DHCS Kicks Off Mobile Dental Van Tour

Smile, California campaign encourages families to establish good oral health habits early and take advantage of Medi-Cal dental benefits.

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) today kicked off its second mobile dental van tour in Fresno. Through the Smile California campaign, DHCS delivers preventive dental services to children and youth, enhancing utilization of essential dental care and improving oral health, particularly for underserved groups .

“Medi-Cal Dental is committed to ensuring that millions of Californians have access to the dental care they need to keep their teeth and gums healthy and strong,” said Adrianna Alcala-Beshara, Chief of DHCS’ Medi-Cal Dental Division . “We encourage Medi-Cal members to use their dental benefits to maintain oral health and overall well-being.”

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: The Smile, California tour is partnering with the California Department of Public Health, local Medi-Cal dental providers, and community organizations to promote preventive dental services to children and youth living in areas throughout California with limited access to dental care.

According to a statewide assessment of tooth decay, by the third grade, six in ten children in California have experienced tooth decay, and one in five children have untreated tooth decay. But there is encouraging news: tooth decay is largely preventable. Prevention begins with good oral care habits that must include regular visits to the dentist.

With regular dental visits, problems can be detected early and are usually easier to fix. Preventive treatments, such as sealants, are quick and painless and can protect children's teeth from cavities by up to 80 percent .

MEDI-CAL DENTAL SERVICES: With Medi-Cal, preventive dental services are covered at no cost. All members under age 21 are eligible for a dental check-up twice a year, sometimes even more, and all Medi-Cal members 21 and older are eligible to receive a check-up once a year. Other services may include cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, fillings, and crowns.

ABOUT THE TOUR: In addition to Fresno, the mobile dental van will make stops in Pixley (April 5), Hollister (April 11), Avenal (April 12), and Huntington Park (May 4). Services performed onsite will include exams, x-rays, cleaning, and fluoride applications. Please visit the Smile, California website for event details.

“Promotional efforts like this mobile van tour play a vital role in educating Medi-Cal members, parents, caregivers, and children about the importance of protecting the oral health of children and youth. Prevention goes beyond maintaining healthy dental care habits at home; it's imperative for children and youth to have dental check-ups once every six months,” said Paula Lee, Policy Lead and School Dental Program Coordinator for the California Department of Public Health’s Office of Oral Health, which partners with DHCS to educate Medi-Cal members about the importance of oral health.

Apply for Medi-Cal coverage today to receive preventive dental:

• Online through Covered California - https://www.coveredca.com/
• In person at a local county office
• Via mail by filling out the single streamlined paper application (available in 11 languages) and sending it to the local county office .

LEARN MORE: Medi-Cal members, medical providers, dental providers, and community-based organizations can learn more about Medi-Cal dental services by visiting the Smile, California website, in English at SmileCalifornia.org or in Spanish at SonrieCalifornia.org .

10 Best Van Tours We’ve EVER Filmed!

Van conversion guide.

last updated: Feb 24, 2022

In the last few years we have filmed a LOT of van tours .

Each one offering unique design choices that have helped other van converters feel inspired for their own builds.

But with so many videos on offer, knowing where to start can feel daunting.

That’s why we decided it was time to put together this ultimate list of the best van tours we have so far come across.

There should be something for eveyone below, featuring ideal vans for families, couples, adventure travelers, surfers, bikers …

Absolutely everything!

So let’s get started with our first pick …

1. The Ultimate Family Van Tour

Kicking off this list of the 10 best van tours we have ever filmed is this ultra family-friendly van conversion named “Everest”. 

Everest truly is a van conversion that has family adventure written all over it.

Not only does it have the capacity to safely seat six people with seatbelts, but it also has the capacity to sleep them! 

In this van conversion, there are 4 seatbelted seats across from the door to the van, directly behind the two front seats. 

These seats have a fold-down table in between them, so this seating area doubles as a workspace, living room, or area to simply gather together and enjoy some family time.

As a unique bonus, from this seated area, there is even access to a stereo system to control music from the back of the van!

When it’s time for bed, these four seats and table transform into a double bed to sleep on. 

Behind the seats is the highlight of this van tour- a set of three platform bunk beds built into the van! 

Each bunk bed is private and cozy, with its own reading light, privacy curtain, and storage pouch. There is also a ladder built into the bunks for easy access to the top bunk.

Across from the beds is this van’s kitchen.

The kitchen is simple yet incredibly functional.

It is equipped with a sink, stove, fridge, and plenty of storage and counter space. 

Next to the sink and across from the bunk beds is this van conversion’s private bathroom . The bathroom is equipped with a toilet, and having it inside the van makes traveling in a van with kids that much more simple! 

2. The Best Self-Build Van Conversion

This elegant yet functional van is easily one of the best van tours we’ve ever filmed. 

The floorplan of this design is also one of our 10 best campervan floor plans for you to steal!

It was designed and built in just six months by a particularly talented solo female artist. 

The design of the van has a few nautical elements to it, including a raised floor running throughout the entirety of the van for extra storage. 

Having a raised floor was made possible due to the van’s extra high roof. With the extra-high roof, there is still plenty of headspace in the van, even with the raised floor.

Additionally, this van is complete with a kitchen, as well as a walk-in shower with a toilet. 

The shower is quite lovely, with a black paint that makes the walls look as if they were made of stone.

One of the most incredible features in the shower is a hand shaped oval window.

The oval window is a seemingly simple detail, which in reality, took lots of work, skill, and precision to get just right.

Beautiful artwork throughout the van is what really makes this conversion special. 

Not only are the walls covered in beautiful prints, but also more unique pieces of artwork- from a hexagonal tile backsplash to the rope lining the walls and serving as handles for all of the doors and cabinets. 

This van also has a large garage under its fixed double bed, with plenty of room to house the water tanks, as well as full-length surfboards! 

3. Solo Female Van Life

This vanlife tour features a lovely and functional van conversion, designed for a solo female living and traveling on the road!

The van has a fully equipped kitchen with a farmhouse-style sink, 2 burner stovetop, and refrigerator. 

There is plenty of counter space and room for food storage- there is even a Berkey water filter on the counter!

The numerous windows and lights in this van give it a light and airy feel- which is amplified by the white paint of the interior.

There is a sliding door with a full-length mirror on it that provides access to the cab of the van- a great feature for convenience, comfort, and safety.

Across from the kitchen is a large storage cabinet, with large sliding drawers that houses a composting toilet underneath it.

Across from the cabinet is a bench seat. 

Directly in front of the bench seat, there is a sliding table that slides out from under the bed to serve as a workspace/ living room area in the van.

