Great Journeys

With our Great Journeys you can follow in the footsteps of some of the great travellers of a bygone age, experiencing several far-flung and exotic destinations all in a single guided walking holiday of a lifetime. Our Great Journeys are guided walking holidays that are longer in duration, take you across a wider region (often more than one country) and are generally lower grade, easier walking, staying in comfortable accommodation.

Our Great Journeys

In Search of the Silk Road
The great courts of Tamarlane, Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great, agents of the British Raj and Russian Tsar - these are all part of the rich history of Central Asia. In the centre of the area Uzbekistan has some of the finest architecture that the wealth taxed from the merchants on the Silk Road could afford. Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand are classical beautiful cities.
