    · November 30th, 2024
    The itinerary was intense and compact and covered the many places of interest in a relatively short time. There was sufficient time for taking in the sights and ample time to do your own things and to rest. Accommodations provided were very near or right next to the sights and thus driving around was reduced to a minimum. Vehicles provided were very good with lots of leg room.

    Can you confirm if they can book this tour?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Steppe JourneysOperatorWritten February 2025

      her age is okay unless she has problems with health like walking or high altitude sickness. Both tours are moderate and not difficult for senior travelers if they are fit and healthy.

    • S

      Sheila

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      I'm booking BOTH tours, so thanks! I realize you have a one that combines both, but I don't want to go to Turkmenistan due to the border crossing hassles I've read about.

    • S

      Sheila

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      I picked this one instead of the "boutique" because it mentions the possibility of a yurt stay for one night, which I'd enjoy, if possible, but if no one else wants to (or if everyone else signs up for the "boutique" option), I'm okay with switching to it. Bottom line, I'd rather be traveling with others than by myself.

    • Steppe JourneysOperatorWritten February 2025

      we will discuss it with the other members of the group and if some more want to stay in Yurt we will arrange a night there.
