Unforgettable Uzbekistan: 8-Day Private Silk Road Odyssey

- Everything was well organized, before departure the original planning was slightly changed based on our preferences and the availability of the domestic flights. - The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. - The accomodations were confortable and in very good locations.

The 8-Day trip was an amazing experience filled with breathtaking moments where I got the Chance to learn the history from really knowledgeable and passionate guides, and see a ancient cities of the Silk Road like Bukhara, Khiva and Samarqand that were made possible by logistical and careful planning by Amir and his team. He ensured that every step of the way there was a driver, a train ticket and he was always a call away in every situation, which was helpful in a beautiful but foreign country. Truly an unforgettable experience for me. I’m so grateful I was able to see this remarkable country.

Samarkand and Bukhara are two amazing cities that will take you centuries back in history. The architecture is unique and stunning especially at night. The food is great and the people are very hospitable. A must visit

I am an over 65, female solo traveler. I always felt safe with all aspects of this tour: hotel location, drivers, guides, trains, etc. Additionally, the ancient/medieval/modern sights, tastes, city/mountain/countryside vistas were simply amazing. A dream of more than 40 years is fulfilled. Ah!

Uzbekistan is a lovely place with friendly warm people and great historical sights Food is good ( even for vegetarians in the bigger cities) This whole tour was problem free from the time we booked and pre arrival through every day of it / great organisation and communication from Amir, Excellent guides and drivers - all on time everywhere , gave us good information and an understanding of the places we visited (Tashkent Khiva Bukhara Samarkand) Hotels were also at the centre of places visited and all good ( we went in the low season so was not crowded which for us was good) All in all a great tour - thank you all very much!

I highly recommend the Uzbekistan 8-day Tashkent-Khiva-Bukhara-Samarkand-Tashkent tour by the Silk Tour agency! Not only is Uzbekistan an interesting mixture of cultures, the history and architecture along the Silk Road are certainly worth a visit. The food as well as the people are fantastic. I particularly want to mention Mr. Amir M. from the Silk Road agency who was responsive to our every need; I could send a text in the middle of the night, which he would still answer in a friendly and professional manner. He also selected the best tour guides in each city for us: -In Khiva, besides lots of historic data, Mr. Ulugbek regaled us with charming personal history passed down by his grandmother. -In Bukhara, Ms. Ghuli took us on a tour of the city at our pace and told us all about the fascinating history of the cultural and educational sites. -In Samarkand, Mr. Timur was not only our guide, but also our personal professional photographer. -In Tashkent, Ms. Anna helped us negotiate with the vendors at Chorsu Bazaar and was the most humble and gracious guide we could have wished for to conclude our trip. I would like to thank Mr. Amir, all the wonderful guides, and the respectful, patient, and kind drivers for an unforgettable experience!

From the first interactions with Amir, I had a very good feeling about this trip. He was detail oriented and proactive. The tour was incredibly well organized, and all the drivers were always waiting for us when we arrived at our destinations. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and excited to share their love for Uzbekistan. We especially loved our guide in Tashkent who went above and beyond to provide us with an authentic experience there. The order of the tour is perfect and I would suggest ending in Samarkand (they are happy to customize and add any location you would like). We added in a day tour to Seven Lakes in Tajikistan. It is so beautiful there, but just be prepared for a bumpy road! We have done a significant amount of traveling, and we were both so impressed with this tour. Amir truly does everything he can to make sure all their guests have the best possible time in Uzbekistan. I can honestly say this trip exceeded our expectations in every way. If you are considering a trip to Uzbekistan, I highly recommend this tour!

This was a fantastic trip through a country in Central Asia - Amir organised the trip thoroughly and we never encountered any problems - all pick ups and excursions were fab and I highly recommend this trip to see the sights dessert and cities within the shortest possible time frame

Amir fr Silk tours was extremely helpful and arranged excellent guides for us. They were all very knowledgeable, namely Tulkin in Khiva, Behrus in Bukhara, Jusra in Samarkhand and Nusrat in Tashkent. They were made sure we visited all the historical places. And also introduced good places to eat their local cuisines. I had some problem while flying out of Tashkent. Amir spoke to the officer and helped me to ease the clearance. I will definitely booked tours again through him and his tour agency.

Well organized tour with nice hotels and very good guides. Amazing Islamic architecture. The old town section of Khiva is out of this world. Uzbekistan is a safe and clean country, the locals are honest and proud with no harassment to buy good or services. I also highly recommend the extra day tour from Samarkand to the 7 lakes in Tajikistan. Keep in mind that the train stations can be somewhat chaotic so it is important to have the names of the hotels available in advance in case you miss your assigned driver; taxis are really inexpensive.
