Samarkand & Bukhara Highlights
Journey highlights. Seven days exploring the two greatest jewels of the Silk Road. Samarkand was the capital of Timur's empire and a centre of astronomy under his grandson Ulugbek; Bukhara kept its whole medieval core intact, a working town of trade domes, madrasahs and clay lanes rather than a set of isolated monuments.

Classic Uzbekistan
Journey highlights. Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara in eight unforgettable days, taken at a pace that leaves room to sit in a courtyard rather than march past it. You begin in the capital, ride the high-speed Afrosiyob train down to Samarkand, and finish among the trade domes and mud-brick lanes of Bukhara.

Uzbekistan by High-Speed Rail
Journey highlights. Glide between the Silk Road cities aboard the Afrosiyob high-speed train. What used to be a long day on the road is now a comfortable morning in a reclining seat: Tashkent to Samarkand in two hours and ten minutes, Samarkand to Bukhara in about an hour and a half.

Bukhara Heritage Discovery
Journey highlights. Step into a living museum where every corner tells a 1,000-year-old story. Bukhara is the most complete medieval city in Central Asia, and five days give you time to walk it slowly rather than tick it off.

Journey highlights. A photographer's dream — every street, mosque and minaret a perfect frame. Khiva's inner town, Ichan-Kala, is a walled medieval city that people still live in, a maze of clay alleys, carved doors and tiled minarets enclosed by ramparts you can walk along at sunrise and sunset.

Tashkent City Break
Journey highlights. Underground palaces, ancient bazaars and the modern face of Central Asia. Tashkent is the largest city in the region and reads as several cities at once — the blue domes of the Old City, the elegant brick of the Turkestan governorate, the concrete ambition of the 1970s and the glass towers going up now.
