New Zealand based Rally Tours NZ Ltd completed yet another successful Beijing to Paris “4x4 Self Drive Overland Expedition in August 2011, the 2nd of these amazing adventures that company owner and tour leader Greg Paul has offered to New Zealanders Our clients are generally semi retired couples looking for a unique experience visiting countries, cities and historical attractions only previously read about in history books, novels and National Geographic.

Rally Tour’s Beijing to Paris (now Vladivostok to London) and east-bound Silk Road overland journeys provide the opportunity to immerse into a variety of countries and cultures only recently accessible to Westerners. The concept of driving the challenging roads of these fascinating countries in the relative comfort of your own vehicle is unique. We select comfortable overnight accommodation and our experienced expedition leaders will ensure an experience of a lifetime is guaranteed.

Rally Tours will offer two departures for 2012 which will appeal to clients from NZ, Australia and the UK. The first is the Simply Classics Tour from Shanghai – London leaving in mid May and arriving in London 8 weeks later.

Departing in early July is our popular Trans-siberian 4WD expedition. Starting in Vladivostok and heading West, the tour will negotiate China’s Outer Mongolia region and then the exciting and vast Gobi Desert of Mongolia before we enter Siberia. It is an action packed 6000km drive to Moscow from here. St Petersburg, the heritage capital of the Russian empire is our last stop in Russia before travelling through Finland, Sweden, Denmark and then south to France before crossing to the UK from Calais.

The Silk Road adventure has been placed on hold until 2013 to allow a settling of the political situation in Iran and the earthquake damage in Eastern Turkey.
