Cecilia· June 12th, 2025I started planning a trip to Uzbekistan back in July 2024 for summer of 2025. I reached out to Odil at Steppe Journeys asking for information on tours/drivers since I wasn't sure if they would work with a solo traveler. He was always prompt and detailed in his communication. I worked with Odil on solidifying the trip earlier in the year. He provided good guidance on timeframes for travel as well as sights to see. The best part of the experience was the knowledgeable tour guides and drivers. The tour guides all seemed like academics. Their knowledge on their respective cities is vast. They were kind and provided excellent recommendations. My driver for most of the trip was a wonderful person. We communicated as best as we could with the little English he knew. He always made sure I was comfortable. I will never forget his kindness. My driver in Tashkent, Bek (Khostorbek) went above and beyond. He also spoke excellent English. Unfortunately, my luggage was delayed. He took me back to the airport at 2:00 in the morning to retrieve my baggage. He was very accommodating and service-focused. Anything I asked was no problem for him. He is also very knowledgable on Tashkent. The accommodations were excellent. I even stayed in a madrassa in Khiva. Uzbekistan is a beautiful country with an amazing culture. I hope more and more tourists visit this special place. I am hoping to go back one day. Thank you Steppe Journeys for a wonderful experience!Show more

Show moreTrip date: November 2024 - XGXenia· October 28th, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThe guides were good, but the organization and especially the communication were catastrophic. The plan we received in advance was not adhered to at all. We were only five people in total, which was very pleasant, but the organizer still failed to put us on a train, on a plane and in a hotel. We had to complain several times and the whole group was very disappointed. It started, for example, with the fact that the tour did not start at the Navruz Hotel as agreed but at Inspira S. We had to drive there at our own expense (!) to wait almost an hour for the guide because the tour was postponed from 9:30 am to 10 am without informing us. The option to take the train from Samarkand to Bukhara was never mentioned, so we lost a whole day just for the ride. We were supposed to stop for lunch, which didn't happen etc etc. This lack of organization and communication continued throughout the week. Every day there were problems, A was said, B was done, making a stress free vacation impossible. We can NOT recommend Steppe Journeys and would not book with this tour operator again. Too bad.Show moreTrip date: October 2024
- FRFlora· October 28th, 2024Uzbekistan was a mind blowing experience. Definitely worth the trip. The tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful. There were glitches in the organisation but any issues were quickly resolved. So overall I was satisfied. The hotels were of varying quality but satisfactory. The Inspira S in Tashkent was excellent and the hotel in Khiva was right in the old city and was in itself an ancient madrassah which was a unique experience. I had a great time !Show moreTrip date: October 2024

We will of course provide transport but sometimes you need to walk in the markets, old cities and climb several times staircases. if you are fit and healthy no issue.
