Are you impatient to get on a tour to North Korea?

Are you impatient to get on a tour to North Korea? To tide you over until we can all travel back out there again, our guides are putting together a virtual tour, where we will upload photos and videos to our story in real time, so you can get a taste of a typical budget tour to North Korea, a ‘try before you buy’... so to speak. This photo was taken January 1st 2020 by our guide @sihaywood on one of our last tours out to the country before everything locked down.

We're eagerly counting down the days until we can

We're eagerly counting down the days until we can return to running our unrivalled tours to the breakaway state of Transnistria. A place where Lenin still stands and one which has been branded as one of the last corners of the Soviet Union. Stay tuned for our return to this magical and surreal place!

One of our Soviet Europe team just discovered this

One of our Soviet Europe team just discovered this communist relic on a evening walk in Bulgaria. It's dedicated to revolutionaries who escaped trial in the kingdom of Bulgaria. After sailing a boat to Odessa, they made it to the Soviet Union. They would return over twenty years later when the kingdom of Bulgaria fell to communism. An interesting piece of history. 🇧🇬

A photo we captured on one of our Belarus tours. This is a Soviet era department store that is still very popular with locals, and YPT travellers, alike. The cognac coffee with cinnamon is a must try and a great accompaniment to checking out the mass of Soviet artwork inside! 🇧🇾
