- Ann· September 18th, 2025I had a wonderful trip around Uzbekistan, the trip was very well organised and Bek was on hand to answer all of my questions and also advise on additional matters. The guides and driver along the way were all fantastic and very knowledgeable, passionate and kind. The hotels chosen were also all very good, especially in Khiva where I was able to stay within the old city in a converted madrasah. For my first trip to Uzbekistan this trip did not disappoint. Many thanks for a fantastic trip guys.Show more

- Jinny· August 27th, 2025I went on the Central Asia combined Sile Road tour with Steppe Journeys in Sep 2024. Steppe Journeys is one of the few tour operators that go to all five Stans. All in all, it was well organised and the tour covered a large number of amazing sights in all five countries. All hotels were three or four stars. Some were excellent and some less so, but they were all clean and comfortable. Also the transportation was good and comfortable. Ilya, our guide in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan was a gem. Also Ahmed in Tajikistan was very good. Our experience of guides in Uzbekistan was not a good one. It was very disorganised and we had several guides in each city and some were with us for a few hours only. Often the English was not good and it was difficult to understand. Steppe Journeys is a good operator but will be better if they improve communications. My suggestion to the company is to create a WhatsApp group chat with each group so that the company can communicate directly with the members of the group and not through the guides, which is not always effective. Also, please give the group members the names and telephone numbers of the local guides, if possible. If you go on this tour, please bear the following in mind: 1) If you need a visa for Tajikistan, book well in advance as it takes time. the website crashes, payments do not go through etc. 2) If there are any problems contact Odyl (the owner) directly as the members of his team are not that quick and effective. 3) Get the contact details of the local travel agent in each country that Stepp Journeys works with and also the telephone numbers of Odyl and staff members. We were stuck in the Turkmenistan border for over two hours as the local guide did not turn up. It was not a nice experience. Our phones and internet networks did not work inside Turkmenistan. After a lot of attempts, one phone worked and we managed to contact Odyl. It would have been far easier if we had the local agents contact details. 4) In Turkmenistan, there are buses to take the passengers at the borders on either side and they charge a dollar or equivalent local currency per person. We did not have the right money as we were not aware. Therefore keep some local currency or one dollar notes for the buses. 5) Crossing the borders was a hard but interesting experience. You need to walk long distances on broken roads carrying your luggage. So, keep the suitcases light. 6) Download Taxi.Yandex app before you leave home. You cannot download it when you are there. I am so glad I went on this tour and Stepp Journeys did a lot to make us comfortable. A big thanks to Odyl. I will never forget Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva in Uzbekistan, the natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan and the amazing capital cities. I wish I had more time to visit these countries in more detail. Well worth going on this trip.Show more

Suzanne
Asked on March 21st, 2025We are a group of four traveling from Sydney Australia, we are looking for a tour in Usbakistan and Tajikistan for about 10 days. We can join the tour in Tashkand or Dushanbeh. Can you find us a tour including five star hotels, flight, transport and a guide?
Steppe JourneysOperator•Written March 2025We have Uzbekistan and Tajikistan 11 Day tour and hope this is suitable for you. However we consider 3 star hotels on our tour and we can modify and upgrade for you in 5 star hotels. But 5 star hotels are available only in Tashkent, Samarkand and Dushanbe cities. In other cities the best available hotels are 4 star hotels and they are very good with international standards, facilities and location.
