Twenty years of travel beyond the ordinary

This month we celebrate two decades of innovative and cutting edge travel and we are delighted that over the years our ethos of providing high levels of service, backed up by a highly experienced and well travelled team of staff, remains the same.

In the early nineties we pioneered travel into several countries which, today, we take for granted. We were, and still are known for Central Asia and Russia, while some of our firsts include travel to areas of the Middle East, often to countries where no other tour operator had ventured - including Iran, Yemen and Oman.

Today we continue to create classic cultural tours to less frequently visited countries and our staff have revisited Ethiopia, and Kamchatka.

Last week saw the launch of our NEW Steppes Travel website, please take a look. We value your feedback and and hope it will inspire you for future journeys.

We also look forward to a further 20 years of pioneering travel beyond the ordinary .
