    Our tour with Steppe Journeys was excellent. We saw remarkable sites and learnt so much about the history and culture of Uzbekistan. It's difficult to name the highlight, but staying in villages with local families was a very authentic and memorable experience. Our guides and drivers were all friendly and professional, and were extremely helpful in sorting out any problems along the way. We would enthusiastically recommend this company and this tour to other travellers of any age.

    Excellent trip from start to finish. Very happy with all the sights visited in the short time. The only thing I would change is the time spent in Bukhara felt excessive and the time spent in Almaty was too short. If those could be switched around it is a perfect trip. Furthermore, the stay in Issyk Kul felt wasteful we literally drive hours and just stay there and head back to Bishkek the day after. It would be good to include a some activity or a short trip to the lake itself even if its the following morning. The guides were exceptional, Nurisa, Amin, Utkir and finally the best Nur-Mohamad.

    I started planning a trip to Uzbekistan back in July 2024 for summer of 2025. I reached out to Odil at Steppe Journeys asking for information on tours/drivers since I wasn't sure if they would work with a solo traveler. He was always prompt and detailed in his communication. I worked with Odil on solidifying the trip earlier in the year. He provided good guidance on timeframes for travel as well as sights to see. The best part of the experience was the knowledgeable tour guides and drivers. The tour guides all seemed like academics. Their knowledge on their respective cities is vast. They were kind and provided excellent recommendations. My driver for most of the trip was a wonderful person. We communicated as best as we could with the little English he knew. He always made sure I was comfortable. I will never forget his kindness. My driver in Tashkent, Bek (Khostorbek) went above and beyond. He also spoke excellent English. Unfortunately, my luggage was delayed. He took me back to the airport at 2:00 in the morning to retrieve my baggage. He was very accommodating and service-focused. Anything I asked was no problem for him. He is also very knowledgable on Tashkent. The accommodations were excellent. I even stayed in a madrassa in Khiva. Uzbekistan is a beautiful country with an amazing culture. I hope more and more tourists visit this special place. I am hoping to go back one day. Thank you Steppe Journeys for a wonderful experience!

      We have Uzbekistan and Tajikistan 11 Day tour and hope this is suitable for you. However we consider 3 star hotels on our tour and we can modify and upgrade for you in 5 star hotels. But 5 star hotels are available only in Tashkent, Samarkand and Dushanbe cities. In other cities the best available hotels are 4 star hotels and they are very good with international standards, facilities and location.