The van has a fixed double bed that runs widthwise in the van- which allows for the van to feel even more spacious.

4. Van Conversion with Home Cinema

This LWB Sprinter van conversion is utterly incredible.

One of the highlights of this van conversion is its large, L-shaped kitchen. With ample counter space, it also has a beautiful mini Belfast sink, along with an impressively large four burner stove top.

The kitchen also is equipped with loads of overhead storage cabinets, and chic little shelves for spices, coffee, and even cookbooks!

Plus, a beautiful green tile backsplash gives this van’s kitchen an extra unique look.

Another of this van’s incredible and unique features is its in-home cinema! A projector screen rolls down from above the kitchen for awesome movie viewing from the bed or this van’s seating area. 

The projector screen they use for this is a Viewsonic Mini Travel Projector .

This van’s living room area consists of two bench seats at the foot of the bed, with a slide-out table between them.

This area contains sufficient seating space for three people to sit around the table.

The bed in this van is a fixed double raised platform bed. 

There is more overhead storage above the bed, as well as a full bookshelf and plenty of plants. 

Having a fixed platform bed like this allows this van conversion to have a large garage underneath for storage, and to hold their unique shower system- a Camplux instant hot water tankless shower ! 

5. Incredible Bohemian Van Tour

This camper van conversion is one of the most beautiful vans I’ve ever toured! In fact, it’s also on our list of the best campervan interiors .

This campervan conversion features another large and beautiful L-shaped kitchen. 

It has plenty of counter space, in addition to a 2 burner stovetop, sink, green waste compartment, fridge, and even an oven! 

Having a proper oven in a campervan is quite the luxury. It makes it incredibly easy to warm up meals, and in the winter time, using the oven will also warm up your entire campervan’s interior!

What really makes this kitchen unique is the decor. 

The kitchen is beautifully decorated, complete with a brass kitchen backsplash, plants, and lovely pieces of artwork. 

Above the kitchen is an access hatch to the cab.

While closing off the cab of a campervan often provides more space for the van conversion, having access to the cab is an important safety feature, as well as a comfort feature in poor weather. 

Closing off the cab but leaving a door for access like she did in this van conversion is a great way to have the best of both worlds! 

Another incredible feature in this van tour is the home office setup. 

Utilizing two bench seats and a Lagun swivel table , this van conversion is fully equipped to work remotely on the road.

When not in use as a workspace, the table flips down and combines with the bench seat to form a large bed in the back of the van.

This van tour really demonstrates how decorative touches can make a van conversion truly incredible- and needless to say, we are thoroughly impressed. 

6. The Luxury Van Tour

Vanlife meets luxury with this next van on the list. Which once again opted for the Sprinter as the base vehicle, probably the most common van used for a conversion .

This beautiful Sprinter Van conversion is chock full of lovely details and features that make this van conversion unique.

Walking into this van conversion, the first thing you see is a vanity-style sink against the cab, directly adjacent to the shower.

The vanity area is quite beautiful, and features a sink with brass taps, and a faux marble countertop.

There is also a lovely print above the vanity. Hidden behind the print is a stealthy access point between the cab and the back of the van! 

This van also has a large bathroom accompanied with a shower and portapotty. To match the theme of the rest of the van, the shower has a brass faucet.

For an extra unique look, the shower is painted to look as if it were made of concrete!

I particularly like how they incorporated a window into the shower to provide more natural lighting inside the shower.

This van conversion’s kitchen is incredible. The kitchen also has a faux marble countertop to match the vanity, as well as a pink tile backsplash for a pop of color. 

In addition to a stove, oven, and fridge/freezer combo, this van’s kitchen is also equipped with an actual espresso machine and blender! How’s that for breakfast on the road?

The living room area in this van conversion fits snugly against the fixed double bed. 

It consists of a table and two bench seats conveniently located right in front of a window. To take advantage of the space, there is additional storage available underneath the bench seats. 

The fixed double bed is a raised platform style bed, which also happens to be one of our favorite campervan bed ideas ! 

With this setup, there is room for a large garage underneath with plenty of room to house their entire electrical unit and more!

7. The Extra-Spacious Van Tour

This van conversion features a Mercedes Vario that has been transformed into an incredible home on wheels.

They have adopted some really unique conversion ideas into their build. I love how open, light, and airy this van feels- they really make the most of the space in this van. The hanging surfboard storage is also a nice touch!

The back of the van has a fixed king bed. Above it is a projector for cozy van movie nights!

The bed is also surrounded by windows, so you can enjoy beautiful views from the bed of the surrounding environment.

There are also curtains and blackout screens for when you want the van to be dark and private.

There is a very large seating area at the foot of the bed. It consists of two bench seats and a slideout table.

One of the bench seats is quite large, and flattens into a guest bed!

The kitchen in this van is very big, and has all of the amenities.

I particularly like how they left one of the kitchen cabinets open to display all of their different spices and cooking supplies!

The use of a gray tile backsplash is also a nice decorative touch in this van conversion.

Next to the kitchen, is a large walk-in bathroom, complete with a toilet, shower, and ample shelf space for soaps and other shower necessities.

The cab of the van is open to the back, and includes a handy built-in shelf for storing drinks and other items while on the road.

8. High Comfort Van Tour

This van conversion allows for scenic drives all while in an incredibly comfortable van. 

This van is packed with great features, as well as a clean and classy look.

With a large sink, induction cooktop, and massive chest-style refrigerator/freezer combo, this van conversion’s kitchen is fully loaded. 

Above the kitchen counter is a long window, complete with a blackout screen, and three locks for safety. 

There is also plenty of overhead storage located in the cabinets above the kitchen, and the drawers underneath!

One of the most unique features in this campervan conversion is its shower setup. 

In order to maintain a completely open camper layout , the shower in this van is hidden in plain sight.

To access the shower, a section of the kitchen counter folds up to reveal a shower pan, and the cabinets above the countertop open to reveal shower curtains and a showerhead. 

When building this van conversion , they were looking for a way that allowed privacy when in the shower, without the loss of space that usually comes from building in a separate shower room. 

The living room area of the van rests at the foot of the bed with two adjacent bench seats. In between the bench seats is a table that slides out from under the bed. 

Having a separate living room space and a fixed bed is quite nice in a shared campervan, as it allows for one person to be using the living room space while the other is in bed- something that is not a possibility with other bed setups. 

The bed itself is a fixed platform bed, with his and hers overhead storage cabinets. 

I particularly like the use of netting under the storage cabinets for a little extra storage. 

