What are the best times to visit Central Asia?

What hotels are included in the tour?

there are other things I would like to see around Almaty...can you arrange this

In our group tours, the itinerary is fixed, and unfortunately we are not able to make changes or add additional locations, as the program is coordinated in advance for all participants. However, if you would like more flexibility, we would be happy to arrange a private tour, which we organize for a minimum of 2 participants. A private tour means: A customized itinerary tailored to your interests, The flexibility to add or adjust locations and timing, A personal guide and private transportation exclusively for you, A more relaxed pace without being tied to a group schedule. The private tour option would require an additional cost of USD 1,000 per person.

Can you tell me what it will take to upgrade any of the 4* accommodations to 5*? Can I get a revised listing of the hotels?

For our 5 Stans small group tour, hotel upgrades are not available. The group itinerary uses a fixed set of 4–5* (or best available) accommodations for all participants, so everyone stays together in the same hotels.

I would like to know which countries require a visa. I will be travelling on an Australian passport.

As an Australian passport holder, you will only require a visa for Turkmenistan. For Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, no visa is necessary for Australian citizens for the duration of our tours.

Can you confirm that the 2 nights accommodations in Bukhara are in a hotel or a guest house?

Your 2-night accommodation in Bukhara will be at Asia Bukhara Hotel.

Is it straightforward to book this tour from the UK?

Yes, booking from the UK is simple, and we will assist you with the necessary details.

Can you explain what that means/ I will travel alone and want to be sure also, that all my accommodation will be private. No sharing. Finally, the October 5 date does not show on your own website. Before I book flights, etc. I need your assurance that this trip will start on the 5th.

If you opt for a private tour, the "upgraded accommodation" option allows you to select alternative hotels that you may prefer over those listed in the itinerary. This provides greater flexibility to tailor your experience. Rest assured that all your accommodations will be private, with no sharing. The single supplement fee, which ensures private rooms throughout your trip, is currently offered at a 50% discount until the end of January. The fee is now $412 instead of $825. Regarding your chosen departure date of Sunday, October 5, 2025: I can confirm that this date is available and scheduled. I'm unsure why it doesn't appear on the website, but please rest assured that we can proceed with booking your tour for this date.

What is the price of the 19-day 5 Stans tour?

The all-inclusive price for the 19-day 5 Stans tour is $7975 per person.

Is single supplement included? Are there discounts for repeat clients?

Currently, we are not offering returning clients discount and free single supplement. We managed to keep our prices the same since 2017, and now have a $1000 US single supplement fee.

We like to spend 3500 euro per person We like to see Kazachstand Oezbekistan and Kirgize

We could work on shorter tour, about 12-14 days long of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Would you like to consider?

Our tour with East Site was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The itinerary was excellent — we visited all the main highlights in each of the three countries, and everything was very well paced. The food throughout the trip was truly outstanding, and the wine tasting was a real treat. We especially enjoyed the group dinners at local restaurants, which gave us a real taste of the regional cuisine. Transportation was comfortable and smooth, and all of the hotels were clean and pleasant. The trip was well organized, and everything ran without a hitch. I would absolutely recommend East Site to anyone looking for a well-planned and enjoyable journey through the region.Show more

It was a great tour that we enjoyed a lot. It was my first trip to Central Asia, and I’m very glad I chose East Site. Everything was well organized and went smoothly from start to finish. The guides were friendly, helpful, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The hotels were clean and pleasant, and overall the tour was very good value for the money. We’re still very interested in the Caucasus tour for next year and hope to schedule it once we settle on the dates. I would gladly recommend East Site to anyone considering this part of the world.Show more

I usually prefer to travel on my own, but this time I decided to try a group tour, and I’m glad I did. East Site handled everything very professionally, and I always felt comfortable and taken care of. The pace was just right — not too rushed — and the guides were kind, patient, and easy to talk to. I especially appreciated how everything was explained clearly and calmly, without any stress. It was a new experience for me, and a very positive one.Show more

I was on the 5 Stans tour with East Site in April and I’m really happy with how everything was organized, even the little things. For an older person like me it was very comfortable and easy. They made sure there was water for everyone all the time, and they even gave us adapters for charging phones as a gift — that was very thoughtful. I could relax and enjoy the trip without worries. I’m really looking forward to going to the Caucasus with them next year. Big thanks to the team!Show more

Uzbekistan was much more than what my wife, friends and I expected. Wonderful people, beautiful architecture, interesting landscape and an array of history. A wonderful trip!!! Turkmenistan was an eye opener. The capital reminded me of DisneyWorld. The northern area captivated my interest in the history of this part of the World which unfortunately is not part of the school or college curriculum in the West. The guides were: Timur an A+ As mentioned before "Not enough words to praise his professionalism, knowledge and services". His substitute that came with us to Tajikistan is still "green". The local guide in Tajikistan was also an A+. He made this part of the trip worthwhile notwithstanding it was the lesser place from the cultural point of view. The guide in Turkmenistan is excellent, somewhat shy but very nice, helpful and knowledgeable.. The crossing of the border from Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan was an ordeal, out of a Kafka book In a nutshell, many thanks for organizing the tour and the visits to places I had dreamed to see!Show more

  What are the typical group sizes and what type of transportation is used?
- East Site IncOperator•Written February 2026
  Group sizes usually range from 4 to 15 participants, and due to this small size, our tours are very interactive—more like conversations than lectures. We use 20-seat minibuses, and our guide stays with the group throughout the journey. We use the same transportation within each country for consistency and comfort.

Benjamin
Asked on January 30th, 2026
there are other things I would like to see around Almaty...can you arrange this
Tour Details
- East Site IncOperator•Written January 2026
  In our group tours, the itinerary is fixed, and unfortunately we are not able to make changes or add additional locations, as the program is coordinated in advance for all participants. However, if you would like more flexibility, we would be happy to arrange a private tour, which we organize for a minimum of 2 participants. A private tour means: A customized itinerary tailored to your interests, The flexibility to add or adjust locations and timing, A personal guide and private transportation exclusively for you, A more relaxed pace without being tied to a group schedule. The private tour option would require an additional cost of USD 1,000 per person.

  Traveler•Written February 2026
  I am asking if you can facilitate visits to sites PRIOR to the tour dates
- East Site IncOperator•Written February 2026
  Yes, this may be possible, depending on which sites you would like to visit and how many people are involved. Pre-tour visits are usually arranged as a private extension. Please let me know the locations you have in mind and the number of participants, and I will be happy to advise on the options and details.

Can you tell me what it will take to upgrade any of the 4* accommodations to 5*? Can I get a revised listing of the hotels?
Accommodation
- East Site IncOperator•Written December 2025
  For our 5 Stans small group tour, hotel upgrades are not available. The group itinerary uses a fixed set of 4–5* (or best available) accommodations for all participants, so everyone stays together in the same hotels.

  Regarding your chosen departure date of Sunday, October 5, 2025: I can confirm that this date is available and scheduled. I'm unsure why it doesn't appear on the website, but please rest assured that we can proceed with booking your tour for this date.
