    Day trip to Kokand.

    Excellent day trip from Tashkent got the train to Kokand on the way out. Saw 3 major sites there before having lunch and then driving back to Tashkent.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day trip to Kokand and had a great experience visiting the main sights, enjoying lunch, and returning comfortably to Tashkent. We truly appreciate your kind feedback and hope to welcome you again in Uzbekistan! 😊

    This tour is long and...

    This tour is long and concludes with a five hour drive back to Tashkent, so be prepared. But the tour itself is very good. You get to see the main sites of Kokand and travel into the Ferghana Valley. The visits to the workshops in Rishitan and Margilan are very interesting (be prepared to shop). The landscape is beautiful, so the large amount of time spent in the car is more interesting that one might expect. Dress comfortably, you will be doing a lot of riding in the car.

    Hidden gem

    Our guide Ulug Beg was very passionate about the history and culture of his country, particularly about the Fergana Valley, which is a bidden gem. It’s a long drive but it’s really worth it. Thank you so much, Ulug Beg!

    Fergana Valley Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tashkent.

    How much does Fergana Valley Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tashkent usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Fergana Valley Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tashkent is not rushed.

    Is Fergana Valley Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tashkent, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Fergana Valley Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Fergana Valley Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Fergana Valley Tour?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tashkent can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tashkent and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Fergana Valley Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tashkent within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tashkent?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tashkent experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Amirsoy, Chimgan & Charvak – A Full-Day Mountain Tour, Best Of Tashkent: Amirsoy Skiing Resort, Chimgan and Charvak Lake, Tashkent: Guided Walking & Food Tour with Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tashkent?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tashkent?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Fergana Valley Tour?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Lunch. Not included: Travel insurance; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Fergana Valley Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 16 listed pickup locations in and around Tashkent. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Fergana Valley Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
