Reviews of our Central Asia Experienced Traveler Tours
Our Experienced explorers reflect on their cultural journeys through Central Asia.

There were 2 leaders the one in Kyrgistan was very good and the one in Uzbekistan was poor
Anonymous | Traveled in June
A short introduction to the highlights of a country with diverse, stunning scenery - lakes, mountains, wide valleys - hospitable locals, great food. The walks were moderate with some short scrabbling over rocks in places but not difficult. Accommodation was always clean. Tour leader Aisuluu was efficient, informative and spoke English very well. There were some long days on the bus - plenty of stops but worth noting. There are signs of tourist development around Issyk kul lake so visit sooner rather than later.

Both tour leaders were very helpful and very knowledgeable. The accommodation booked was very comfortable. The tour events were varied enough to keep everyone interested and the pace of travel fine.

Both tour leaders were very good. The itinerary was very good ... we saw and experienced so much! The tour group was fragmented and poor ... the worst group of people that I have travelled with. In particular one person on the tour refused to speak with or acknowledge me and one of the others on the tour, bringing all of the charm of a spiteful girls playground to the experience. A tour group is a transient and fascinating experience in social balance. Even if you don't get on with people there has to be a recognition that making the experience uncomfortable for other people on the tour is not acceptable.

What a great trip! Would avoid the high temperature times if possible and brush up on the history before you leave, and the similarities and differences between the countries. A very few of the days were incredibly long, so be forewarned. An hour to eat and repack, etc. for departure can be a bit of a pain, especially if you have no idea of the day's explicit itinerary.

Very comprehensive and well organised.
