- Emma· November 26th, 2024I highly recommend this trip. If you're considering going, don't hesitate—just go and get ready to experience the magic of Uzbekistan. You'll find respectful, knowledgeable guides, high-quality hotels, and excellent food. I return home feeling enriched. Thank you for an unforgettable, magical experience. I will never forget it.Show moreTrip date: November 2024
- Erik· November 16th, 2024The tour was excellent, with excellent planning and support. I would highly recommend it to anybody fortunate to visit Uzbekistan. Steppe Journey was incredibly helpful in adapting the itinerary to our needs, always with a quick response. This was especially impressive given the short timeframe in planning the trip, from the time that we first contacted the agency. All the tour guides and drivers were excellent and went beyond the call of service. This included spending time to answer our questions and to adjust the tour as necessary. Their suggestions on places to visit was excellent. The restaurants were all quite good and reasonably priced-- with many locals and few tourists. The Tashkent-based agent was in constant communication with us and highly responsive to our requests. Any logistical issues (and these were minor!) were quickly and efficiently resolved. In short, I would highly recommend the tour and the agency.Show more

Asked on March 20th, 2025I would be interested for the Uzbekistan 7 day trip! Is the trip to Samarkand included? In the section NOT INCLUDED I see "Tour guide to accompany". But I read earlier that tour guides were included so I'm a bit confused.