There is a large garage underneath the van with ample space for the van’s electric system, water tanks, and more. 

Everything in this van can be powered off of the van’s whopping 720 watts of solar- that’s right, this van can even get off-grid.

9. Off-Grid Van Tour

This adventure van is rearing and ready to go on a national parks road trip. 

It’s a Ford Transit 148 Wheelbase, and the van’s outer features are just as cool as its interior conversion. 

This van is equipped with a massive awning to relax under, as well as intensely bright LEDs that are just perfect for rolling up to campsites late at night.

The interior of the van is impressively well-equipped for a 148 wheelbase- this van also happens to be one of the best Ford Transit van conversions !

Not only does it have two working spaces, but also a fixed double bed, 8-foot long countertop, and full shower! 

The cab of the van is left open in this conversion, and the two front seats are on swivels that turn around and meet with swivel tables to serve as a place to eat, or a workspace. 

There is also an additional bench seat that folds flat up against the van when not in use.

Across from this van’s kitchen is more storage, and a separate shower complete with a Nature’s Head Composting Toilet .

The fixed platform bed fits widthwise in this van, and even has a little bookshelf and even a shoot for dirty laundry underneath the bed! 

Having the fixed bed fit widthwise saves a ton of space in the van, and is one of the reasons why this campervan conversion is able to have so many awesome features.

There is even a TV above the bed that can rotate to be watched from both in bed, and from the front seating area of the van.

It’s incredible how this campervan has so many impressive features jammed into its 148 wheelbase, and yet still doesn’t feel cramped! 

10. The Insane Off-Road Van Conversion

Here we have another one of the best off-road Sprinter van tours – a LWB Sprinter Van named Bruce Banner.

Bruce Banner started off as a white, 2wd Cargo van- and has since been transformed into a green machine, and the ultimate off-roading vehicle.

On the exterior, this van has a Linex coat of green and black paint that protects it from scratches.

The van is equipped with very powerful LEDs, as well as a snorkel and upgraded tires for off-roading.

The roof of the van houses a huge solar panel with 375 watts of power, as well as extra gear storage.

The interior of this van is equally packed with incredible features.

The kitchen is complete with a stainless steel sink, extra large fridge, induction cooktop, and separate freezer! 

The shower is also stainless steel, and is complete with a Dometic Toilet .

Long overhead storage cabinets run lengthwise down the van, lined with LEDs for lighting.

In the front of the van, the seats are on swivels to create a workstation/ living room area to use along with a Lagun swivel table , and custom upholstered bench seat.

With so many incredible features packed both inside this van conversion and on its exterior, this is without a doubt one of the best van tours we have ever filmed!

Final Thoughts

As you’ve seen, each of these vans is unique and special, and suits a different type of van lifer.

From the incredible family adventure van Everest, to the Bruce Banner adventure van- these van conversions are seriously awesome.

I hope you walk away from this list feeling impressed, inspired, and perhaps even ready to embark on your own campervan conversion journey – I know I sure did!

The Best Camper Vans For On & Off-Road Exploration

While RVs and camper and conversion vans have been popular since the late ‘70s, it wasn’t until much more recently that the off-road adventure van space began taking off, with this once-niche segment seeing an enormous influx of interest in just the last half-decade alone. Unsurprisingly, the ever-increasing popularity of this space has given way to a growing number of ever-more-capable and increasingly-well-appointed go-anywhere turnkey camper rigs — the latest and greatest of which we’ll be counting down today in this guide to the best camper vans for an adventurous #vanlife on and off the road.

What Exactly Is An Adventure Van?

As you may have guessed from the name, an adventure camper van is a type of full-size van that’s been converted into a go-anywhere mobile dwelling that offers the amenities and appointments of an RV while boasting a footprint that allows it to tackle the same type of off-grid terrain as your average 4×4 SUV . As such, pretty much every adventure van on the market features a suspension lift kit and off-road wheels and tires that make the vehicle markedly more competent in the dirt. It’s also not uncommon to see these machines fitted with other elements commonly found on off-roaders such as auxiliary lighting, skid plates, crash bars and custom bumpers, rock sliders, jerry cans, recovery boards, and winches. In a similar vein, some camper vans have also been bestowed with exterior racks or sometimes even interior spaces to house other smaller vehicles like mountain bikes, kayaks, dirt bikes, and dual sports. 

While there are some pretty obvious exterior visual differences between regular camper vans and adventure camper vans, the inside of these off-roaders are often nearly identical to their road-going counterparts — save for the addition of more rugged flooring or upholstery. Like regular camper vans, adventure vans come loaded with kitchens, beds, cabinets and other storage space, and sometimes even bathrooms. It’s also not uncommon to see some adventure vans equipped with awnings and pop-up roofs. In general, adventure vans are built with a focus on catering to individuals with outdoor-centric lifestyles, with the upgrades and components needed to travel deep into nature, and to offer a great many of the comforts of home once arriving. As a result, adventure vans do sometimes feature larger fuel cells, water tanks, and other onboard systems that allow them to remain off-grid for longer periods without needing to return to civilization. 

An Off-Road-Capable Home On Wheels

What Are The Main Factors I Should Consider When Buying An Adventure Camper Van?

As both homes and vehicles, there’s no shortage of areas one can take into account when shopping for an off-road camper. Knowing this, we’ve saved you some trouble by highlighting the most pivotal aspects to consider when buying.

Platform & Base Vehicle: Though they will admittedly be a far cry from their former selves by the time they’re purchased as turnkey off-road adventure vans, the make and model vehicle platform that each camper is built atop will play a major role in the overall user experience, as this area not only will largely determine performance characteristics (and a good deal of its performance capabilities), but it will also play a major role in factors like maintenance, mileage, and other areas that hugely impact the day-to-day ownership experience. Unsurprisingly, many of today’s most popular box and panel vans are utilized as platforms for turnkey adventure rigs. 

Powertrain: An adventure van’s powertrain is almost always dependent on the unit found in the stock donor platforms though it’s nonetheless a crucial area to review when shopping. You’ll want to explore the type of engine, its layout, its displacement, and number of cylinders. Additionally, you’ll also want to look into areas such as service intervals and mileage, as well as how easy a van’s powertrain is to access and service — at least if you plan on wrenching on the thing yourself. 

Power: Another area that’s important to focus on when looking at an adventure van’s powertrain is its horsepower and torque figures, as this will play a direct role in the vehicle’s performance capabilities — both on-road and off. What’s more, these figures will also play a key role in the rig’s payload and towing ratings, which are also of major importance when shopping. 

