About the tour
Retracing one of the most important trading routes of ancient civilisation, the Silk Road follows in the footsteps of such legendary figures as Alexander the Great and Marco Polo. For centuries, merchants and adventurers journeyed to and from China on ancient routes through some of the most testing landscapes in the world trading silk, spices and perfumes. These 'highways' - stretching some 4,000 miles (6,400 km) - collectively came to be called the 'Silk Road'.
Journey is also available from Moscow to Almaty based on your travel preference.
