Tailor-made tours of Uzbekistan

What “tailor-made” means with us

We start from your wishes, not from a fixed package. Everything below can be changed, and where something depends on availability, we tell you straight away.

Route

Which cities and how many nights in each: Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, or the Fergana Valley, Karakalpakstan, the mountains or a neighbouring country.

Dates

Any dates that suit you, festivals and holidays included. Afrosiyob seats and small old-town hotels sell out in spring and autumn, so the earlier you write, the more choice you have.

Pace

Early starts and full days, or one or two sights in the morning and a free afternoon. After a long transfer, we plan an easy day.

Hotels

The level you want: family-run guesthouses and boutique hotels in the old towns, or large modern hotels. Every hotel is named in the plan.

A guide in your language

For all twelve languages of this site, a guide who speaks your language is included. For other languages, we offer an English-speaking guide, or look for a guide in your language on request.

Transport

A car or minibus with a driver, the Afrosiyob high-speed train, domestic flights, or a mix of them, depending on the route and your group.

Special requests

• Food: vegetarian, kosher or another diet. Tell us in advance, and we plan the restaurants and meals to match; tell us about allergies too.
• Children: shorter days, breaks and things children enjoy, such as a pottery workshop or the fast train. Tell us their ages, and we plan around them.
• Mobility: if you use a wheelchair or find steps difficult, tell us when you write. Old towns have uneven paving and some sites have stairs; we tell you where, and plan cars, stations and hotel rooms with you.

3. A plan within 24 hoursWithin 24 hours of getting your details, we send a day-by-day itinerary with the hotels named and every line itemised, so you see what each part costs.
4. RevisionsChange cities, hotels, pace or dates as many times as you need. Revisions are free.
5. BookingWhen the plan is right, we send a contract and an invoice. A deposit secures your dates; the balance is due before arrival.
