8-day Uzbekistan Classic Tour8 Days | Private | All year round | Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva

I had a truly wonderful trip in Uzbekistan and feel very fortunate to have had such a special experience. Everything went very smoothly, and I was very satisfied with the tour overall.
All of the guides I met during the trip were kind, professional, and knowledgeable, and I was very happy with their support. I would especially like to mention Islom and Munira, who made my experience particularly memorable.
Islom was very polite and always paid attention to how I was feeling physically. He was also flexible and adjusted the sightseeing plan when necessary. At the Shah-i-Zinda Ensemble, he answered my question about why the tiles are blue. He also introduced me to a samosa restaurant where I could experience more of the local atmosphere, which I really enjoyed.
Munira was also an excellent guide. Her Japanese was very fluent, and I enjoyed talking with her. Her explanation of Mashkab at Chashma-Ayub was particularly interesting, as it was something I would not have learned simply by researching on my own in Japan.
The guides did not simply explain the sights from a textbook perspective. They helped me understand Uzbekistan through stories, local experiences, and historical context that I would have found difficult to learn on my own in Japan. This was one of the things that made the trip especially meaningful for me.
I would also like to give special thanks to Farhod. He was an excellent driver, and even during the long drives, I did not feel carsick. He was cheerful, humorous, and easy to talk to, so I actually enjoyed the long journeys because of our conversations.
The other drivers were also reliable, and all the transfers went smoothly.
I was very satisfied with all the hotels. They were clean, conveniently located, and the staff were very hospitable. I also enjoyed the breakfasts, which had a good variety of food and were delicious.
I was very impressed with the overall arrangements. My requests, including my seat preferences for the train and flight and the packed breakfast in Tashkent, were all understood and communicated to the local staff.
The coordination between the guides, drivers, and hotels was very smooth. I also thought the itinerary was very well designed, with a good balance between sightseeing and free time. I never felt rushed.
The Jaloliddin Manguberdi train was also a memorable part of the trip, and I was glad that this was arranged instead of a sleeper train.
I was especially grateful to you, Renata, for paying such close attention to the details. Your careful arrangements gave me peace of mind and allowed me to simply enjoy my time in Uzbekistan.

Thanks for organizing an amazing trip. We had a really great time and loved everything about Uzbekistan.
The guides were all fantastic and knowledgeable and they enthusiastically shared information. We loved learning about your history. Dili and Chorus are so warm and friendly. We really enjoyed spending time with them. The drivers very polite and kind. They never lost their way and the cars were clean and very comfortable.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for organising such a wonderful trip. It was truly a very special experience that I will remember for a long time.
I was especially impressed by the excellent guides, who shared so much interesting knowledge with great enthusiasm and passion. You could really feel how dedicated they were in every tour.
It was also an unexpected and very pleasant surprise that I had the same driver throughout the journey between Khiva and Samarkand. This made the trip even more comfortable and personal, and I appreciated it very much.
I would also like to thank you for checking in with me during the trip. It made me feel well taken care of and supported at all times.
Once again, thank you very much for the perfect organisation, your thoughtful care, and this wonderful travel experience.

Thank you so much for our amazing tour of Uzbekistan! The trip exceeded our expectations.
All the hotels were clean, conveniently located with very good breakfast.
Our itinerary was modified to meet our requests to see Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva.
Express train Tashkent-Samarkand was comfortable and clean. Our drivers were always on time, polite, professional, and ready to accommodate our needs. The cars were sparkly clean, we had bottled water, AC for pleasant rides.
Our guides were knowledgeable and we felt during excursions very welcomed to Uzbekistan.
Architecture, people, safety, warmth of every place we visited are unforgettable.
Oh, and of course local food! Plov, somsa, manty, tea, dried fruit; fresh strawberries and Samarkand halva - we definitely have to see Uzbekistan again!

The tour was excellent overall - definitely a 5-star experience. What I enjoyed most was the flexibility. Within reason, the guides and the driver were very accommodating and helped me think through the options so I could make the best decisions on a daily basis. That made the whole trip feel more personalised and comfortable.
The quality of the guides, transportation, and accommodation was excellent. The guides, and especially the driver, were knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely warm, kind people, which made a real difference throughout the journey.
The itinerary was very well balanced and enjoyable. You helped me configure it so that it would be fast-paced, and that was exactly what I wanted, so in that sense it matched my expectations very well.

