- Samia· June 15th, 2025Amazing tour! The no. Of people was only 7 so it felt very intimate. Guides in each Stan were very knowledgeable and friendly (Gulshad for Turkmenistan, Miron and Ramiz for Uzbekistan, Sultan for Kyrgyzstan and Zhanner for Kazakhstan). The drivers were amazing too stopping whenever we requested and being present in a timely manner. Gulshad switched out the days allowing for Darwaza to be visited on day one with city tour on day 2. This was a good idea letting us rest better as the trip back to hotel from Darwaza could be past midnight. Grab a neck pillow for that car ride to and from Darwaza. Road is not the best. I was unable to go to Tajikstan as i had a single entry visa to Uzbekistan. Tajikstan is a day trip from Uzbekistan so if you require a visa to enter U'stan, make sure to select multiple entry in your application. However, i wasnt disappointed at all as Ramiz planned a trip to the Uzbekistan mountains With wonderful views and local lunch. Sultan was another friendly and amazing guide who was always available readily to take us to dinner etc after the end of the day. Zhanner made us feel like home although we spent only 1 day in Almaty with her. The tour is rich in culture and the people are very friendly. Food is amazing. 15 days pass by very quickly. Allow for flexibilty in the itinerary as things could change based on the grouo you travel or time in general. Overall, would highly recommend.Show more
- Matthew· May 8th, 2025Very interesting tour with a lot of history. Landscapes were beautiful and varied (one day you're in the desert, next in mountains, next in steppe). Some of the hotels were great but some weren't up to scratch. Lots of travel on the road (which is in part expected as most tours for this region will do 20+ days so this tour is kind of the express option). It meant some days were back to back travelling which was exhausting (feels some cases it might have been avoidable with a flight). Still, felt like we saw everything we'd want to in region in two weeks!Show more
- Sharon· April 30th, 2025A very busy tour with long days, Turkmenistan needs to be changed getting back At 12.30 am and leaving at 4.30am the next morning is not ok especially after arriving in the morning the day before and starting the tour. The sights at Mary were not worth visiting would have been better to fly to Uzbekistan and continue rather than going to Mary. We had a good group which helpedShow more

Asked on April 18th, 2024Use of a collapsible wheelchair?
- Central Asia Travel LP Operator•Written April 2024
It is possible to travel with a collapsible wheelchair but complicated a bit since the infrastructure is not developed enough. The old cities consist of steps and thresholds and other obstacles for a wheelchair, unfortunately. In case you can mix the chair with walking - that will fine, and the trip will be recommendable.
