- Sandra· April 1st, 2024I loved it :) very well planned and executed. I could just follow the lead of the driver and guides. Most guides were very well prepared and adjusted well to changes. The driver was very kind and considerate. There were some minor problems with the hot water at my last hotel but the staff fixed it quite quickly.Show more
- James· July 8th, 2025My wife and I were generally pleased with the total experience. There were a few hiccups but our main contact, Ben, was fast to respond to us. He was our lifeline!Show more
- Winfried· June 20th, 2025Unfortunately one day less on the river than stated when booking. Good facilities; spacious, clean cabin. Spacious upper deck. Very good organization of the interesting excursions. The trip through the three gorges was really great, although the constant soundtrack from the commentator, who spoke only mediocre English, would have been dispensable. The food was varied and of excellent quality. Overall very good price/performance ratioShow more

Larry
Asked on August 15th, 2024We are both very active in our early 60s. We prefer to travel with a 50 plus group which includes plenty of walking including maybe some hiking. Is this possible? We have the 5 Stan's plus Georgia in mind.
Silk Road TripsOperator•Written August 2024I know that you inquired about the The Five Stans of the Silk Road tour. This will be a tour that has a wide mix of travelers age ranges. The company, G Adventure, does tend to attract many younger travelers as well. These three will be operated by local guides and tend to attract our more mature travelers.

Asked on February 21st, 2023What is the charge for having your own room?
- Silk Road TripsOperator•Written February 2023
Turkmaniastan is not yet re-open the tourism, but we think it will be re-open soon. Now the four-stan tour is open to book, would you like to travel these 4-stans?

Michelle
Asked on February 3rd, 2023Could you please let this traveller know if this tour is a guaranteed departure date?
- Silk Road TripsOperator•Written February 2023
We cannot guarantee the departure date because the tour is not that popular. We will let you know when we got another traveler to run the tour based on 2 travelers. If the traveler is happy to pay extra, we can run it as solo private tour. The extra tour cost is USD4999 for solo traveler for 4-stans.

Asked on January 1st, 2023Will you give LOI for Turkmenistan to get visa?
- Silk Road TripsOperator•Written January 2023
Turkmenistan is not yet open due to the Covid -19. Other stans are reopen. You have to wait if you want to go there, we have no idea when it will reopen, but should be soon.

Wendy
Asked on July 23rd, 2022What is single supplement? Will visas/entry requirements be covered? If not, is there time for me to do whatever is required and be able to enter the various countries for the August 27 or even August 20 trip?
- Silk Road TripsOperator•Written July 2022
Could I know your nationality? Because the stans do not need visa for some nationalities except Turkmenistan.
