Silk Road - New departure
We’ve added an extra departure of our very popular Silk Road to Samarkand tour this April. With limited availability on many of our other departure dates this year, we wanted to give as many of you as possible the chance to experience this fabulous 15-day tour. It spends time in the ancient Silk Road cities of Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand famed for their magnificent architecture and rich cultural heritage.
