6- Day Private Tour to Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand

Amazing Silk Road trip

I've always wanted to explore the cities on the Silk Road and I was happy when I stumbled upon this tour. From the beginning everything went smoothly: if there were any issues that appeared I was contacted in advance to discuss the necessary adjustments so that the trip wouldn't have to be affected. They were also always available for my questions which they answered everytime as soon as possible. Thank you Ulugbek for organizing this amazing trip. We couldn't have asked for a better organizer. It was so convenient to have even the taxis organized for us, to be picked up to and from the airport or train stations. I would also like to mention the tour guides we had: Ziyad in Tashkent, who told us funny anecdotes, explained local customs, and took us to our first ever plov (pilaf) restaurant; Sevara who took us through the history of Khiva and made a great restaurant recommendation; Nargiza in Bukhara who beautifully explained the history of Uzbekistan, the history of the Silk Road, myths and legends of Bukhara and took us to a beautiful cafe with amazing views of the city; and last but not least Aziza in Samarkand who revealed to us the role of the city on the Silk Road, told us the history of Amir Timur and took us to an amazing restaurant with traditional Uzbek food. Talking to all of them really made us better understand Uzbek culture and it was great to discuss and compare our different ways of life. Uzbek people although they might seem serious when you first meet them, they are warmhearted, kind and very hospitable.

Response from the operator: Gentile Cliente, La ringraziamo per aver condiviso la sua esperienza e per aver apprezzato l'organizzazione del tour, la puntualità dei taxi, la qualità delle guide e il rispetto del programma. Siamo inoltre lieti che abbia gradito il viaggio in cuccetta sul treno. Ci dispiace, tuttavia, che il servizio non abbia pienamente soddisfatto le sue aspettative in merito alla conoscenza della lingua da parte delle guide. Comprendiamo il disagio di avere guide prevalentemente anglofone, nonostante il tour fosse in italiano. L'abbiamo informata che le nostre guide di lingua italiana erano impegnate al momento della prenotazione. Il suo feedback è molto importante e ci aiuterà a migliorare l'organizzazione dei tour futuri, garantendo il rispetto delle nostre promesse. Siamo lieti che, nel complesso, il servizio le sia sembrato di suo gradimento e speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente in futuro per offrirle un'esperienza ancora migliore. Cordiali saluti,

Fabulous, memorable & informative trip

Fantastic, informative & enjoyable trip. It was so well organised by Ulugbek, everything went according to plan. All the drivers & guides were excellent, punctual and professional. Nargiza was exceptional in Bukhara, she gave a most memorable today Being able also to adjust the trip and add on another trip was great. We added on & thoroughly enjoyed the 7 lakes trip with Islom& Ardik. Islom explained very well about the border which was a scene & a bit stressful. Ardik gave us a fabulous day. My husband wanted to birdwatch there and Ardik was extremely flexible & accommodating especially when it came to stopping, We opted for the accommodation option and all the hotels were very good bar the one in Tashkent but this is my only complaint of the whole trip. I thoroughly recommend this trip, it’s captures so much and you can adjust it too when it has been booked. You wont be disappointed.

Response from the operator: Dear Therese Shorten, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed feedback. We are truly delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic, informative, and enjoyable trip with us. It is especially rewarding to know that the tour organization met your expectations and that everything went smoothly throughout your journey. We will be very happy to pass your kind words on to Ulugbek, Nargiza, Islom, and Ardik — they will be thrilled to know they helped make your experience so memorable. We are particularly pleased that you enjoyed the added 7 Lakes trip and appreciated the flexibility to customize your itinerary. It’s great to hear that Ardik’s accommodation to your husband’s birdwatching interests made the experience even more special. Thank you as well for your honest comment regarding the hotel in Tashkent. We truly value this feedback and will review it carefully as we continuously work to improve our services and accommodation standards. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we are very grateful for your trust. We hope to welcome you again in the future for another unforgettable adventure. Warm regards, Ulugbek

5/5 stars !!!

5/5 stars !!! Two of the best guides we’ve ever had — Aziza & Nargiza, Silk Tour Uzbekistan. We were incredibly lucky to have both Aziza and Nargiza as our guides in Uzbekistan, and honestly, they were both outstanding. It’s rare to find one guide this good, let alone two on the same trip. Both Aziza and Nargiza were incredibly patient and kind to our whole group. No matter how many questions we asked, they answered happily and never made us feel rushed. You could immediately see their genuine passion for Uzbekistan — its history, culture, and people. Aziza brought every mosque and monument to life. She didn’t just point things out; she shared the rich history and stories behind each site with so much detail that we could actually understand and remember them. Nargiza matched that same energy. She explained everything with such enthusiasm and made sure we grasped the meaning behind each place we visited. What impressed us most was how well they managed the entire trip. Between the two of them, they made sure every accommodation was sorted, every request we made was included, and we still kept to schedule. Not a single thing we asked for was missed, and nothing ever felt rushed or overlooked. They both went above and beyond to accommodate all of us. And not forgetting the amazing butter chicken restaurant Nargiza brought us to — such a great find! If you’re heading to Uzbekistan with Silk Tour, ask for Aziza or Nargiza. They are genuinely two of the best and made our trip absolutely unforgettable. Thank you, Aziza and Nargiza!

Travel in Tajikistan

It's a very interesting trip but be prepared for a crossing at the border, I would say, particular, at least it was for us. We were walking and it was raining.
