Tashkent Sightseeing, Attractions, Culture and History Tours 2023/2024

“Really exciting trip, very full on and packed with seeing the best of all 3 countries that you visit. Be prepared for long but very rewarding days of sightseeing and travelling. Go with the flow! Very friendly and hospitable people. Eating out is cheap and there is plenty of choice of good quality meat (lamb, beef) kebabs/ pasties! (or the nearest thing to them, yummy) dumplings, paste/noodle/bread and salads. Local beer very acceptable and even the best vodka is very cheap and taste great.. Great photo opportunities and load of very interesting architecture such as Madrasah's and mausoleums to see! Scenery up in mountains is stunning with waterfalls and turquoise lakes. Staying in the Yurt in the mountains in Kyrgyzstan was wonderful. No light pollution so you can see the milky way and shooting stars! But be prepared for it to be very basic and rustic! We ended up playing hand ball with a international team of people staying at the camp site and then sitting round the camp fire singing and drinking vodka watching the night sky.”

“A varied and inspiring (but arduous) journey through Central Asia, from the magnificent mosques and mausoleums of Uzbekistan, to the bleak but beautiful mountain and steppe landscape of Kyrgyzstan, this trip delivered what it promised.”

“An absolutely great trip. We were lucky with our group of 8 as we gelled brilliantly. Star leader/guide in Dilshod. I loved Uzbekistan. Relaxed, safe, and met with universal friendliness. Once there a very cheap holiday. Itinerary pretty standard with exception of excursion from Khiva out to desert fortresses which was interesting - one of bits of "leavening" of a diet of cities and mosques/madrassas etc, lovely tho they were. Altogether well balanced trip, and would recommend the version by this tour operator.. Can't avoid long journeys between centres, but we had plenty of space in a medium sized coach. Even the retail stops (carpets, embroidery (beautiful pieces), pottery were quality.”
