Small Group Tours For Unique People
Silk & Wine Routes organise tours for people who don't like tours. We go to destinations that may be less easy to travel to on your own and we add experiences that you might miss. We want you to benefit from our knowledge and our excellent local guides, but also to feel independent within our small groups. Our trips let you discover ancient Silk Road destinations, spectacular mountain landscapes, glacial lakes, architecture, mosaics, bazaars, scenic drives and immersive visits to explore new cultures. We also want to help you to enjoy the best food and unique restaurants with the group or on your own. We encourage and help guests to explore, to wander and to wonder.
