- 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
- Sandra· September 20th, 2024The trip was very well organized by Silk Road Tour. The local tour guide and program were well coordinated and offered great insights with opportunities for independent exploration. A delicious and varied lunch was the daily highlight. The group was nice and small with four people. The tour guide and driver were responsive to special requests and I felt safe and comfortable.Show more
- Kathrin· July 21st, 2024I booked two consecutive tours with Silk Road Tours and Programme and organisation were perfect and in line with the description. Guides were very friendly and flexibe to accomodate individual wishes (special food, visits outside the programme etc); the large majority also had a very good background on local culture and history. Transportation was always ok, food was always good and accomodations as well. A very big thanks to Ben Yan from Silkroad for his perfect support answering my many individual questions and requests.Show 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.

- 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.