The trip was amazing, we enjoyed it very much. Guides, drivers and hotels were really good! Every single detail was in order. Samarkand really nice... but Bukhara and Khiva were outstanding.
Thanks to Fahriddin and Farid!! Also many thanks to Dimitri (Dima), Zarina, Dilya and Saida: the four of then really know in detailed history of the 4 cities we visited.
We already recommended you to our friend to do the same trip.

Our trip to Uzbekistan was really outstanding.
We are travelling a lot… and this country was really surprise for us.
The itinerary was planned perfectly… all the guides are perfect with a lot of knowledge and very nice and people. Also our driver Jamal was perfect and the fact that he was available for us from the morning until night was very convenient.
All the hotels and restaurants met our expectations.
I also want to mention that all the connections with you was very kind and professional.
We will sure recommend your company to our friends.
I’m sending some pictures from our wonderful trip and I will write review in the site.

From the minute we arrived until we were dropped off at the airport for our departure, we were well taken care of. The hotels were excellent. The drivers were friendly, prompt and punctual. The tour guides demonstrated a thorough understanding of the cities history as well as the historic sights. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Outstanding trip, very well planned with attention to details, highly recommend it. Guides, drivers and arrangements were exceeding all expectations. One of the best trips of my life. This is from the one who has travelled most of this world, all continents.

Went on a private tour to Uzbekistan (Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva), with side day-trips to Kazakhstan (Turkistan), Tajikistan (Seven Lakes in Fann Mountains) and Turkmenistan (Konya-Urgench) organized by Anvar @ Advantour. Beautiful country, great food, super-safe with super-friendly locals. Everything well organized. Took speed trains between Tashkent and Samarkand and Samarkand and Bukhara, then a private transfer to Khiva. The drivers met with name plates at every train station. I highly recommend business class on Afrosiyob trains. The tour guides: Valentina in Samarkand, Feruz in Bukhara and Sayeeda in Khiva were fluent in English and super-knowledgeable (I learned a ton). The drivers were very professional and always on time. Anvar was always available on a short notice every time I had questions. Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are some of the most amazing places on earth. Highly recommended across the board.

We are very happy to be in Uzbekistan. Till now we are very satisfied of everything and everybody.
Guides and drivers are great, hotels very good. Thanks so much. The family was also very kind and nice.

We are back in Houston after very enjoyable and well-planned trip to Uzbekistan by you, all the drivers and guides were excellent and very knowledgeable, all the hotels were excellent and comfortable. We really thank you for giving us such a wonderful and amazing trip , I am going to refer you to all my friends and relatives.
Once again thanks a lot.

Our private 17-day tour was amazing. Shavkat from Advantour had the professional skills and patience to plan our travel meticulously and adapt all to our wishes and our age. He helped us plan the travel and provided support throughout our stay. Everything was taken care of: travel (plane, chauffeured car, train); hotels were very well located, comfortable, clean with kind staff. We had knowledgeable guides in Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand - charming and attentive Fariza, Mahfirat, Hilola, Belova, Dilnoza, All the drivers were highly professional and most attentive. Jamila hosted a dinner for my husband and me in her home in Samarkand. Lovely dinner, beautiful mother and daughter. To sum up: highly recommended travel to Uzbekistan, and highly recommended agency and its staff.

