My sister and I planned on a trip to Uzbekistan this year since the Summer of 2022. We researched guides and narrowed it down to a few. We ultimately decided on a 4 city tour over an 8 day span. When all was said and done, CharlietheTraveller offered exactly what we were looking for. Look, I’m not an easy sell and we have been on a couple tours of this type. Upon considering whether this suited us best, Charlie himself phoned me and dispelled our concerns. At the end of the day we agreed that this was the package that suited us best. Now that we are back, we can say that we could not of found a better tour group. Charlie the Traveller made sure his representatives were on point each step of the way. No detail was overlooked. Everything went off without a hitch. The sites were amazing and the guides brought it to us in a way that made us feel like they had a genuine desire for us to understand their culture and history. Schedules were flexible when practical and everything we wanted to do we did. Our guides were knowledgeable and had our best interests in mind. Charlie the Traveller will be where we go to when planning our next vacation adventure.

The most important thing I can tell about this trip is that Charlie the Traveler & his ground operators were available at all times & worked miracles when needed. For instance when my son left a beloved object he had purchased, Charlie arranged a rendezvous-vous in another town 40 miles away along our travel route & it was recovered. My son said “these things never happen”, but Charlie made it so. We were in capable, conscientious hands everywhere we went thanks to Charlie & his colleagues.

The trip to Uzbekistan was unique and original, which was right down my alley. I felt it was well-organized and flowed perfectly for what I was looking for in a trip. I never knew there was so much quality activities in this country and I am very pleased CharlieTheTraveler included so many of them on this trip. The dinner at the resident’s home was unlike any trip I’ve been on. There could not be a more authentic dinner than a home-cooked meal by a native Uzbek! This was truly the most unique experience I’ve had while on a trip.

This was a great trip! CharlieTheTraveler exceeded my expectations in the trip to Uzbekistan in the activities included, dinners included, and the other accommodations. I felt safe and in good hands the entire time, as I wasn’t just dropped off and left to my own devices like with other tour groups. Exploring Tashkent was the highlight of the trip for me. I appreciated that this tour allowed me to be immersed in the culture. I was able to experience the best sites and cuisine of the country in this city. It was also excellent for the second day of the trip as to allow us to get accustomed to the area.

I never thought Uzbekistan would be the ideal trip destination, but when I was researching what trips CharlieTheTraveler offered, I was amazed at what they promised in this trip. I was even more blown away when they stayed true to everything they promised, as many touring companies always have some activity that falls through. We did everything and got everything that I expected!
