The Silk Road - Awesome adventure

Cecilia was able to accommodate our schedule by providing private tours before and after our Silk Road tour.

The itinerary couldn’t have been better. All accommodations were 4 or 5 stars.

The guides were exceptional. Thomas, Zadi, Sally, Spring, Danny, and Sissy were knowledgeable, personable, and candid about their lives. We had several wonderful discussions about raising kids, and different lifestyles.

The Silk Road tour opened my eyes to the importance of trade from millenniums ago to today.

Thank you Cecilia,

Thank you Asia Odyssey

Our Three Stans adventure with Asia Odyssey Travel was phenomenal.

The itinerary brilliantly captured the essence of the Silk Road, from Uzbekistan's majestic architecture to Tajikistan's rugged mountains and Turkmenistan's surreal desert craters. Our guide's expertise brought history alive, and our driver ensured a smooth, comfortable journey throughout. Impeccable service and an unforgettable deep dive into Central Asia's heart. Highly recommended!
