Exploring the Silk Road in Modern Luxury

Once the lifeblood of trade between East and West, the Silk Road weaves a path through time, history, and culture. Stretching from Turkey through Central Asia to China, this ancient network of routes connected empires, facilitated the exchange of ideas, and shaped civilizations.

Today, the Silk Road offers a rare blend of adventure travel and refined luxury for those eager to follow in the footsteps of merchants and explorers. With expert travel advisors curating each detail, modern expeditions along the Silk Road are immersive, indulgent, and unforgettable.

From the ancient courtyards of Bukhara to the vibrant bazaars of Samarkand and the walled cities of Khiva, the Silk Road is home to some of Asia’s most enchanting cities. Modern travelers can unwind in luxury hotels that blend contemporary comfort with local charm — boutique riads, grand palaces, and restored caravanserais offer stunning stays in locations rich with heritage.

Whether sipping tea in a sunlit garden or soaking in a marble-clad spa, every moment invites relaxation in surroundings that celebrate centuries of cultural exchange.

Explore architectural marvels with expert guides

The Silk Road is a treasure trove of architectural wonders. Intricately tiled mosques, soaring minarets, and majestic mausoleums reflect the legacy of empires past. Explore Uzbekistan’s Registan Square, marvel at the desert fortresses of Turkmenistan, or stand before the Mogao Caves in China’s Gansu Province — all with the insight of expert guides who bring each story and structure to life.

These tailor-made tours offer deep historical context and VIP access to some of the world’s most storied landmarks.

Savor gourmet dining with local and international flavors

Culinary exploration is central to the Silk Road experience. Sample delicacies influenced by Persia, India, and China — from saffron-spiced pilafs to lamb kebabs and hand-pulled noodles.

In cities like Tashkent, Kashgar, and Xi’an, luxury travelers can enjoy fine dining experiences that merge tradition with innovation, often paired with regional wines or aromatic teas. Private dinners under desert stars or rooftop meals with panoramic views add to the unforgettable flavors of the journey.

Engage in exclusive cultural experiences and private tours

Teresa Wilds is the most capable travel agent I have ever used!! With all of the delays and uncertainties and cancellations in air travel, an astute advocate is essential. Today, Teresa booked me on an earlier flight and got me home hours earlier. She is unflappable and knows the inside and outside of the business. So happy to have her helping me!!

One of my job functions is to assist our Agency employees with travel for conferences and/or seminars. I was not very familiar with the Concur system or travel except for what I had learned the weeks prior to; however, since taking this position I have learned so much – and one reason is because of Nanci Dietz.

We have had a few different scenarios happen the past couple months that I know if I call, or email Nanci, she will help me understand what is going on, how we can fix it, and then take her time to explain why things happen.

In my opinion, Nanci does an amazing job, and I would not be as confident as I am with travel accommodations without her guidance.

I had the pleasure of working with Nanci and she was SO AMAZING! I was stuck on the tarmac in Baltimore for 3.5 hours and I was to the point of tears with the airline after being told there were no more flights I could get home on that night. When I called the corporate after hours line, Nanci answered and told me she saw seats on the flight. She promptly got me on that flight, secured me a seat and told me to keep in touch with her. I was able to text her when I landed in Charlotte and feel
