This article is aimed to provide all the necessary information to organize your tour with the mythical Trans-Siberian and is based on my personal experience as a traveler and resident in Beijing.

If you have already decided that you want to travel on the mythical Transsiberian Railway but aren’t sure which travel agency to choose, we can put you in contact with a trustworthy agency. Click here to get budget for your Transsiberian Tour<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n It’s impossible to give an exact or even approximate number, because this depends greatly on the itinerary, lodging, the train class you choose and the freedom you have on visits. What I can tell you is that if you want to take a standard Transsiberian tour, don’t expect to pay less than 1,800 USD. Anything less than this is surely a scam<\/strong>. Obviously if you want the agency only to get the train tickets and the accommodation, the prices you can get would be much cheaper (about half).<\/p>\n To give you a clearer idea of prices, I have listed below the most popular itineraries and the approximate price for different types of tours.<\/p>\n Important: If you are thinking on traveling during the months of June and July of 2018, due to the World Cup, prices can be significantly increased.<\/p>\n In this section, you will find the price of the most popular tours for two people<\/strong>. The price includes all train tickets in third class (open compartments) or second class (four bed close compartments), standard accommodation (guest house or 3 star hotel) and for different types of tour: tour low cost (only includes trains and accommodation), basic tour (includes all transfers, some organized tours and accommodation).<\/p>\n Notice that prices shown here are approximate if you want to know the price for a full tour (including guided tours, entrance fees to attractions, diets, etc.) or customized you can contact us by clicking here<\/a> and a reliable agency will make you a budget adequate to your needs. <\/p>\n With this tour you will cross the whole Siberia from Moscow to the port city of Vladivostok. The total train travel time is a bit more than 5 days. In addition to being the actual Transsiberian route, the main advantage of this tour is that you only need to obtain one visa (the Russian one). The two most popular options are:<\/p>\n Moscow to Irkutsk <\/strong><\/p>\n Moscow to Vladivostok <\/strong><\/p>\n This is without a doubt the most popular route and, in my opinion, the best one to see the large contrast between European Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and China. The most common options are the following:<\/p>\n Moscow to Beijing<\/strong><\/p>\n St-Petersburg to Beijing<\/strong><\/p>\n Note: The cost of international flights is not included in the prices shown on this page.

In this case, you can read our complete Transsiberian guide<\/a>, where you will find all of the necessary information for your trip. If, on the other hand, you don’t mind spending a little more money to avoid any problems or unnecessary wastes of time, we recommend you take a tour.<\/p>\n Organizing a Transsiberian trip tour is no easy task; it requires good logistics and a very good knowledge of the routes and places which this mystical train passes by. Personally, I would recommend choosing a specialized agency rather than a large tour operator for the following reasons:<\/p>\n As I have said before, the Transsiberian Railway is a very particular trip, and many people may want to give up a bit of comfort to have a more authentic experience. Like, for example, by travelling in third class to be in contact with locals or by sleeping in the tents of Mongolian nomads (the only form of lodging possible in some parts of the country). A good agency has to be able to organize your tour to go along with your needs.<\/p>\n Choosing a good agency can be complicated. If you want us to recommend you a trustworthy travel agency, you can click here to send us a message<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Even though you can take the Transsiberian Railway any time of year, notice that Siberian and Mongolian winters are long and bitter (temperatures may reach -40\u00baC); also, trains may suffer delays due to heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n Even though Siberian winter may have its appeal, in my opinion, the best time is the period between May and September, because the days are long and the climate, except in China, is not excessively hot (it may even be cold at night, especially in Mongolia).<\/p>\nHow much does a Transsiberian trip cost?<\/h2>\n

Flexibility: Even though a good agency will offer you flexibility in your itinerary, once you have contracted them, they won’t allow for any changes (without a good reason). Travelling on your own will allow you to adapt your trip as you go along.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhat type of agency should you choose for the Transsiberian trip?<\/h2>\n
