the best. We go to great lengths to match clients to the hotels and guides we believe will provide them with the ultimate travel experience.

Employing our extensive local contacts, we work tirelessly to exceed the expectations of our clients. Thats why our guided tours and private tours have been recommended by The Daily Telegraph, Tatler, the Financial Times, the Observer and The Sunday Times Travel Magazine and - most recently - The Times. 

Save 20% on a White Nights City Break. We also have some excellent value luxury Moscow city breaks, valid for all weekends throughout 2009.

We offer a unique menu of Extraordinary Experiences that includes:

• Private backstage tours of the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg.
• A behind-the-scenes tour of the Kremlin in Moscow that was named among the 50 Trips of a Lifetime by Conde Nast Traveller magazine.
• VIP access to the Strahov Monastery in Prague.
• A private curators tour of the Mestrovic Gallery in Split, Croatia.
• Privileged access to the storage rooms of the Hermitage in St Petersburg.

As well as private travel, we also offer guided tours of Russia and destinations across Eastern Europe. We are experts in travel to Romania and Ukraine, and can arrange bespoke tours of Croatia, staying at charming boutique hotels off the mainstream tourist map.

We are specialists in Russian river cruises and the Trans-Siberian Express, and can arrange exciting and innovative city breaks in Moscow and St Petersburg, staying at the finest hotels.

We are passionate about Russia and Eastern Europe, but we understand that independent travel there can be challenging. Guide books are out of date even before they are published, and it's not so much a case of what you know, as who you know, echoed here by Chris & Shirley Lucas who travelled with us to St Petersburg in May 2009 -

'Without doubt our trip would not have been so enjoyable or informative had we gone it alone and not used your services. Our guide was absolutely fantastic which added a huge amount of value to our trip. Your recommended schedule was perfect for us, as was the list of restaurants that we tried to work our way through'.

At Exeter International, we enjoy smashing the myths and stereotypes that surround Russia and the East. When our clients return home we often ask them, "Was it what you expected?" Nobody has yet answered yes.
