Featured journeys

Siberian Snowscapes

Nothing is quite as evocative of Russia as scenes of glittering snow and silent birch forests as the Trans Siberian train slides across the country. Wrap up warm as your inner Doctor Zhivago takes you on this winter adventure, celebrating this festive time of the year to the sound of sleigh bells.

Christmas Trans Mongolian

Experience a Russian Christmas in a Siberian village and New Year’s Eve in Moscow’s Red Square. Along the way, you can enjoy a traditional troika ride led by three horses, and stay in a Mongolian ger camp surrounded by snow. What more could you wish for this Christmas?

Festive Russia

Experience the frosty and festive delights of Russia in winter and visit the home of Father Frost, Ded Moroz, in remote and picturesque Veliky Ustyug, a true winter wonderland experience. Coincide your visit with either Western or Orthodox Christmas and you may even receive a gift.

We had an absolute ball with the whole experience far exceeding our expectations. The itinerary was a masterful blend of contrasting cultures, superbly arranged and executed.

My journey was a stress-free pleasure from start to finish because of the meticulous attention to detail that Sundowners Overland staff adhere to.

A wonderful tour with excellent service from the operators. We had a great tour leader and really good local guides. Don't think about it anymore. Go. You'll not regret it!

During April 2018, my wife and I travelled with Sundowners. Our 'Dream Holiday' far exceeded our expectations due to the detailed and meticulous work of Sundowners.
Peter Maddocks, United Kingdom

Our journey across Russia was fabulous, thanks to Sundowners organisation and their terrific staff. Everything worked like clockwork - transfers, hotel choices, local ambassadors, their knowledge and friendliness was greatly appreciated. We would certainly recommend this as one of the greatest train journeys we have experienced. It was amazing crossing the country by train, the scenery beautiful - there's nothing more wonderful and relaxing than watching it slide by with a vodka in your hand!
