About us
We organise travel across Central Asia — Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Private and group tours, tailor-made routes, and MICE programmes: corporate incentives, conferences, team-building and VIP events.
The region we work in is the living heritage of the Great Silk Road — a thousand years of history alongside the everyday life of five countries. Behind every enquiry we look for what you really want, and build the route around one strong idea, with transparent pricing and proper, official paperwork.
Explore ancient cities, mountain trails and working bazaars — with us you don’t just travel, you live the region’s history, taste and spirit. What stays with you afterwards is the feeling of being looked after, and the wish to come back.
Why you can trust us
A local team, not a reseller
We live and work in the region. We know which part of a city to stay in, which “excellent” hotel actually disappoints, and who to call if a flight is cancelled at night.
Transparent pricing
Every proposal itemises the cost of each service. Route planning and any revisions are free. No hidden mark-ups.
The whole trip in one place
Hotels, transfers, guides, meals, activities, flights, visas and insurance — across our region.
Fully licensed
A licensed Uzbekistan tour operator with tour-operator liability insurance. Payment by bank transfer or secure card acquiring only — never cash in hand.
Founder — Alexandra Tursunova
“Where others see one route, I see dozens of possibilities. The harder the task, the more interesting it is to solve.”
In tourism since 2005. Years of work at Uzbekistan’s leading inbound operators and thousands of guests welcomed from all over the world. My philosophy is simple: the perfect journey is born at the concept stage. A strong idea plus flawless organisation equals experiences that last a lifetime.
Team
Ksenia Kudryavtseva — Tour Operator
Working in tourism is what Ksenia dreamed of since childhood, and it shows in every detail. She runs each journey from the first email to the trip home and keeps dozens of small things in mind, treating none of them as minor. Behind every request she sees a person for whom it matters that everything goes perfectly.
Shohisher Tursunov — Business Development Manager
A certified project manager (PMP). Shohisher turns complex business logistics into a working system and finds the right call in the moment. Where a process stalls, he maps the route through.
Doniyor Tursunov — Social Media Specialist
Doniyor is at the start of his career — and that is his strength: social media today speaks the language of a new generation, and the future of communication belongs to it. The first results already speak for themselves. If you have a project you think might interest us, write to hello@aroundca.com.
Want to grow in tourism with us?
AroundCA is a small team that grows calmly and deliberately. We don’t hire in bulk, but we are always glad to meet strong professionals who share what we do.
We are interested in people who:
- love Central Asia and can bring it to life for guests from all over the world;
- see details through to the end and take responsibility for the result;
- are fluent in English — some tasks call for other languages too.
Most often we look for specialists in guest relations, sales and tour coordination. If your background is different but you think it could be useful to us — write anyway.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Why book with AroundCA instead of arranging it myself online?
Because a booking site gives you rooms; we give you a trip that actually works. We know which neighbourhood to stay in, which “great” hotel disappoints, how to sequence a route so you’re not backtracking, and who to call when a flight is cancelled at 11pm. You get a real person who lives in the region — not 40 open browser tabs and a gut feeling.
How much does your planning service cost?
Nothing. Our planning, proposals and revisions are free — we’re paid by the hotels and suppliers we book, at the same rates you’d pay them directly. Expert planning at no extra cost to you.
Is it more expensive than booking direct?
No. We pass through the rates our partners give us, and every proposal is itemised so you see exactly what you pay for. No hidden mark-ups, no fees buried at checkout.
Are you a licensed and insured company?
Yes — fully. We’re a licensed Uzbek tour operator (licence № 853484, registry L-41802557), issued by the Committee for Tourism of Tashkent and valid for domestic, inbound and outbound tourism. Our tour-operator civil liability is insured with APEX INSURANCE (policy EAPD № 1016716). Both documents are available on request.
How do I pay, and is it secure?
Everything is official and transparent. You can pay by bank transfer to our Uzbek company account, or through a secure payment link from our website — official internet acquiring protected by end-to-end encryption. If you prefer, you can also pay via our single company QR code. No cash-in-hand, no grey schemes.
Which destinations do you cover?
We operate across Central Asia — Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan — plus the Caucasus on request, in combination with a Central Asia route. If you don’t see your destination, ask anyway.
Do you also handle flights, visas and insurance?
Yes. We cover all air tickets, visas and travel insurance within our region — your whole trip arranged in one place.
What kind of trips do you plan?
All of them, as long as they’re tailored — honeymoons and romantic getaways, family holidays, luxury and premium escapes, and organised groups, incentives and corporate/MICE programmes.
Can I change the proposal after I receive it?
Yes — that’s the point. Adjust the pace, swap hotels, move dates, tweak the budget. We refine it together over as many rounds as you need, then you confirm.
What’s your cancellation and refund policy?
It depends on your specific booking. Cancellation terms usually follow the hotels’ penalty rules, and air tickets follow the official airlines’ fare conditions. We always show you the exact terms for your trip before you confirm — no surprises.
How do we stay in touch during the trip?
You have us on call throughout — by WhatsApp, phone or email. If a reservation slips or plans change on the ground, one message and we sort it.
