Though Central Asia is off the beaten track today, this wasn’t always the case. In fact, the Silk Road passed through many of the region’s main cities (including Samarkand, Bukhara, Merv, Khujand and Osh). As merchants stopped in these cities on their way from China to Europe, they traded not only goods, but also knowledge, with locals. This made Central Asia a lively region with master-craftsmen, world-class scholars, and a diverse population. Between the cities, the Silk Road passed through remote and evocative landscapes – including the Tajikistan’s towering Pamir Mountains, Turkmenistan’s and Uzbekistan’s vast deserts, and Kyrgyzstan’s secluded alpine lakes.
Follow in the footsteps of the Silk Road merchants and visit the most famous sights of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan with one of Advantour’s small group Central Asia tours, private trips, or other travel packages. Our Central Asia tours have been developed based on our many years of experience touring the region and are specially designed to give you the best possible trip through Central Asia. Taste local cuisine at the best restaurants, learn about history and culture from the best guides, and relax at the best hotels. Head out on an excursion (even just for a day) with our reliable drivers, watch master-craftsmen practice their ancient trades, or spend hours exploring museums – it’s up to you. Our private trips are a great way to tailor-make a tour that fits your needs, interests, and schedule, while our scheduled small group guided tours offer the best value for money while introducing you to fellow travellers from around the world.