Power Delivery: An adventure van can make thousands of horsepower but it means nothing if the engine’s power can’t be transmitted to the ground — a factor that makes power deliver another monumentally important area to review. Just like with regular SUVs or pickups, adventure van models that have AWD and 4WD setups will pretty much always outperform their 2WD competitors when off-road.

Amenities & Creature Comforts: Unlike your average commuter car that’s made to take its passengers from point-A to point-B, adventure vans are built to ferry their occupants from point-A to point-B, and then serve as their home and base camp once arriving. As such, these roving dwellings almost always come appointed with beds, removable tables or nooks, and additional seating. And, while more often than not these models feature kitchens, how well appointed these kitchens are can massively vary — making this another important area to review when shopping. Additionally, some adventure vans also feature yacht-style heads with cassette toilets and wet showers. 

Storage Space & Organization: Considering that these vehicles need to accommodate everything you need to live while off-grid, having solid storage and organizational features are an absolute must — making this yet another pivotal area to explore when shopping. This means looking into not only interior storage and organizational elements such as drawers and cabinets, but also exterior storage elements like roof racks or generator bays. 

Modularity: Depending on if you want to work, lounge, cook, or sleep, you may want to have your camper set up differently, which is why having a modular interior design is also a great idea for campers. A camper’s level of modularity can and will vary pretty greatly from model to model, though this element ins particularly important with smaller models. 

Sleeping Accommodations: On top of an adventure van’s ability to house gear, it’s also vital that you look into the number of people that it can comfortably accommodate. This just means reviewing the number of available beds on any given model, though it is important to point out that most models feature main beds supplemented via dinettes, benches, and other elements that can fold or convert into a sleeping area .

Plumbing: On top of a camper’s kitchen, you’ll also want to explore elements from its plumbing system such as its sink, water tanks (both freehand gray water), and, if applicable, shower and toilet. 

Weather & Climate: Most adventure vans are well insulated and are equipped with heaters and AC units that allow them brave some pretty extreme temperatures. With that said, it’s always best to check on the type of weather conditions any model is made for before embarking into nature. It’s also worth mentioning that most adventure campers can have their AC and heating systems upgraded, and can also have better insulation and better-insulating windows installed as we’ll. 

Expandability and Roof Type: A fantastic way to save space when not needed is to opt for an adventure camper with a pop-up roof , as this will provide ample headspace without raising the vehicle’s center of gravity. 

Go-Anywhere Abilities: A major difference between regular camper vans and adventure camper vans is the latter’s ability to go where the former can’t. This is thanks to adventure camper van’s off-road capabilities. When reviewing this area, you’ll want to pay attention to each model’s ground clearance, suspension, travel, and approach, break-over, and departure angles, just to name a few. 

Off-Road Upgrades: And, while these items can always been purchased from aftermarket companies, it’s still worth exploring what off-road elements and upgrades come standard on an adventure camper such as steel bumpers, skid plates, roof racks, spare tires, auxiliary lighting, winches, and so on. 

Why It Made The Cut

• An incredibly, massively-upgraded, go-anywhere adventure van that’s being sold for under six-figures, out the door.

Best Affordable Camper Van: While the Mercedes Sprinter platform is undeniably the most popular platform in this space, those seeking the greats possible bang for their buck are likely to opt for Ford’s tried and true E350 Cargo Van — as evidenced by Sportmobile’s Classic 4×4 model. Starting from under $90,000, this immensely capable model boasts Fox 2.0 Performance Series Shocks, an Advance Adapter Atlas II All Gear Driven Transfer Case, a Dynatrac Pro-Roc 60 Front Axle, a Dana 60 Rear Axle, and a slew of other hardcore off-roading bits. Powering the adventure camper is a massive 7.3-liter V-8 that afford their a 10,000-pound towing capacity. Other highlights include a pop-up roof, a modular interior, a cool 16.5”of ground clearance, 22” of travel, and approach and departure angles of 44° and 32°.

Platform: Ford E-350 Cargo Van Sleeps: 4

• A custom-built turnkey adventure van offered with a variety of different floorpans to suit different off-road-focused lifestyles.

Best Value Camper Van: Rather than simply aiming to design a camper van that could go off-road, El Kapitan Vans’ Sprinter 144-based Story Maker model was engineered from the ground up to be the ultimate van life machine that’s as conducive to working off-grid as it is road-tripping and exploring off-grid. After spending just a short time inside this vehicle, it becomes abundantly clear that the SoCal-based designers of this rig possess ample firsthand experience living out of camper vans that’s been applied to the creation of the Story Teller in order to address a myriad of common issues — and to generally bolster comfort and convenience. Making the Story Maker all the more noteworthy is the fact that this model is offered with a variety of different interior configurations, all of which aim to cater to different lifestyles. The company also produces a wide array of optional add-ons and upgrades for this already well-appointed camper platform. 

Platform: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Sleeps: 3-4

• A fully-loaded, highly-capable Sprinter-based adventure van with an impressive suite of living systems for extended off-grid stays.

Best Upgrade Camper Van: There’s no rule dictating that interior luxury and external fortitude are mutually exclusive – as evidenced by this offering from RB Components. Called the Sawtooth, this beefed-up adventure van is built upon a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van (the obvious most-popular donor vehicle for adventure conversions), but the similarities to the original vehicle stop at the silhouette. This upgraded version features a 3,000-watt power system, solar panels, a 69-gallon fresh water system, a custom stainless steel enclosed shower with hot water, an electric awning, bamboo wood tables and a BBQ exterior mount – and that’s the short list. It also comes with beefy Toyo off-road tires , an air spring kit, and a water-fording-friendly snorkel intake.

Platform: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Sleeps: 4

• A well-appointed, off-road-capable adventure van with an onboard garage for storing dirt bikes, mountain bikes, & other smaller vehicles.

Best Onboard Garage Camper Van: Storyteller Overland’s Beast MODE 4×4 is an off-road-specific go-anywhere camper van that’s built on Mercedes’ Sprinter platform. Spanning 21’ in length and offering 6.3” of interior headspace, the Beast MODE 4×4 features a full kitchen, bathroom, and generously-sized sleeping quarters — all while delivering exceptional go-anywhere capabilities thanks to a slew of name-brand upgrades. On top of sporting a full suite of advanced tech and driver assists, this model also features a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine that has gobs of torque on tap while delivering solid fuel economy. In addition to its top-shelf build quality, impressive off-roading prowess, and generally luxurious nature, a major part of what sets this model aside from other adventure campers on the market is undoubtedly its dedicated “garage space” which is designed to house kayaks, dirt bikes, or mountain bikes — making this the obvious go-to choice for anyone looking to take a two-wheeler or two on their travels. 

