We, pensioners from St. Petersburg, made a wonderful trip to Uzbekistan: Tashkent-Samarkand-Bukhara in the period of 27.10 – 1.11.2024. We are very pleased with the socio-economic success of the state, from the respectful attitude of people towards tourists, from the courtesy and pleasant attention of staff in hotels and museums, shops and bazaars, meeting and escorting drivers and flight attendants on board Uzbek Airlines liners. Thanks to the staff of the tour operator Central Asia Travel for the excellent organization of the route and a pleasant vacation along the route for older people. Special thanks to the excellent guide T. Kamulitdinov. A highly trained guide. He knows the history. He presents historical material unobtrusively and objectively. Timur is respectful and attentive, caring and helpful. Many thanks to Uzbekistan. Happy New Year to the people of the country, success and prosperity. New Year's greetings to all the organizers of our tour.
We were in Uzbekistan from 09. 03 to 14. 03. 2025.
We would like to thank the tour guides: Rakhmat Akmalov and Khalide Ablaev. The tours were conducted with an individual approach, the guides are attentive, responsive, highly qualified, deeply knowledgeable about the history of their country.
Thank you for the wonderful excursions in Tashkent and Samarkand!
We had a great time!
Uzbekistan tour from September 18 to 28!!!!!!! Some rave reviews !!!! Thank you for the beautiful country, for the warm welcome, for the WONDERFUL GUIDE Irina Kudyanova!!!!!!! Irina traveled with us from Tashkent to Khiva!!!!! Great excursions, interesting stories, great interest in providing information!!!! A huge plus
Irina for showing us the mosques in the evening light !!! It's an amazing sight!!!! And another huge plus- (and a plus for our group of 30 people) This is what we came to ,, facilities ,, first and walked almost without a crowd !!!!! In a word, THANK YOU, IRINA!!!! In Khiva, we were met by Sayora Kurbanova, also a wonderful guide. And there were wonderful excursions here!!!! Special thanks to our drivers Umat and Kurban, without their skill,(and we had a bus tour, with long journeys ) We 'd have to wake up!!!! One huge minus, (but this does not apply to the tour in any way !!!!!) - this is the road from Nukus to the Aral Sea!!!!! Probably we should put the administration in a minibus and take it along this road a couple of times!!!! But, as always, all the minor negativity goes away and only enthusiastic impressions remain!!!!! Thank you so much for organizing the tour!!!!!!

Hello!
I returned from the Orient Express tour (19.01.2025-25.01.2025) and I want to thank the organizers, guides and drivers for an unforgettable vacation in Uzbekistan. Everything was organized perfectly.
Separately, I would like to express my gratitude to the wonderful guide Akmalov Rakhmat Akzamovich for the most interesting walks around Tashkent and a trip to the Chimgan Mountains. Rakhmat Akzamovich is the highest professional, a teacher from God, deeply knowledgeable about the history, culture, flora and fauna of Uzbekistan, and able to provide information in a fascinating, accessible and logical way. Rakhmat Akzamovich uses a large number of visual materials in his work: herbarium, samples of fabrics and natural dyes, mosaics, maps, diagrams, photographs. Due to the clarity, it is easier for tourists to remember a large amount of new information. In addition, I would like to mention Rakhmat Akzamovich's subtle sense of humor, his positivity, benevolence and patience.
I would also like to thank the wonderful guides Khalida Ablayeva and Akmal Khamrayev for their wonderful walks around Samarkand and Bukhara. It is felt that the guides are very passionate about their work and are very happy to share their knowledge. Information is provided in a systematic and consistent manner, which makes it easier to assimilate it.
Thank you so much for the wonderful guided tours!
I was lucky not only with the guides, but also with the weather: despite the fact that it is winter, the weather was comfortable, sunny, and there was no snow. In winter, there are fewer people in tourist places, which makes it possible to walk around and take good photos.
I was also very lucky to meet friendly people. Uzbeks are very hospitable and welcoming people who will always help even a stranger.
I hope that one day I will be able to return to Uzbekistan, because there are so many interesting things there!
