Uzbekistan Tours in June 2026

Uzbekistan was such a unique and wonderful destination. I would have never thought to have gone here if it had not been for CharlieTheTraveler. They offered an organized trip full of immersion into the rich culture of the country. It was an enlightening experience for me! The Silk Road was fascinating to explore. My favorite part of it, however, had to be the Turkish bathhouse. It was such a unique spa-like experience that was perfect for the middle of the trip. I also appreciated this was done at night after a long day of exploring as to allow me to relax and reflect on everything I saw!

This trip exceeded my expectations in many ways! There is so much to see and enjoy on this tour. It is a tale of two halves: the first half, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, focus more on the stunning scenery and nature. The beauty of Kyrgyzstan was a revelation to me. And the Eagle-hunting workshop was an absolute highlight for everyone in the group. I did also enjoy the 'brutalist beauty' of Bishkek (expect your first day to be a long day, as you land in the morning and do a city tour in the afternoon - I basically skipped a night's sleep, but it was worth it!). A personal highlight for me was the walk from the yurt camp (most of the group cited the overnight stay in a yurt as their highlight) to the red rocks - absolutely stunning. The Grand Canyon in Kazakhstan was also a great experience. The second half of the trip, Uzbekistan, is more cultural: you will see many impressive mausoleums, madrasas and mosques. Samarkand especially blew me away! Khiva is also very beautiful but seems a bit more geared towards tourists - it was definitely more expensive than other parts of Uzbekistan, although still cheap. In Tashkent we also visited a market and some metro stations, which was a little different and a very interesting interlude. There is just so much to see and do. Some might find the many mausoleums a bit repetitive towards the end, but I found they all had something different to offer and it truly is a unique opportunity to visit these beautiful places before it gets to overcrowded with tourists (especially Uzbekistan is geared towards receiving more tourists and is getting more coverage in the international press as an up and coming tourist destination!).

I am still impressed with how much the tour guide provided by CharlieTheTraveler knew about the area. From the first day, I felt safe as we explored an area I would have been lost in had I gone by myself. The country has rich historical and cultural roots which made the trip very interesting. The tour guide was personable and made my trip to Uzbekistan worth every penny!

Absolutely brilliant! I’ve already shared this tour and my trip all over my social media and have had some many people interested in doing the same! I feel very fortunate to have experienced this part of the world but 100% the main reason for it being so so good was because of Lilia

I recommend the uzbequistan trip I didn’t enjoy much kirjistan. The guides were excellent but I should have gone just to uzbequistan as there is not much in kirjistan. Kirjistan is about nature, the trip is too long for what it is and quite boring. I want also to return to Uzbekistan however your basic trip doesn’t include Fergana valley. I strongly recommend you sell a 2 day extension to include rishtam and Fergana valley. All the trip in Uzbekistan was a must

My quibbles with this trip are very minor and I've told explore (update the itinerary please!) but fundamentally I loved this trip. Met lovely people. Saw amazing places and scenery. Food a bit meh but that's not why you go to either Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan. I loved the differences between the countries. Kyrgyzstan was unbelievably beautiful and Uzbekistan had amazing buildings.
