Our trip to Uzbekistan with Silk Road Voyages took place from March 10 to 17, 2024. The tour turned out to be individual: only my friend and I. Travel to four cities: Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva. We didn't even imagine that our trip would be so wonderful! I'll start with the organization. All the details of the trip, the issues that arose, were resolved by the organizers promptly, tactfully and competently. At all stages, we were met by representatives of the company (drivers or guides) The transport was always on time, the drivers were all professionals. I would especially like to mention the driver in Tashkent, Davlat: responsive, positive, friendly. During the evening tour, he helped to take photos and videos, talked about interesting places in Tashkent. We traveled from Tashkent to Samarkand and from Samarkand to Bukhara on the Afrosiab high-speed train. It is also a special impression. A wonderful driver was also driving from Bukhara to Khiva (unfortunately, we didn't remember his name exactly). He found our Russian songs especially for us, and had a friendly conversation with us about life with them and with us, so that the 7 hours of travel did not seem very tiring to us. And even the landscapes outside the window: the endless desert on all sides. It seemed that you would get out of the car, step on the sand, and you would be covered with heat (although it was plus 5 outside). They were accommodated in the hotels Old Tashkent, Gur Emir Palace in Samarkand, Kavsar in Bukhara and the brand new Arslan Hotel in Khiva. Each hotel is good in its own way, with a national flavor, excellent breakfast, friendly and high-quality service. The tour routes are well thought out. We were amazed and fascinated by the parks, markets, fountains of Tashkent, the power and beauty of madrassas, mosques, mausoleums, minarets of Samarkand, trade domes, the Lyabi House ensemble, the Ark Citadel, the Samanid mausoleum of Bukhara, the ancient fortress of Khiva with the Juma Mosque, the Kalta Minor mine, the Pahlavan Mausoleum. And how beautiful are mosaics of all shades of blue and turquoise, Arabic script, carved doors, ganch carvings, multicolored silk carpets and national costumes. Wonderful guides helped us to understand, feel and love all this beauty. Nodir in Samarkand: a man who told us with great love and passion about the history, architecture, and customs of his country. No matter what questions we asked him, he had an answer to everything. We didn't pay attention to the cool weather or the rain that had been falling all day and were ready to listen to Nodir again and again. (At the meeting, Nodir, having learned that we did not have an umbrella, gave us his own, and mok himself in the rain until we checked into the hotel and took an umbrella there). Malika in Bukhara impressed us not only with her deep knowledge of the history, architecture, customs and traditions of her city, but also with a well-structured story, a sense of humor, sociability and benevolence. The two days spent with Malika flew by like a flash. It seemed that we had known each other for a long time. It was a pity to part with her. Once again, many thanks to the company for our wonderful journey. I would like to return to Uzbekistan someday. We recommend Silk Road Vjyages.

We express our gratitude to the Silk Road company for organizing the Tashkent-Samarkand-Bukhara-Khiva tour. A clear organization, professional guides, excellent hotels, and a quick solution to all emerging issues are the hallmarks of the company's work. One of the important points is the matching of the price and quality of the services provided. We hope to see you again!

We spent an unforgettable 7 days in Uzbekistan! We, 8 people (four married couples), made this fascinating journey thanks to the Silk Road Voyages company located in Bukhara. At our request, an individual tour for 7 days was organized, Tashkent-Samarkand- Shakhrisabz-Bukhara with transfers by Afrosiab. Based on the results of the trip we have already made, we can confidently recommend this company. Everything went perfectly, there's nothing to complain about. A shuttle service was organized in each city, we had a guide, a driver and a comfortable car with us. Wonderful hotels in the old center were offered to choose from. We liked all three hotels we stayed at very much. Drivers who know their business and wonderful guides. We all especially liked Madina, a guide to Samarkand and Shakhrisabz. Special thanks to her!!! But Lola in Tashkent and Kristina in Bukhara are also excellent guides. Overall, we were all very pleased with the trip! Uzbekistan has conquered us with its history, beauty, friendliness, cleanliness and neatness, comfort of hotels, good service and a desire to please tourists in all respects. Thanks to everyone: the company, the guides, the drivers, and the weather, which did not let us down. We traveled in the last week of March. It was warm, sunny, everything was blooming (one rain does not count).