• A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 EXT-based adventure camper with a signature Airstream interior.

Best Luxury Camper Van: One of the latest additions to the iconic brand’s luxury Class B Touring Coach range, the Airstream Interstate 24X may resemble a slightly lifted Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 EXT from the outside. Inside, however, this roughly quarter-million-dollar camper van seriously looks like a modern airstream trailer. As such, it boasts what’s almost certainly the most luxurious bathroom and kitchen of any model on this list, along with an overall fit and finish that’s legit second to none. Offered with a single floorpan, this entire vehicle spans 24’, and, while it can seat half-a-dozen adults, it only has sleeping accommodations for two. A turbodiesel engine also delivers a generous 5,000-pound towing capacity . If money is no object and you simply seek the very best in terms of appointments — though not necessarily in off-road capabilities — the Interstate 24X really can’t be beat. 

Platform: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 EXT Sleeps: 2

• A ridiculously-well-appointed two-story pop-up camper bringing the comforts of home to practically anywhere.

Best Pop-Up Camper Van: Powered by a 190-hp powertrain with off-road suspension and all-wheel drive as standard, the HYMER Venture S is the result of a brilliant interior design that’s given way to an off-road camper with an interior that looks more like your average luxury tiny home than it does any kind of dwelling on wheels. Taking inspiration from boutique hotels and lounges, the interior of the Venture S boasts a slew of fine custom cabinetry and built-in furniture as well as a staircase with integrated storage that leads occupants up to the vehicle’s sleeping quarters — a massive full-sized bed that offers an enormous amount of space thanks to a huge pop-up roof. The overall premium nature and fit and finish of this model are huge parts of what make it special, though with that said, this adventure camper is just as competent off-road as your average overlander – a combination that easily makes the HYMER Venture S one of the most attractive models on the space. 

Platform: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Sleeps: 2

• A luxurious off-road-ready adventure camper built on Mercedes’ latest, greatest, & most state-of-the-art Sprinter van to date.

Best High-Tech Camper Van: One of the coolest things about the offerings from Outside Van is their versatility in their options. Their packages all start with a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van – which is a spacious and capable vehicle in its own right – and then they offer a multitude of different packages from there, including a long list of optional customizations. But, if you’re just looking for the basics, you don’t even have to bother with the list; you can just opt for their Approach Van to get all the necessities you need to get you and your companions out on the road. In addition to a well-appointed interior, the Approach features a 50” light bar as standard, along with an aluminum roof ladder, 17” off-road wheels wrapped in all-terrain rubber, an off-grid entertainment system with stereo and TV, a topo-themed wrap, and a four-cylinder Diesel engine making 208hp, 332ft-lbs of torque that’s sent to an AWD system. 

Platform: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170 Sleeps: 4

• An insanely-rugged & immensely-capable off-road camper van with a half-million dollar price tag.

Best Hardcore Off-Roader: Aiming to provide the most luxurious living quarters on the most rugged and off-road-capable platform possible, the Benchmark Vehicles Iglhaut Allrad 170 is a super premium spare-no-expense take on an off-road adventure camper . Riding on a set of alloy billet wheels shod in 37” BFG K02 all-terrain tires, the Iglhaut Allrad 170 features a heavily-upgraded suspension package with FOX 2.5 rear shocks, front Bilstein shocks, and a massive 11” ride height. Powering the van is a a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel engine mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The van also comes loaded with a full suite of off-road upgrades including a skid plate, custom front bumper, recovery hooks, a winch, auxiliary lighting, flared fenders, and a Roambuilt Safari 2.0 Rack and two, 83-liter ROAM Adventure Company storage boxes. Measuring 170” L x 68” W x 76” H, the interior of the van features a full bed plus a passenger bench to bed seat from French seating manufacturer Scopema seats, as well as a 640-amp hour lithium battery bank, and a Dometic RTX 3000 AC unit.

Adventure: 15 Best Camper Vans for the Mobile Traveller

We have compiled a list of all the best camper vans on the market to help you choose which is best for you and your adventurous spirit, but first, it’s best to know all the accessories available, from luxury beds to fully functional kitchens.

Choosing the Best Camper Van For You

From mega off-road monsters, stylish luxury sleepers, and minimalistic compact campers, you have lots to choose from. There are a few key considerations to make when choosing a camper van to fit your lifestyle and budget:

• Size: Camper vans come both big and small, with plenty of middle ground to choose from as well. You should consider exactly how much space you need by estimating how many people will be traveling and how much gear you need, including necessities, personal items, and recreational supplies. Camper vans typically sleep anywhere from 2 to 6 people, and will have seating arrangements fit to match the sleeping capacity. Look for creative storage options, such as storage underneath the retractable awning or campers that utilize crawl space, which will help you feel less cramped.
• Amenities: You can enjoy all the luxurious amenities you have at home, like your usual kitchen appliances, climate control, advanced technology, solar power, and more, or you can opt for something more basic, depending on your needs.
• Gas Mileage: You can expect the gas mileage in a camper van to be less than that of your family car or personal sedan, but it doesn’t all have to be bad. Some models have mileage ratings as high as 20 mpg, while others are considerable low. To cut down on gas costs, consider models with an alternate energy source, like solar panels.
• Appearance: Camper vans are built onto pre-made chassis’s, so the exterior design depends heavily upon the chassis used. The Mercedes-Benz 144 chassis is a popular and common choice to many camper van builds, but you can find options that utilize Dodge, Ford, Fiat, Volkswagen, and other models, too.

Our Favorite Camper Vans

A camper van may be the perfect addition if your family loves to travel, but if you’ve never bought one before, it’s likely you don’t know where to start. Every model is intensely different, giving you a range of options to choose from. Like everything, though, some camper vans are better than others. For help choosing a camper van that is durable and built to last, with quality interior and amenities, consider our list of favorites. These options range from the biggest and baddest, to the most compact and luxurious models on the market, and none of them will let you down.

Hymercar Campervan

Hymercar is a unique company that allows you to choose from several build options and chassis’s, but perhaps their most popular option is the Hymercar Free on a fiat chassis. This model includes all the basic necessities, like a bathroom, kitchenette with refrigerator and freezer, and living space that easily converts to a sleeping space, which sleeps up to four people. The Grand Oak furniture finish gives a clean, modern feel to the inside, and you can choose from another Fiat model or the Mercedes-Benz model, depending on your aesthetic preferences.

