RUSSIA

Journey Through History, Culture, and Landscapes

Russia is a land of immense diversity, where ancient traditions meet modern cities and breathtaking natural wonders. The legendary Trans-Siberian Railway offers an unparalleled way to explore this vast country, connecting iconic destinations like Moscow, Irkutsk, and Ulan-Ude while passing through Siberia’s endless forests and mountains.

Moscow, the capital, is the heart of Russia’s history and culture. The Kremlin and Red Square, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, stand as symbols of the nation’s power and spirituality. Nearby, Kazan blends Russian and Tatar cultures at landmarks like the Kazan Kremlin and Qol Sharif Mosque, showcasing a unique fusion of Islamic and Orthodox influences.

In Siberia, Novosibirsk is a vibrant hub of culture and science with highlights like the Opera and Ballet Theatre and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Irkutsk, often called the “Paris of Siberia,” is a gateway to Lake Baikal. This UNESCO-listed lake is the world’s deepest freshwater body, surrounded by majestic mountains and home to unique wildlife. Ulan-Ude offers a fascinating blend of Russian and Buryat cultures, with its Buddhist temples and distinctive traditions.

The Trans-Siberian journey itself is an unforgettable highlight. Stretching over 9,000 kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok—or via the Trans-Mongolian route to Beijing—it offers ever-changing landscapes from taiga forests to open steppes. Stops along the way reveal Russia’s diverse cultural tapestry and natural beauty.

Whether exploring Moscow’s grand architecture, marvelling at Lake Baikal’s pristine waters, or experiencing life along the Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia offers a journey through history, culture, and awe-inspiring landscapes that leave a lasting impression.

The tour to Morocco was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, very complete and well organised, but still with room for "last minute requests" and Tânia still managed to add some good moments between the trips she discovered with the locals. Safe and always with good communication. An experience to repeat in another destination 🙂

Tiago, travel to Morocco

Awareness and sustainability

I went on the Morocco Express tour with Tânia, and it was five days of adventure and knowledge. Tânia invests in awareness and sustainability and makes sure we have very personal and unique experiences. One of the best tours I've been on and I'm going to do it again this year😁

Diogo, travel to Morocco

Realism and authenticity

4/5 day tour of Morocco. Group of 5 people, for an intense stay at a good pace! I appreciated the nuance for its realism, authenticity and adherence to the places. I would highlight the visit to Khamissa Argan, the lunch at @saidaberberhouse, the sunrise in the Agafay desert and the hike in Imlil, always in the presence of the majestic Jbel Toubkal, with a stop for tea with the family of the local mountain guide. Thank you Tânia!!!

From Nepal to Indochina

Traveling with Unusual Voyages was an indescribable experience! We met places, stories and people who touched us. Tânia, our leader, took care of every detail of the tour. Without her local knowledge, availability and patience, it wouldn't have been the same. More than memories, I remember the respect and care she taught us to have for each country's culture. Nepal was the first destination that surprised me so much, and now I'm heading to Indochina in April. I'm looking forward to another unusual voyage! Thank you Tânia ✨

"Fascinating!"

I travelled with Tânia through Indochina. It was a journey through very special places that only someone who has lived and travelled extensively in these countries can share. Getting to know the culture and having contact with the local people is fascinating! But better than words are deeds: try it!!!

"the best Storyteller I've ever met"

Travelling with Tânia means letting go and letting go of all the expectations we had about the tour. It's about enjoying and getting to know cultures and stories beyond your own. In addition to all the enthusiasm and companionship that Tânia has, you're sure to see beautiful places, cities and cultures. What's more, Tânia is the best Storyteller I've ever met.

"The best possible experience"

The tour was marvellous, both because of its ‘design’ and because of the leadership of TÂNIA NEVES, who proved to be a very competent, determined, proactive leader, attentive to every detail and continuously committed to guaranteeing the participants the best possible experience in every circumstance!