We thank the tour operator for our wonderful tour of Uzbekistan.I want to highlight the guide - Najafali Burkhanov.A very interesting and competent story about the history of the country.Polite.Courteous.educated-we are absolutely delighted!The transport support is excellent.Hotels and meals are on top!!!thanks everyone.who made our vacation great!!!!
A few years ago, we used the service of this agency. Mr. Willy organized an individual excursion route according to our time frame.
We had wonderful guides in every city, professional and interesting people. Excellent drivers, neat, polite, cars are clean, well-groomed, good hotels are selected.
We were very pleased with the trip. A unique, ancient fairy tale that has survived to our time. And with such service and hospitality... I want to come again!
Thanks!
In my opinion, the coolest travel agency in Uzbekistan! I have been with them on city tours in Uzbekistan and on active tours in the mountains. Real professionals! Thank you so much for the impressions you have given me and my family! Success and prosperity to you! ✌️😉
My husband, daughter and I from St. Petersburg were going to the Lenin Peak camp. I was looking for a company and called Central Asia Travel. They talked to me, but they told me to send a request by email. I didn't like it (I already called), and I decided to use the services of another company. However, after a while I decided to write, and they answered me literally within a few minutes. Unfortunately, at that time I made an advance payment to another company, which could not be canceled and did not use the services of Central Asia Travel. 😡
🚶♀🚶♂But when we arrived at our camp, my husband and I decided to take a walk to the Central Asia Travel camp. To say that he impressed us is to say nothing!😃😃! It was the highest level of comfort at an altitude of 3,500 meters.
But the first thing that deeply shocked us was the hospitality and cordiality of the owner of the company, Viktor Viktorovich, who met us at the camp, conducted an amazing tour of all the facilities, allowed us to see absolutely everything!
❗❗ This person is a real fan for his work, he notices the slightest nuances that need to be corrected or improved on the territory of the camp, and immediately gives instructions to his subordinates.
We could not pass by, and despite the fact that we already had paid accommodation and meals elsewhere, we decided to move to the camp of Central Asia Travel for the remaining two days (we were lucky that there was a free yurt for a couple of days), but there are many tourists in the camp and all from different countries. We were treated like honored guests! Incredible hospitality, comfort and customer orientation!!!
And now in order: cozy tents for two with comfortable beds, mattresses and the cleanest bed linen, as well as a heater, light in the tent.
There are excellent showers and toilets on site, as well as a magnificent sauna, which is included in the price of accommodation and meals (We used it with great pleasure).
But since there were three of us, we chose a beautiful yurt with three comfortable beds, a private shower and toilet.
Two separate large yurts are designed for dining. Oh my God, it was a real restaurant with great beautiful dishes and appliances, as well as amazing waitresses who constantly served you, bringing dishes, changing them, checking if you need an addition, if everything is fine! In addition to three meals a day, organized by one of the best chefs in Tashkent, Shukhrat, we learned the secrets of cooking pilaf. The three meals a day include delicious salads, national dishes, desserts, pastries, and we were also given melons, watermelons, and fruits. In addition, at any time in the dining room we could drink tea or coffee with sweets, cookies and other sweets that were never cleared from the table. On the territory there is a volleyball court, recreation yurts where you can play board games or sing songs with a guitar. There is also a laundry room on site where you can order laundry, there is a small shop with souvenirs, soft drinks, as well as luggage storage and safes. In addition, Viktor Viktorovich told us in detail where you can go hiking and what to see, because we could not use the trekking tours provided by this company, since there were only 4 days, and the tours are about 7 days. In any service, you can find flaws, flaws, cons, but with such an attitude you do not want to do this, and there is no need! But it was heaven anyway! We were given the keys to paradise when we paid for our stay, and all the remaining days I enjoyed my stay there and was infinitely grateful to all the employees of this friendly team!!! I want to say thank you so much all the time for unforgettable impressions!!!
P.S. By the way, using the example of this company, I became convinced that sometimes it's worth writing a request as the company asks, and not ignoring it for not responding to your request on the phone. Perhaps she really had a lot of applications from other large clients, and did not have the physical ability to accept applications over the phone. I would like to wish you good luck, development, good guests, as well as love, health and happiness!
