About this tour...

Step into the pages of history with The Great Game Tour, a journey inspired by the 19th-century rivalry between the British Empire and the Russian Empire. Coined by British officer Arthur Conolly, the term captures the intrigue, espionage, and diplomacy that shaped Central Asia. Travel across landscapes once contested in this geopolitical struggle, from the Pamirs to Afghanistan and Persia. Discover how Afghanistan became the strategic heart of this rivalry, sparking the Anglo-Afghan Wars.
