Central Asia
Enchanting Mongolian plains and endless Russian steppe weave with mountains, forests, meadows, lakes and towns as you roll from Ulaanbaatar to St Petersberg on the world's most epic train journey, the Trans Mongolian Railway. You can spend time, too, at Russia's Lake Baikal, the world's largest body of freshwater with its own unique species of seal, or go on Mongolian safari with yaks as your transport and gers your accommodation in true nomadic style. Further wander the majestic Gobi desert and Mongolian mountains or delve into the myriad other historical sites of The Stans – including Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Central Asia will astound from high steppe to skyscraper.

China Odyssey
David & Sylvia - United Kingdom, 4 Mar, 2012
We were unsure what to expect before we joined the trip, but came away really loving China. Once we got over the culture shock, we really enjoyed ourselves. The people and scenery were fantastic.
Beijing to Hong Kong Express
Kate - Australia, 31 Mar, 2012
Overall the tour was great but being a short trip and changing tour guides and groups was very disruptive. However, we had a great time and would book with Geckos again.
