Vodkatrain takes the traditional ideas of group travel (regimented meal times, enforced sightseeing and following strange people holding umbrellas aloft) and gives them a hearty kick up the backside. Think of it as a collection of young, like-minded individuals who happen to be following the same itinerary.

Vodkatrain is your support network - providing accommodation, transport, transfers en-route and local Honchos to help you get the most our of your stay. You decide what you want to see, you decide what you want to eat, you decide what you want to experience and you pay the much cheaper local price for everything you do.