Earthroamer XV-HD

This camper “van” is built for being off the road, but stylish enough for a highway stroll, too. It’s designed to be tough, with a King Ranch trim, a V8 Turbo Diesel engine, and 330 horsepower. This is also a great option if you need a lot of space and capacity for your travel. The Earthroamer XV-HD holds 250 gallons of fresh water and 115 gallons of fuel, so you have to stop less during your trip. The 20,000 watt hours and optional 2,100 watt solar power will help you sustain life in the great outdoors for quite some time. These super duty vehicles are built to custom order and several different floor plans are available, so you can choose how many people you’d like to sleep and all the amenities you’d like to be included. Earthroamer is based in Colorado and built in the USA .

Sportsmobile Ultimate Adventure Vehicle

This camper van is built for those who love the outdoors and have no limits as to where they may go. Its heavy duty exterior is built to last, and includes a list of upgrades to make your off-road experience all the easier, like a lift kit for extra clearance, suspension swap options, an upgraded 4×4 engine, and a roof rack capable of hauling multiple kayaks, bikes , and more. Enjoy plenty of interior conveniences, too, like a full kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, and cooktop, plenty of counter top and storage space, and a comfortable, convertible sitting and sleeping area that sleeps up to four people. A small dining area allows just as many people to easily enjoy meals, but since this Ultimate Adventure Vehicle can take you to places you’ve never been, you may find that you’re spending more and more time outdoors.

Winnebago Paseo

This roomy camper van is designed and built by Winnebago, one of the first trusted suppliers of quality RV’s. The camper is built onto a Ford Transit chassis, so you get strength and durability combined with plenty of space to move about. The back third of the van is completely customizable at your will, and you can choose from up to seven different daytime or nighttime seating options using the Flex Bed technology. You will also enjoy all the benefits of the Ford EcoBoost engine, so you can expect to get pretty good gas mileage and consistent performance that will take you wherever you want to go.

Weekender Mercedes Sprinter by Midwest Automotives

The Weekender uses a Mercedes Sprinter Chassis to create a stylish, but incredibly functional camper van. This sports van, designed by Midwest Automotives, is loaded with every luxury you could need in a travel van. Enjoy easy meal times provided by the microwave oven and compact refrigerator. Other modern conveniences you can enjoy on the go include a small bathroom with a shower, galley, wide screen televisions with cable access, internet access, and a premium sound system. The dinette area converts into a sleeping area around the size of a queen sized bed. All of your electric is run through a high powered lithium battery, which means you burn less gasoline, so you can travel on.

  Purchase

Outside Van Pop

This camper van, built on a low-roof Mercedes 144 chassis, includes a pop up roof for additional head room, which makes it easy to move about inside the luxurious living space. It is small and compact, but definitely not cramped. Outside Van offers a slew of custom options, including features like a 12V refrigerator, roof-top air conditioner, multiple cabinetry options, hanging shelves, drop down televisions, bunk beds, and more, so you can easily customize the Pop van to your liking. The Pop van can easily sleep up to four people, and depending on your chosen options, can sleep up to six.

Peugeot Rifter 4×4 Concept

If you are looking for something a bit more casual than a bulky van, this Rifter 4×4 Concept is a modern and adventurous take on a stylish SUV. Don’t worry, though, there was still plenty of room for them to add in all of your camping essentials, as well as an 8 cm lift kit to help you clear any obstacles in your path, heavy duty tires that can withstand any terrain, a LED light bar, and a splash guard behind the radiator grille on the front. Peugeot has multiple Concept vehicles, all of which are built to take on any adventure you choose.

Airstream Autobahn

Airstream prides themselves on creating the most luxury camper vans on the market. This Autobahn is built onto a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz chassis and includes tons of features that make this vehicle top of the line in design and comfort. The inside is customizable, with three different color options for the leather interior and multiple seating options. Each passenger seat can enjoy their own climate control, plenty of space, and a personal USB charger, and you can keep up with all of your modern needs with the luxury Corian refrigerator top. The V6 turbo diesel engine lets you enjoy an impressive 18 mpg on the highway, so you can keep on the go with less stops in between.

Doubleback Van

This ultimate camper van, built onto a Volkswagen 2.5 TDI Transporter chassis, quickly transforms into an extended sleeping module. The rear pod extends an extra six feet, while the roof tilts upwards to allow for plenty of head room. The van’s body is built from aerospace-spec technology, so you can rest assured that you have safety and durability to meet top standards. Each model is hand built and have a few customizable options, including multiple different finishes and options for interior design. Enjoy a comfortable double bed and multiple daytime seating options, as well as a small kitchenette and dining area. The van can easily support up to 900 pounds of extra gear and personal belongings, so don’t be afraid to pack whatever you might need.

Volkswagen California

From the trusted German engineering at Volkswagen, you can enjoy this compact camper van and all its top-notch safety standards. Despite its small size, it easily converts to sleep up to four people, includes a full miniature kitchen, a dinette area, plenty of convenient storage options, folding mirrors, and camping table and chairs to use under the retractable awning. Enjoy interior climate control, LED headlights for optimal vision, and a pop-up top for extra head room. The California may look like a van, but it’s like a miniature home on wheels, with all of the comforts you’re used to.

Outside Van Apex

The Apex model by Outside Van allows you to choose from all of their premium options, but this model is built specifically to help you enjoy your outdoors experience. Enjoy everything you need for easy off-roading, like heavy duty A/T tires , a solar package, stealth kit, and more. Like many of their other vans, the Apex is built on a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz 144 Sprinter chassis, so you can expect the inside to be as luxurious as the outside. The inside has a convertible sleeping/sitting area that has roof for at least four people to ride or rest, and the luxurious interior built is impressive and inviting for guests.

Fiat Ducato

Fiat is iconic for its compact cars, but they build a pretty mean camping machine as well. The Ducato focuses on ergonomics, and fiat created a camping solution that is easily mobile and ultimately comfortable. The turning radius is rated best-in-class and the electricity is run through a stabilized circuit, so you don’t have to worry about any surges or power outages while on the go. Enjoy plug-in USB charging ports,a 5-inch touch screen UConnect radio with AUX port, built in TomTom satellite navigation, and even more options for a technologically advanced adventure. Enjoy a 24-hour fiat camper support line in 51 countries and 15 different language, so you’re never alone, no matter how far you go.