The ideal chain of tour sales and sample service. I used to admire the way the sales chain in Turkey is arranged – from the selection of tours to the shops where you buy Turkish goods, because they are cheaper than in Russia or so it seems to you. But after visiting Uzbekistan, I realized that sales there are built even less intrusively and more efficiently. First, our friends who have already visited Uzbekistan and its pearls Samarkand and Bukhara, told us with admiration about these places and thereby sold the country itself. Since the reviews were great on all points, the first thing we did was contact the same travel agency. Turovuzbekistan.the Russian Federation has already selected a suitable tour for us, within which hotels and excursions. And already in hotels and on excursions we learn about restaurants and shops, while not as a signal to action and a mandatory visit, but as a good advice to friends. Let's pay tribute to our guides Malika and Madina, it was thanks to them that we experienced the culture and history of Uzbekistan. Everything was great at all stages of our journey. A clear meeting at the airport, delivery to the hotel, and in the morning acquaintance with the guide and everything is always on schedule and without haste and running around. Instead of 5 hours of the tour, we walked 7 and without additional payments, just out of love for our country. And the kitchen, and the shops, and the market are a separate story in general, everything is a joy and a pleasure. This is a long-term sale, not only for the tour, but also for your neighbor, for your city, for your country, for its prosperity. I got a good lesson for business, enjoyed the beautiful country and rich history, and at the same time had a rest. We will definitely return to Uzbekistan.

My friend and I went on a tour from Silk Road Voyages to the cities of Uzbekistan Tashkent-Samarkand-Bukhara-Khiva-Tashkent (from 06 to 13.10.2023, 7 days). When I ordered a tour from an Uzbek operator, there were worries and doubts. Everything turned out great! Thank you, Silk Road Voyages! Oriental fairy tale - 3M (mosques, minarets, madrasas)! I could not decide where I liked it more: multicolored Samarkand, the old city of Bukhara with its streets and shopping domes, or Khiva, which struck me with its compactness and the fact that ordinary people live next to monuments. It was interesting to look at the Kyzyl Kum desert, the Chimgan Mountains, cotton cultivation and try on oriental clothes, as well as cook wedding Bukhara pilaf and flatbreads in tandoor. Why did I go to Uzbekistan? For 50 shades of blue and turquoise! I couldn't get enough of majolica, ornaments and Arabic script! Uzbekistan surprised and amazed! I learned a lot of new things. If someone is thinking about going or not, definitely GO! Special thanks to our guide Nigina! Interesting and informative excursions, positive and cheerful attitude, always helped to solve certain issues! Organization of the tour at the highest level! Comfortable transfers, transfers by Afrosiyob trains, flights from Urgench. Time flew by imperceptibly. We were always helped with our heavy suitcases! And, of course, accommodation in hotels (Tashkent - Old Tashkent, Samarkand - Arhan Palace, Bukhara - Sahar Boutique, Khiva - Zarafshon Boutique). When we came in from the appearance of inconspicuous hotels, the first words were AWESOME! Beautiful, and somewhere luxurious rooms, friendly and helpful staff, delicious and rich buffet breakfast. I recommend it! A small fly in the ointment. On the last day we had an overnight tour at the Uzumfarmer winery: not an interesting tour, poor rooms and a meager breakfast, distance from Tashkent. I would advise to exclude this excursion from the tour. It is better to leave time for a walk around Tashkent. Silk Road Voyages and I recommend this tour!

Many thanks to the organizers of the New Year's Uzbekistan tour from January 2 to January 6. Julia, Maria - promptly answered all questions, drove like home. We learned a lot from the story from Ilkhom, I was able to intrigue that I wanted to study some points in more detail. Hotels are selected in national traditions, cuisine-I love the East. We regret that we did not take a tour with Khiva. But there will be a reason to come back.

Our trip to Uzbekistan took place from March 29 to April 05. Upon arrival, we immediately changed the money (rubles are also changed!), then bought a local SIM card, as recommended by the organizers. We were met, brought to the hotel, the rooms are clean, the breakfasts are delicious, minus that the porridge was too sweet))) From the beginning to the end, the guide Ilkhom was with us, a guide around the country, thank him for the warm welcome and acquaintance with Uzbekistan! The trip was comfortable, it's definitely worth going! Getting to know this country changes your attitude towards it🙏🏻 a lot of guests from Italy, France, China... come to look at the beauty and be inspired! Thank you for the good organization of our trip!

We ordered a week-long tour with a family of 3 people: Samarkand-Bukhara-Tashkent from 12/28/2023. The company's employees have worked 100%.. The administrators were always in touch, answering any questions that arose. Meeting at the airport and train stations, transfer everything is planned and organized, without delays and delays. The hotels are all on the level. The company helped with the organization of the New Year's Eve. The excursions are wonderful. Special thanks to the guides Malika and Eldar for informative excursions and creating a warm atmosphere. Great company.