First of all thank you for your work and your attenction about my little big problems: the fame of you and your travel agency are absolutely justified.
We have fallen in love with your country since the first step we have made in Tashkent: people are friendly, courteous and hospitable, things that immediately strike the traveler. And everyone wants to help you, even if they don't understand what you say, and you don't understand what they say!
I don't want to bore you with things you already know about how beautiful and interesting your country is, so I'll get to the point:
the guides: prepared, courteous, friendly, ready to satisfy our every curiosity, Gulia showed us every aspect of Tashkent in a wonderful way, Malika satisfied every curiosity, Sher gave us advice and "tips" that were very useful and last but not least, Nilufar overwhelmed us with her spontaneity and enthusiasm that still today thinking about it makes me smile.
The drivers were no less, I ask you to forgive me if I don't remember their names, always punctual, very clean cars, they were always courteous and ready to satisfy even unscheduled stops during transfers.
About the hotels absolutely nothing to say, if I really have to say something negative, but negative in a manner of speaking, the breakfast at the hotel in Samarcanda is, let's say, not in line with the rest, but nothing dramatic, let's say that in the other hotels the breakfast is better.
the negative thing, unfortunately, was the little time we had to visit your wonderful country: but we will definitely return, and when we do we will use your services.
thank you very much, greetings and good work!

I am truly impressed with Advantour. The attention, commitment and punctuality showed by your company is commendable.
I gave a 5 star rating on google.
Thanks once again for all the help provided.

We are now back in London after a nine day trip to Uzbekistan. Overall , we were delighted with the arrangements and all the guides were excellent.

I would like to give the strongest of positive reviews to Advantour. I would like to specifically single out our travel coordinator Munirshokh Isoqulov.
I am a very independent traveler and had been to Tashkent for very brief periods on several occasions. So when I decided to take a 10-day vacation in Uzbekistan, I had planned to self organize. I soon learned that although the tourism industry is sophisticated, it is still difficult to make train, hotel, and flight reservations without the help of an Uzbekistan-based agency. I turned to Advantour based on recommendations from Uzbek colleagues and positive reviews. Mr. Isoqulov was extremely responsive. After I wrote to him, he responded immediately. He was equally responsive on both e-mail and WhatsApp, something I greatly appreciated. He purchased our tickets on the fast trains and internal flights. This is crucial to do early, the fast trains sell out almost immediately upon ticket release, a traveler needs to buy these tickets months in advance. I also gave Mr. Isoqulov my preferred hotels in Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand. Although I began working on the hotels three months in advance, my first choices were all booked. Munir Isoqulov suggested alternative hotels, I accepted, and he made the bookings. I was extremely satisfied with all his choices. Advantour had daily tours arranged in each city I visited based on my preferences. They will tailor the tour to a traveler's interest.
The guides and drivers were uniformly superior.
I am so satisfied with Advantour and the work of Munir that I have decided to go to Turkmenistan and Tajikistan next year. Although I have long wanted to visit these two countries, I was concerned that a trip there would be difficult to organize. I now have complete confidence that a tour organized by Advantour to other Central Asian countries will be safe, fun, and professional.

It was a wonderful tour! We thoroughly enjoyed our stays, tours, and drive across the country.
Local Family dinner was a unique experience that was well worth it! Very welcoming! Such a sweet family <3 I do wish we would have brought them a host gift. Maybe an idea for guests in the future.
Valentina was a wealth of knowledge. Farid (driver) is an excellent driver and made sure we were safe and taken care of everywhere we went!
We appreciate the flexibility of the drivers and guides with weather and scheduling due to Rick’s late arrival. We also appreciate you accommodating his arrival.
Thank you for the quick planning in the off season!
I will be recommending Advantour in the future!

The tour was very good thank you. You yourself have been very helpful and replied to all my inquiries in good time. The guides were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and it was a pleasure to be shown around by them. Special mention for our guide in Samarkand and Khiva.

The drivers were all very good and punctual on the whole. Again special mention to our driver in Tashkent and especially the driver who took us from Bukhara to Khiva. He was very friendly and helpful.

The hotels were on the whole of a very good standard although the hotel in Khiva was not as good as the air conditioning in our room was not functioning properly and the water was cold when showering/washing. However the staff were helpful and polite.

Overall we were very happy with the service and the whole experience was very stress free for us. we felt very well taken care of so thank you to you and to all involved for providing us with a comprehensive service which delivered in all respects :-)

I just want to say "Thank you" to all the Advantour staff who had guided and helped me and my family during our tour in your beautiful country in the past 10 days - we had a wonderful time and had returned to our home in China safely. In our tour, your team members have show your kindness and patience professionally, which has impressed us a lot.
I look forward to the next journey with you and please also remember you are always welcome to visit my homeland - China!