Outside Van Unicorn

If you’re looking for a mix of great design and heavy duty off-roading power, you’ve just found it. The Unicorn by Outside Van is perhaps the most design oriented camper van on the market and features a few gorgeous additions that are definitely easy on the eye, like all natural bamboo cabinetry, high output LED light bars, and custom color selections. A few other luxuries take comfort to the next level, like the Custom Thermo Fit mattress , A/C, and auxiliary seating. As always, the Unicorn is fashioned on a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz base, so it’s built for style, comfort, and durability.

Roadtrek SS Agile

The SS Agile by Roadtrek is both compact and ultimately elegant, featuring spacious bed and bath areas with a stand up/sit down shower. The bed comfortably sleeps two, while the dinette area seats up to five people. Choose from several different packages to include a high capacity hot water system, solar package, wireless internet access, and more. The SS Agile is built on a compact sized Mercedes chassis, but includes plenty of storage space to make traveling as comfortable and organized as possible.

Winnebago Revel 4×4

Another option by the trusted camper company, Winnebago, is the Revel 4×4, which is structurally designed to withstand any off-road experience, while offering more than enough storage for both personal belongings and recreational gear. The Revel gets pretty good gas mileage, but perhaps its defining feature is its integrated solar system. The entire system relies on roof mounted solar panels, that power the kitchen (refrigerator and stove), all the lights, television, and any other technology you need with no need for gas or propane.

Enjoy a Comfortable Adventure

No matter what you choose, #vanlife campers are all built for the same purpose: as an alternative option to RV’s to provide you with comfort and protection while on the go. Most camper vans will be filled with your basic necessities, like a small kitchen and sleeping area, but you can really amp it up for added comfort. Either way, travelling in your new camper van beats stinky motel stays any day.

DHCS Kicks Off Mobile Dental Van Tour

Dentistry Today

• Share on Twitter

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) today kicked off its second mobile dental van tour in Fresno. Through the Smile California campaign, DHCS delivers preventive dental services to children and youth, enhancing utilization of essential dental care and improving oral health, particularly for underserved groups.

Adrianna Alcala-Beshara, Chief of DHCS’ Medi-Cal Dental Division (Photo: Business Wire)

“Medi-Cal Dental is committed to ensuring that millions of Californians have access to the dental care they need to keep their teeth and gums healthy and strong,” said Adrianna Alcala-Beshara, Chief of DHCS’ Medi-Cal Dental Division. “We encourage Medi-Cal members to use their dental benefits to maintain oral health and overall well-being.”

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: The Smile, California tour is partnering with the California Department of Public Health, local Medi-Cal dental providers, and community organizations to promote preventive dental services to children and youth living in areas throughout California with limited access to dental care.

According to a statewide assessment of tooth decay, by the third grade, six in ten children in California have experienced tooth decay, and one in five children have untreated tooth decay. But there is encouraging news: tooth decay is largely preventable. Prevention begins with good oral care habits that must include regular visits to the dentist.

With regular dental visits, problems can be detected early and are usually easier to fix. Preventive treatments, such as sealants, are quick and painless and can protect children’s teeth from cavities by up to 80 percent.

MEDI-CAL DENTAL SERVICES: With Medi-Cal, preventive dental services are covered at no cost. All members under age 21 are eligible for a dental check-up twice a year, sometimes even more, and all Medi-Cal members 21 and older are eligible to receive a check-up once a year. Other services may include cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, fillings, and crowns.

ABOUT THE TOUR: In addition to Fresno, the mobile dental van will make stops in Pixley (April 5), Hollister (April 11), Avenal (April 12), and Huntington Park (May 4). Services performed onsite will include exams, x-rays, cleaning, and fluoride applications. Please visit the Smile, California website for event details.

“Promotional efforts like this mobile van tour play a vital role in educating Medi-Cal members, parents, caregivers, and children about the importance of protecting the oral health of children and youth. Prevention goes beyond maintaining healthy dental care habits at home; it’s imperative for children and youth to have dental check-ups once every six months,” said Paula Lee, Policy Lead and School Dental Program Coordinator for the California Department of Public Health’s Office of Oral Health, which partners with DHCS to educate Medi-Cal members about the importance of oral health.

Apply for Medi-Cal coverage today to receive preventive dental:

• Online through BenefitsCal – http://www.benefitscal.org/
• Online through Covered California – https://www.coveredca.com/
• In person at a local county office
• Via mail by filling out the single streamlined paper application (available in 11 languages) and sending it to the local county office .

LEARN MORE: Medi-Cal members, medical providers, dental providers, and community-based organizations can learn more about Medi-Cal dental services by visiting the Smile, California website, in English at SmileCalifornia.org or in Spanish at SonrieCalifornia.org . The website includes helpful resources, such as informational flyers, videos, fact sheets, and the “ Find-A-Dentist ” tool to help families identify a local dental provider and schedule a check-up.

To find a dentist or learn more about Smile, California , visit SmileCalifornia.org or call the Member Telephone Service Center at 800-322-6384 (TTY: 1-800-735-2922), Monday – Friday, from 8 AM to 5 PM.

• geertk658 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Very interesting days in Mosow We had two day-trips with Tony. The first day we did a walking and metro-tour of Moscow, the second day we went to Sergiev Posad and a datcha belonging to friends of Tony. Both days were great. We learned a lot about local life and saw places we would never have found if we had done everything by ourselves. Tony is very talkative, has a good sense of humour and speaks excellent English. We have planned to go back to Moscow in the future and for sure we will use Tony's service again then. Read more Written January 18, 2020
• Jacky H 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Another view of Moscow Super interesting from 1st minute until last. We have dicovered a lot of places of hidden Moscow. Our guide was exceptional. Effectively Moscow was completely different during soviet period. That we knew before.... But so deeply different it was not possible to imagine before this tour. Also the bar to drink shot(s) of vodka. Looking like 30 years ago. A great and unforgettable discovery. Read more Written January 3, 2020
• LondonE7 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Private six day Golden Ring tour and further north into Russian wilderness I booked Tony for the six day Golden Ring tour (there is not an option in the tour selections above). Tony was very easy to correspond with beforehand and arranging the visa documents which was a pain from my first Russia trip and has very good English. It met Tony in Moscow after arriving from Kazan. We had the six days penciled in and improvised the trip as we went along depending on interest. At Tony's suggestion we went further north of the traditional Golden Ring at Kostroma into the frontier towns of Galich and Soligalich, which are time capsules and normal road access ends. We then detoured into the wilderness from Chukhloma to the Lesney Terem Astashovo Wood Palace hotel which is a museum hotel. We then hiked thru logging mud trails and crossing a river to get to a second run down Wood Palace where a local still lives and was happy to show us around. There are videos of all our experiences on my youtube channel [departures1]. After rejoining the Golden Ring route from Yaroslavl we finished in Moscow and did a driving tour of the Soviet architecture. I really enjoyed the six day trip and this is the type of adventure if you want something more original and authentic. We spent time visiting abandoned Churches and inside derelict homes that other guides may not take you to so you can be as creative as you like with Tony. We also visited Mosques in northern Russia which I would not have expected. I would highly recommend touring with Tony and planning a great adventure together. Read more Written December 4, 2019

