What people love about 5 Stans Tours
- Central Asia - 5 Stans
I just returned from East site 5 stans tour and was so pleasantly surprised that we got so much in with just three weeks. It is a tour that is jammed packed full of wonderful sights, good quality meals in very delightful restaurants..top notch hotels and wonderfully informative guides. In three weeks there was literally no reason to take out your wallets, because everything was included. The only hassle was the border crossing from Uzbekistan to Turkmenistan, which was no fault of East site. The crossing is poorly staffed and the customs offices are unnecessarily tedious with very little organization.. otherwise the only interruption was having to wait a long time to check into our hotel in Ashgabat which also has to do with the government control of the entire country. We made good use of our time with an evening tour of this amazing city. I felt that Julia made my life easy not having to submit any passport or visa papers. She calls all her clients before the trip to give them necessary information and answer any questions. Our tour was great with the exception of a couple who came from Hawaii with the expectation that our guides would handle the 4 huge suitcases and the wheelchair situation. This is NOT a tour for anyone who cannot walk or climb stairs. it is a full on pace.

On my first day, I missed my flight connection. I am glad that Olga helped me a lot and was responsive on the telegram app. She deserves to be commended for this! On my next day arrival to Ashgabat at 3am, I was dropped off at the Ak Altyn hotel were the receptionist was insisting that I have no reservation, gave me a key to one of the solo travelers and insisted that I joined that person. Im glad that the driver who was with me did not agree with these and bought me to a better hotel- Bagt Koshgi Hotel. Sad part, I have go back to AK Altyn hotel the next day to join the rest of the tour group. The room at these hotel was a little bit challenging for me- towel hanger was falling, bathroom Grimes, etc. I am glad that I was only here for a day. Uzbekistan tour guide- Jahongir, was excellent. Tajikistan- we were only here for a day, I enjoyed the 7 lake tour. I wished to spend at least an overnight here, as we were rushing to go back to Uzbekistan (crossing the land border). We also had an excellent tour guide. Kazahkstan -our group had a challenge with our tour guide, not sure if its a cultural misunderstanding. The tour guide was ordering food for us for our lunch and some of the travelers had food restrictions. I am pretty sure he wants us to try some food that the lccal enjoys but forgot to consider the dietary resections of some of the travelers. Overall, it was fun and adventurous. I would definitely recommend the trip. They may just need to tweak some of the itineraries to maximize the travel experience like changing the hotel in Ashgabat and spending more days in Tajikistan.

Great experience in two very different countries. The nature in Kyrgyzstan combined with the culture and history of Silk Road in Uzbekistan is a great combo.

"I recently booked a 10-day cultural tour across Uzbekistan with Nuratau Travel (Responsible Travel), and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, making each city's history come alive. The hotel selections were top-notch, all centrally located and close to major sites. Our driver was a true professional, always helpful and ensuring we traveled safely. Communication with the company was a breeze; they were incredibly responsive and fulfilled all their promises. Overall, I had an incredible time and wholeheartedly recommend Nuratau Travel to everyone. If you're considering a trip to Uzbekistan, look no further!
