Overview & Highlights
This honeymoon takes you through the Silk Road cities of Uzbekistan at an easy, private pace. You begin with a gentle evening in Tashkent, then ride the Afrosiyob high-speed train to Samarkand, where the turquoise domes and tilework of the Registan glow at sunset. Your own guide and car mean no group schedules and no early rush. From Samarkand you continue to Bukhara, a walkable old trading town of minarets, madrasahs and shaded courtyards. Days are built around one main experience, with long breaks for tea, shopping and time together. Your hotels are chosen for atmosphere, with traditional courtyards and decorated rooms where available, and a candlelight dinner is arranged in the old town. A flower or cake welcome is arranged on arrival, and a couples spa session is planned in Bukhara, all subject to availability. The journey closes with a last night in Tashkent before your flight home.
