The BBC's Race Across the World is back - and this series, the teams are travelling through some of the most extraordinary destinations on earth. From Italy and Greece, east through the bazaars of Turkey and the mountain passes of Georgia, deep into the endless steppe of Kazakhstan, and along the ancient Silk Road - through the turquoise-tiled squares of Uzbekistan and the wild peaks of Kyrgyzstan - all the way to the vast, humbling wilderness of Mongolia.
For over a thousand years, the Silk Road carried not just silk and spice, but ideas, religion, art and culture across some of the most dramatic terrain on earth. The racers are sprinting through it. If you're inspired by what you see, you can do it properly.
We've been specialists in Asia travel for over 25 years. Every tour is fully escorted, with a dedicated expert guide, so you can travel with confidence and curiosity - no logistics, no guesswork, just the experience.

Last week, the Race Across the World contestants reached Istanbul - one of the great cities of human history - checking in at one of its iconic minarets, the slender towers that have defined the city's skyline for centuries.
It's a fitting checkpoint. Istanbul has always been a place of arrival. Straddling the Bosporus where Europe meets Asia, it has drawn travellers, traders and conquerors for two millennia. Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul - the names have changed, but the city's hold on the imagination never has.
Turkey, though, is far more than its greatest city. Beyond Istanbul lie the ancient streets of Ephesus, the calcium-white terraces of Pamukkale, the haunting battlefields of Gallipoli, and the extraordinary volcanic landscapes of Cappadocia - a region so otherworldly it barely seems real.
If the race has stirred something in you, we have a tour that takes you deeper.
Treasures of Turkey is a 15-day classic tour that follows the country's greatest sites from Istanbul to Cappadocia, with expert guides, all meals included, and access to places most visitors never reach - including the rarely visited ancient city of Magnesia, where our local partner sponsors the ongoing excavations.
Turkey rewards those who take the time to understand it. This tour is built for exactly that.
