We loved our trip with Steppe Journeys. We took this tour as a base and Odil and his team changed it to an individual tour according to our wishes. It was an amazing trip. everything went nice and smoothly. Airport pickup, local transportation, domestic flights and tourguides for all major sights. All guides were local and spoke perfect English. They were the highlight of the trip as they explained so much about the country and the people in addition to all the information we got regarding the sights. The drivers were on time and the cars in really good condition. Whenever we had questions (which hardly ever happened) we messaged the team and almost imidiatelly got a response. Definitely recommend booking an Usbekistan trip with Steppe Journeys!Show more

Our tour with Steppe Journeys was excellent. We saw remarkable sites and learnt so much about the history and culture of Uzbekistan. It's difficult to name the highlight, but staying in villages with local families was a very authentic and memorable experience. Our guides and drivers were all friendly and professional, and were extremely helpful in sorting out any problems along the way. We would enthusiastically recommend this company and this tour to other travellers of any age.Show more

  Traveler•Written July 2025
  I am very interested in this tour but I am concerned because I have read that the temperatures in the cities are very high in August. How do make sure your clients are comfortable? I can't do any other dates this year but would be willing to consider other dates in 2026
- Steppe JourneysOperator•Written July 2025
  August can be quite hot in many parts of Central Asia, particularly in cities like Bukhara, Samarkand, and Khiva, where daytime temperatures often reach 35–40°C (95–104°F). We take several steps to ensure our travelers remain comfortable throughout the tour: Air-Conditioned Vehicles & Hotels, Optimized Daily Schedules, Shade & Hydration, Custom Adjustments. If it's extremely hot on a particular day, our guides can adapt the itinerary. Mid-April to early May or mid-September to mid-October are ideal travel times, with temperatures ranging between 18–28°C (64–82°F).