We traveled to Uzbekistan with this company. The price on the market is the same as the others, but Silk Road Voyages has a richer program, and most importantly, Khiva is included!!! And even with the flight Urgench-Tashkent. Everything is organized perfectly. The hotels are all gorgeous!!! Transfers are all organized from and to. If there were any problems or wishes, everything was solved promptly. As the head said: "We will make everyone happy!" :) Which speaks of professionalism, reputation and care for the guests of Uzbekistan. I will recommend it to all my friends. To Uzbekistan only with you! Thank you very much.

Silk Road Voyages organized our trip for 6 people in October 2023 on the Tashkent (Chimgam) route- Samarkand (Shakhrisabz)- Bukhara-Khiva. The company was completely unfamiliar to us, but from the very beginning of communication it proved to be a true professional in its field, and in all aspects, starting with the elaboration of our individual program with numerous requests and questions, in terms of payment for the tour and its organization itself. Not a single glitch or delay. Transfers and hotels were always waiting for us and there were no problems. Special thanks to our guide, who was with us all the days of the tour - Shukhrat. Always on a positive wave, ready to help, find the best place for photos and lunch. And his knowledge of architecture, religion and love for his country can only be admired! Our first acquaintance with Uzbekistan exceeded our expectations. We would like to express our gratitude to all the employees of the companies who have been in touch with us all this time - Ilkhom, Yulia, Nigina, Maria. Good luck in your desired business!

From 04/24/24 to 05/01/24 we traveled around Uzbekistan together with the Silk Road Voyages travel agency. We would like to express our gratitude to all those involved! Everything was organized at the highest level (individual tour Tashkent - Samarkand-Yurt camp-Bukhara-Tashkent), all our questions and wishes were resolved promptly and efficiently. I liked everything-the organization of the transfer, friendly staff, service, hotels, travel along the route, guides, and of course the sights of Uzbekistan itself! I would like to express special gratitude to Lola, the guide in Tashkent (it was very interesting, informative and exciting, and what is not unimportant, very sincere), the driver Azim (I hope I remembered and wrote the name correctly ..., with whom we traveled to the yurt camp together) for attention, comfort and safety on the road. Thank you for an unforgettable experience, a comfortable stay, hospitality and cordiality!

Excellent organization of an individual tour. There were some magical guides in Samarkand and Bukhara. Sometimes it seemed to me that I did not have time to process all the information from them. Authentic hotels, meetings/transfers, everything went great. I will definitely recommend it!

When I was planning a trip to Uzbekistan with my 9-year-old daughter, it was important for me to make a tour so that we would have a completely free day in each city. I accidentally came across Silk Road Voyages in VK. I didn't have any recommendations, I read the reviews and took a chance. I was even afraid of my idea, since it was necessary to send an advance payment without visiting a travel agency and in general it was unusual. But! Already before the trip, Silk Road Voyages began to show their professionalism in organizing, caring for tourists and now I can give the best recommendations to this travel agency myself!!! Many thanks for organizing our vacation, for timely transfers (we had a tour to 3 cities), for super cool hotels - here I know that I say I run a hotel in St. Petersburg myself. To the wonderful guides, especially to the girls Lola and Kristina, who understand the needs of tourist girls in photos and everything else. We really liked everything! Only raptures and no complaints! I recommend this organization to everyone. And one more detail that shows the quality of Silk Road Voyages' work - they had the most beautiful sign of the greeters))) all other companies wrote almost by hand in the pictures)) and we approached our drivers like queens! I recommend it!

We have just returned from an 11-day trip to Uzbekistan. These guys organized the whole tour for us. And everything went very well, without a single jamb (it's even strange somehow :)). All tickets were purchased in advance, transfers and excursions were organized, very successful hotels were booked. We would especially like to mention Malika, the guide in Bukhara. She had an unforgettable time in this city. In general, we can recommend this company with a clear conscience if you decide to entrust someone with the organization of your vacation in this hospitable country.

At first I wanted to finish my trip to Urgench, but then I would not have considered the splendor of Tashkent in the light of day, and this was IMPORTANT to me. I really enjoyed the trip. She appreciated the attentiveness and conscientiousness of the managers (they noticed the discrepancy of the departure date in time), the erudition of the guide, she answered our questions even AT the END of the TOUR. thank you very much!
