Uzbekistan's Silk Road Splendor: 6-Day Private Journey

I absolutely LOVED this tour — I cannot recommend it enough, and I would give it 10 stars if I could! The entire itinerary was very well put together, and I was able to see everything I wanted to see in Uzbekistan. Every city was amazing, and Samarkand was my absolute favorite — what a mesmerizing city. Everything ran so smoothly — all my tour guides (and even flights and trains!!) were incredibly punctual, and knowledgeable and friendly too. And all the hotels booked were perfect — very conveniently located in the heart of the city, clean and comfortable. Amir and team organized every detail flawlessly, and it was so helpful to have someone who knows the country organize everything for you (it ends up being around the same cost if you try to do it yourself anyway, so it’s totally worth it to just let the professionals handle it). Also, I’ll mention that I had some visa issues right before my trip (completely my fault), and Amir went above and beyond to help me out the night before my flight/tour. I was so grateful for his help and that I was able to make it to Uzbekistan because this tour is an experience of a lifetime! Highly, highly recommend!!

everything arranged very comfortable, tour guide is knowledgeable and nice. hotel is at old town, it is very convenience.

POSITIVES: - Well organised - Booking was made seamlessly. Amir was quick to respond to queries on Tripadvisor and via Whatsapp. - Guides - all the guides were welcoming, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and great at helping us take pictures. A big thank you to Mr. Ulugbek for the support in getting our group to climb up Topraz Kala and Ayaz Kala, Mr. Bekhruz for going out of his way to take us to an amazing plov restaurant in Bukhara, Mr. Timur for giving us guidance on how to negotiate at the bazaar, and Mr. Nusrat for the apples and ice cream break at the park in Tashkent. They all made the experience enjoyable and felt like family at the end of the trip! Keep up the amazing work! - Tailored made - We were able to start our tour in Khiva on Day 1 instead of Tashkent. We also were able to add on an additional tour of Topraz Kala and Ayaz Kala on Day 3. Both locations are near Khiva. - Pickup and drop off - all drivers were on time to greet us with a name card at the entrance of the train stations at Urgench, Bukhara and Samarkand. The cars were all new, clean, and spacious for our group of 3 adults. It was always a comfortable and safe drive. - Trains - as we were a group of 3, Amir helped to book a whole cabin for us (which is usually for 4 people) on the train journey from Urgench to Bukhara (5.5 hours trip). The cabin was clean and cozy and the toilet (which was at the end of our coach) was clean. The train from Bukhara to Samarkand (approx. 3 hours trip) was comfortable and they served a free snack on the fast train from Samarkand to Tashkent (2.5 hours trip). - Hotels - the boutique hotels that were booked for us at Khiva (in the old town and walking distance to all the sites), Bukhara (in the old town and walking distance to all the sites), and Samarkand (walking distance from some of the sites) were clean, spacious, had good wifi, and air conditioning. Breakfast is included with a good variety of local and western food - the fruits are so sweet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking a tour with the company! Thank you Amir, Ulugbek, Bekhruz, Timur and Nusrat for making our trip an amazing one!

We had the best experience ever, Uzbakistan its a wonderful country. People are very polite and welcoming, very safe place to be. I travelled with my 16 years old daughter and we never felt uncomfortable. The tour is great but we wished if we stayed 2 nights in Bokhara. Guides all of them were great especially Mister Nusrat we had tour in Tashkent with him wonderful experiences. The only things we didn't like is when we travelled from Samarkand to Tashkent. We spent more than 5 hours in a regular train and the seats wasn't confortable at all. I had a back problem and I really wasn't in a good shape the next day. For the price I payed I wish we travelled in first class in the bullet train. I payed extra money to travel better which is normally include in he price..

It was such a great trip! I brought my 17-year-old daughter and we both loved it! It was a lot of travel in between cities, but taking the train was actually quite fun. The cities were beautiful and our guides were all so knowledgeable and excited to share the history of their country with us.

We booked this tour very last minute (2 days before arriving!) and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect - but it turned out to be a fantastic experience! From the moment the booking was made, everything was well-organised by Mr. Amir, to whom I am very grateful for all his communication, professionalism and assistance. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, with just the right balance of sightseeing, interesting facts, and time to explore independently. We got to see some real highlights, and even a few hidden gems I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. All of our English-speaking guides were great - shout out to Mr. Nusrat (Tashkent), Ulugbek (Khiva), Bekhruz (Bukhara) and Khushvakt (Samarkand). Because the group was small, it was easy to connect with the guides and enjoy a more personalised experience. What impressed me most was how smoothly everything ran, even though I booked at the very last minute. Communication was clear, the transportation was comfortable, and the whole vibe was relaxed and enjoyable. On top of that, all of the local people and communities were very warm and friendly, which made us really appreciate Uzbekistan. :) If you're thinking about booking this tour but aren’t sure, I say go for it! All the 5* reviews are proof enough. I would definitely recommend this tour and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Note: The only con that comes to mind which was totally out of the tour company's control, was the train tickets and times. Because we had booked last minute (as I have emphasised many times now, haha), all the high-speed trains were unavailable. If you know of your travel plans earlier, book this tour ASAP so you don't miss out on the faster trains. Special thanks again to Mr. Amir and the team. It was a pleasure.

Umid was great as a tour coordinator. Everything was seamless. I also liked that my tour guides were from different generations. I got diverese POVs. All of them, as well as the drivers, were very nice. They reminded me so much of my people. I felt home.

This has been my best tour ever. Everything was programmed to perfection. The person incharged, Amir, communicated with me through WhatsApp once I booked the tour and we had a regular communication the whole time. The tour was individual and my wife and I had the pleasure of receiving all the information directly from the guides. Drivers and guides were always on time, so we were never late to catch a train or an airplane. It's impresive the coordination of the whole team. The guides are people of great knowledge in their field and was a pleasure to hear their explanations. Finally, I must say that the country of Uzbekistan is amazing.

We had the most amazing 6-day private tour along the Silk Road skillfully arranged by Amir and his team. Every detail (guides, drivers, hotels, train and air tickets, as well as entry tickets to all the attractions were carefully arranged and modified as required). Easy communication and itinerary, seamless support from drivers and English-speaking tour guides (we particularly enjoyed Tulkin, our professional tour guide in Khiva who has BA in history and is a history buff). Daily check ins with Amir made our travel throughout the country worry-free and relaxing so we could focus on history, traditions, culture, smells and tastes of the region. An unforgettable trip!

I would highly recommend this tour. I was visiting from the UK. I was solo for this part of the trip. I think Uzbekistan would have been quite hard to navigate as a foreigner who cannot speak russian or Uzbek. Everything was organised for me which made the trip very easy. Having English speaking local guides, and drivers with comfortable air conditioned cars was really beneficial. I felt like I saw the best attractions and got a real taste of Uzbekistan. There was enough free time to explore on my own in the evenings. Amir was able to provide incredible support when I needed him over WhatsApp. All the hotels were clean and comfortable. The individual guides in each location were really kind and knowledgeable. Local people I met were also really warm and welcoming. One day I hope to return to Uzbekistan with friends and family, and if I do I will be using this company again.
