Wir mussten nur unseren eigenen Flug buchen (Direktflug mit Uzbekistan Airways). Die Mitarbeiter von Steppe Journeys sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Eine Woche war voll ausreichend um die schönsten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Usbekistan (außer Shiva) zu sehen. Es war sehr beeindruckend, das hatten wir so gar nicht erwartet.Show more

Asked on August 17th, 2025Please explain how this "Partially Guided" tour operates? Which parts of the tour will be or will not be guided?
- Steppe JourneysOperator•Written August 2025
you will have guides only during city tours from 9 am to 5 pm when you have sightseeing in Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara so you will be picked up and dropped off by drivers only when you have transfers. The guides will not be accounting you all the time from one coty to the next from Beginning to the End.
