The Mysteries of the Silk Road

Tashkent | Samarkand | Bukhara | Khiva

This Uzbekisthan tour introduces you to a wonderful, little known country, with an ancient culture, terrific culinary delights and fantastically well preserved architecture. If tales of Marco Polo and his travels along the fabled Silk Road to China, visiting places such as Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, conjure up images in your mind,  many of these fabulous places can still be seen in the modern country of Uzbekistan in central Asia. Today’s clean prosperous modern cities with their wide boulevards and green leafy squares make this a tour of many contrasts.

We recommend visiting Uzbekisthan during April to June or September and October avoiding the summer heat and winter cold.
