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

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!

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!

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!

A huge thank you for such a wonderful trip to Uzbekistan. The sites we visited were beyond everything I imagined. We couldn't have done this trip without your help and the great service provided by Advantour.

The drivers were all very professional, friendly and always on time.

The guides in every city were friendly and amazing teachers! It has been like taking a crash course on Central Asian history, art and civilization. While I was a History and Literature major back in college, my education on Central Asia was minimal.

We enjoyed every single hotel we stayed at. They were all very unique and special with beautiful Uzbek touches. The staff at Rabat Hotel in Samarkand was specially kind and helpful. They shared a lot of information about the special house and its history. I will always remember them!

Belated but sincerely we like to express our thanks for your support for making our trip in Uzbekistan such a memorable one.
The drivers and guides on the list were very good and professional.
Mr. Ulugbek in Tashkent on the first day was especially excellent and introduced us with helpful knowledge to start our journey.
Ms. Saida in Khiva was also very informative and helpful.
Sorry to say Mr. Kamal in Nukas seemed not so eager to work, or he didn’t know of our program well, and he almost skipped Gyaur-Kala fortress and asked us if we wanted to get closer to see it, so we of course said yes and we saw it. He did not show us around the city of Nukus at all, so next day we asked Mr. Izzat, guide of the next day, to have a quick drive of the city before leaving the city, and he was cooperative for that. Except for this incident everything went well and we are both very satisfied for the safe driving and all the information we received.
So a big thank you !!

We have just returned 2 couples from a comprehensive 12 day trip n the amazing Uzbekistan.
We contacted Advantour Uzbekistan after reading hot recommendations about the company.
Shavkat a senior representative of the company replied on the same day and thus began regular communication, both during the pre-flight period and during the stay in Uzbekistan. In the first stage, we set the date of arrival, length of stay, our favorite places and sites and when and how we will need a driver / guide. We made changes to the program following Shavkats advice
Shavkat closed domestic flights, trains, drivers and guides (we booked an international flight and hotels, in retrospect we had to allow Shavkat to book the hotels as well).
I want to thank the agency but especially the amazing Shavkat for their patience, and impeccable and trouble-free organization that made the trip experience amazing, great drivers who arrived well before the scheduled time no matter what time, a pampering van, great guides with English speaking skills (not obvious, direction That the English language is not common in Uzbekistan) who instructed beyond the set time and a much lower price than companies in the country.
Highly recommend the agency, excellent, reliable and quality, and especially Shavkat their representative who was always at our disposal at any time, any request and change was immediately made to our satisfaction and thus the trip became amazing

Our tour leader was delightful, knows so much history and is very attentive to our every need. We had no big problems, but any small issues he handled right away. He worked very hard for us and made it a truly extraordinary trip.

Stress free. Well-organized. Good balance of things to see. Airport express service was excellent and fruit bowl.
In summer, it is too hot to do mid-day walking tours. Suggest split into 2 tours (early morning and late afternoon). Remind people to bring umbrellas.
The guides were excellent. Vadim was easy to understand with good pace. Flexible. Valentina in Samarkand is knowledgeable but too many details, spoke very clearly. Maxsuma in Bukhara is knowledgeable but too many details. Not always easy to understand. Saida in Khiva spoke far too quickly. Very friendly and flexible. Difficult to understand.

We have super impression of the tour, everything worked perfectly, we had no problems at all.
We have had a great time in Uzbekistan, only met friendly and helpful people.
We will without doubt use Advantour if ever again going to Central Asia. All guides were very good at communicating what they had to tell, all of them had great knowledge of their city and the sights.
