Group travel along the Silk Road
Small Group Tours
We only ever offer group trips that we ourselves would want to join, so what you see below are the cream of the crop. We’ve had universally good feedback from previous guests and each year we make tiny adjustments to ensure that the quality and content is the best it can possibly be.
If you like the idea of one of these trips but can’t do the dates, then fly over to our Tailor-Made page, where you will find details on how to hone a Silk Road trip to perfection.

Although nowadays our focus is increasingly on private, tailor-made journeys, we are currently considering offering one or two of our classic trips each year for those who prefer to travel in a group. These are groups are small, and by small we mean a maximum of around ten guests. Please let us know via our Contact Page if you are interested in joining the wait-list to be included on such a trip.

From time to time we organise specialist group tours whose primary focus is on supporting local conservation efforts. One of these is our Snow Leopards of Central Asia, whereby our efforts to bring guests to see the cats and their prey species help fund the conservation of those animals. While we are not specialist wildlife tour operators, we know the countries we visit and the local expertise in those places better than anyone. Moreover, our TV fixing work, with organisations like the BBC Natural History Unit, helps us expand and hone our expertise. These are unique, often world-first experiences, that have taken years to develop.

Vibrant. Intimate. Expertly organised. Cultural tours are at their best when they stray off the beaten track. With our specialist guides, you won’t just be ticking off the well-known sights, you’ll be immersing yourself in the culture and peoples of each country. You’ll eat with families, meet famous artisans and drink green tea with shepherds high in the mountains of Tajikistan. True luxury isn’t about the thread count of your sheets, it’s about connection, experiences and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Georgia: From East to West
This is a chance to experience the real Georgia, not just dash through the country on a tick-box tour. You’ll dine with artists and politicians, meet silkworm farmers, visit hidden churches, spend time with a conservationist and enjoy a dizzying array of local food and wine. This is about people as much as place: we want you to feel the soul of Georgia.
