The Great Silk Road: a classic tour

If there is one trip you must make in a lifetime, it is a classic tour taking in some of the most interesting sights of the Silk Road. Known as the greatest trading route between east and west, Silk Road tours can take you right back in time through the pages of history, to explore and marvel at the ancient cities and sights that unfold before you.

Escorted tours and private tours for these epic journeys, often beginning at Beijing, can really excel themselves, and some can include even detours off to Everest base camp and the Himalayas. Many focus on China, but other tours include lesser visited countries like Uzbekistan and their very important trading cities in Silk Road history.
