I'm getting a bit confused about "way to russia",trying to get my journey together.
Moscow-Ulan Bator is 200$, Moscow-Irtrusk is 360$, although it is much nearer.
Moscow-Bejing direct I can get for as less as 200$, and if I do stop-overs at Baikal-lake and Ulan-Bator, I end up with 500$!!!

I cannot book any other place at baikal lake, and I cannot go with the "trans-mongolian" to Irtrusk.
Please help.

"Connect Mosow" is not reliable???
Did anybody have good experiences with SV??

Thanks 4 help!!

No doubt about it - Connect Russia (and probably Connect Moscow) is not reliable. Search here for history.

A few things:

1. The prices on WayToRussia are outdated. We'll try to get them updated as soon as possible but at the moment they are considerably lower than the real fares.

2. It costs more to make stopovers than to travel directly. Though I have no idea why the ticket to Irkutsk is more expensive than the ticket to Ulan-Bataar...

3. Connect Russia (InterGroup) are working well at the moment. Of course, you should take into account the bad experiences people have had with them. But when they're working well there is no better agency. Svezhy Veter are always excellent.
