Lupine Travel

WaltKowalski

I'm thinking of booking a trip through Lupine Travel, a UK Tour Company, who seem to offer relatively cost efficient tours.
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience of dealing with them?
Any positive/negative feedback will be appreciated.

Thank you.

First thing I thought when I saw the thread title was that you wanted to get some wolves for a sled team!

I wish I was that adventurous!!
It's a bit of strange name for a travel company alright. Their logo is a globe but instead of the continents there's the silhouette of a wolf.

Hi WaltKowalski,

I have just put a deposit down on the Transiberian Trip.(going in Sept - cant wait!)

I have to say I found them very helpful and knowledgeable.

They advised me on all aspects of my trip, from flights info to visa info, and gave me numerous itineraries until i found the right one...nothing was too much trouble.

I did google them before, as I was a bit sceptical myself as I had never heard of them. I did find a thread on another forum (dont know if I can type it here, so pm if you would like a link), where the person who seems to own/work there works..

Where are you thinking of going?

Hi all,

My friend and I have booked our tour with Lupine Travel to do the trans-Mongolia trip starting in Moscow early September. I also had trouble finding any reviews about this tour company so am still abit sceptical, Dylan (CEO) has been very helpful but can not help but still be sceptical. So if anyone has further infomation about Lupine travel that would be great.

Hi there,

Just a quick message to see if you guys booked up with that company and if everything went well??

Im thinking of booking up over the next few weeks to North Korea but unsure of the company. pretty much the same as you guys were.

Thanks in advance

Sorry - I can't give any feedback.
My plans were drastically halted.
I've barely left my home county since I posted my query - nevermind the country!

Sorry to hear that - hope all is well with you now.

Is there anybody else who can give me some feedback?

Thanks,

Hi muppix

We booked with Lupine for our trip last year. We had a great experience doing the Transmongolian – and it was made much easier with it all sorted out before you go.

The we dealt with was Dylan. He was very helpful and informative and had no problem with any questions we had. He also got in contact with me after we came home to see how we got on and if we had any comments to make. This to me was a very good indication of the company you deal with.

And the price was great for what we did. They can tailor make your holiday for you - i.e. if you want to stay longer in certain places.

We went from Moscow to Beijing because we wanted to stay longer in China and felt the end of our holiday would have been better suited. But as I said, it just depends on what you want – they can tailor make it for you.

Any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask! We had a great time and would definitely recommend Lupine Travel.

Ive booked up with Korea Konsult for the september trip (mass games)

Not cheap, but heard some good info on them on other boards.

5 nights (plane in, train out from Beijing) and plenty of tourist spots for 1150 euro
