Customer Reviews
- YELENA· December 12th, 2024The Central Asia tour was extremely enjoyable and included a varied mix of history, old and new cities along the Silk Road, varied nature of canyons, mountains, lakes, deserts, and a mix of city and rural life. Wonderful people. Special thanks to our guides Svetlana and Ejesh. Our drivers, local guiedes and hosts. Thanks you, Intrepid.Show more
- Joanna· May 25th, 2023A great mix of Silk Road splendours with rural retreat. Our guide Jamshed was superb and greatly facilitated our group’s interaction with the people, places and cultures we encountered. Samarkand was a dream come true and Bukhara a surprise highlight. Our group strongly recommend the hammam visit as a great bonding experience and u can’t go past a bottle of Shtoff vodka for the price of a beer!Show more
- Glenn· October 6th, 2019Great trip! Saw great sights, stayed in very nice hotels (in general), and had great guides. My only negative comment is that there were a couple of days where they try to fit too much into the itinerary, so that we didn't eat dinner until very late (9:30 pm one night).Show more

Asked on November 21st, 2022Hi, I read that the Kyzylart - Bor Dobo border crossing is closed. Will this tour follow another route or will it be open? Thanks
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2022
Apologies for the delay in responding. Our product team will look at the board crossing closer to the first departure which is not until April 2023 to see if this planned itinerary can still be offered.

Traveler•Written March 2023hi, is the Kyzylart - Bor Dobo border still closed? If yes, would this tour still happen?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2023
The border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan is not open at the moment. We will review the status of the trip operation about 3 months before departure and inform our booked travelers accordingly.

Asked on May 9th, 2022How safe for a US citizen to Langar, being that it is part of Afghanistan?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2022
Safety information for Tajikistan Discovery tour: Few travellers will experience any safety issues in Kyrgyzstan if general precautions are followed. Take care if you go out after dark. Keep large amounts of money hidden at all times and be wary of strangers offering help or being over-friendly. Be particularly aware of your surroundings when using currency exchange offices. Avoid walking alone at night and don't travel in unofficial taxis. Carry your passport, or a certified copy, at all times: identification checks by police are common.