• Alan B 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great guide in Moscow I was touch with Tony almost 12 months before going to Moscow and could not rate his service high enough. He was readily available on email or skype, and if not responded very quickly. He is flexible, knowledgeable and very customer focused. We did not finalise anything until we met in the hotel lobby in Moscow and planned our trip for the day. What we enjoyed was not only did we do the touristy things but Tony took us to places, vodka cafes, that we would not have experienced with other guides or groups. He made getting around the Metro easier and allowed us to enjoy the experience. Tony also saved us money by arranging transport to the station when we were leaving Moscow. I would highly reccommend Tony if you are wanted a great Moscow experience. Read more Written November 1, 2019
• GARYE3466 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles TRANS SIBERIAN RAILROAD My wife and I went from BEIJING TO MOSCOW BY RAIL. WE WENT THROUGH CHINA, MONGOLIA AND RUSSIA. A very interesting and informative trip.. After hearing about how bad Siberia was our entire lives it was time to see for ourselves. . Siberia is vast and the eastern part is slightly populated. Seeing the cultures involved in each country we very interesting. Discovery Russia put the trip together and did a very good job. We took five separate trains for seventeen days. We spent five nights on the train and the remaining nights in hotels in various cities along the way. All connections were done without error and we took day tours in several of the cities along the way. It is a unique, educational trip for all travelers to take.. Read more Written September 3, 2019
• 533lawrences 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Off the Beaten Path with Tony We had two great trips with Tony. I wanted to see a Russian Orthodox church in a village about 200 kilometers from Moscow. Tony set up the whole trip. We were able to attend Sunday Mass, got a tour of the church and the village from the priest, and were even invited to the priest’s home for lunch with his family!!!! It was a special day. Later that week we asked Tony to take us to the Food City Farmer’s Market in suburban Moscow. It was great fun to see all the food, trucks and people from all over Russia and former USSR states. We even had brunch in the Uzbekistan Cafe there. Tony is friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his itineraries. I highly recommend him. Read more Written July 11, 2019
• Dmarb 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to see the countryside! Our family of four (with two teens) took a private 2-day tour of Vladimir, Suzdal and Sergiev Posad with Tony and Irina. Touring with them is like visiting a local friend - they are so open and willing to share their thoughts, experiences and perspectives that it made the trip so much more interesting than with most tour guides. It was great to see the Golden Ring towns, but our absolute favorite (and where we stayed overnight) was Suzdal - so charming, we didn’t want to leave. Also recommend staying at Panorama Guest House in Suzdal where the caretaker really makes you feel at home! Day 1, Tony picked us up at the airport and drove to Vladimir, where he showed us the highlights and stopped for lunch. The drive is long, but Tony’s engaging conversation helped to pass the time while getting our first view outside Moscow. Tony was accommodating throughout the day and attentive to our needs. After lunch we continued on to Suzdal, where we spent the night. On day 2, Irina took over (as Tony had previously booked a tour for this day) seamlessly and we really enjoyed getting to know her! She could tell how much we liked Suzdal, so took us to some of her favorite places in town (including an old monastery) and tried to find a specific souvenir my daughter was looking for, asking around at different shops and stalls to locate it. We eventually had to leave Suzdal and drove to Sergiev Posad, during which we had more interesting conversations with Irina about her work, world politics, social issues, etc. After dinner, Irina took us back to our hotel in Moscow. Great experience, recommend it highly! Read more Written July 10, 2019

• teraliya 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Real Russia for delicate Moscow girl I've been in three trips with these guys (Pereslavl-Zalessky, Staritsa / Torzhok, Ushakovskiye karyery in the Tula region) - it's rather addictive and makes you want more and more. And I was amazed, how beautiful our country is. We have so many cozy authentic towns. The folks are funny, jokes and humor will accompany you through the whole journey. You can also count on them in every unpredictable situation, problems will be solved and joyful spirit of a voyage won't be hurt. Even if you find yourself at night in the middle of nowhere, the overnight stay will be found. And in such a company it’s not scary to encounter even the harsh Russian service! I also liked that the planned sightseeing program was adjusted along the way, unexpected events naturally fitted into our day - we hung out at the reconstruction festival for half a day, spontaneously got into spacious caves in a beautiful river valley, unexpectedly found a local charismatic guide and learned a lot of interesting things about the provincial life and the difficulties of the Russian intelligentsia.

• saucemaz 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles LImestone Caves Trip I am still struggling to fully explain the unique experience of exploring the disused artificial caves of the bygone limestone mining era. It was not just one of the best things I have done in Moscow, but one of my overall favourite experiences ever!! The trip is not a straightforward amble round some caves, it is a descent into another world with Tony as a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who just bubbles over with passion for his subject. You will get some unique pictures and the experience wil stay with you. You will also hear some wild stores about the people that like to frequent the caves and as Tony said the phrase 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' certainly applied deep below the surface at Domodedovo...

• avandevuurst 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great customised tour to get a in-depth understanding of Russians/Russia! End of February we were in Moscow and booked half a day with a guide, Tony. He was recommended to us and we were excited to learn more about Moscow and Russia from a local. Tony himself is well traveled, and speaks English in a clear accent, so he is easy to understand. He was punctual, the information he gave us was very detailed and up to date with current political developments. The tour was completely customised to our liking and it was the highlight of our stay in Moscow. He showed us some hidden gems that we would have not known otherwise, took us with the metro, recommended restaurants during our stay, and treated us to some local delicacies. Tony is a really great host with most importantly a great sense of humour! Because of his great personality and his broad knowledge I highly recommend booking him for a personalised tour.

• jlmoffice3008 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Private Customized Tour of Central Russia and Siberia....INCREDIBLE! This trip was a once in a lifetime experience. Tony was so accommodating throughout the entire planning process and for the duration of the trip. First class service. Tony organized a private trip for me which started in Moscow to Starista, Gorno-Altaysk, Belokuriha and Perm. The Gulag in Perm was incredible and Tony arranging a meeting with a Russian Hound expert was the icing on the cake of a perfect trip! Read more Written August 22, 2018
