We are both very active in our early 60s. We prefer to travel with a 50 plus group which includes plenty of walking including maybe some hiking. Is this possible? We have the 5 Stan's plus Georgia in mind.

I know that you inquired about the The Five Stans of the Silk Road tour. This will be a tour that has a wide mix of travelers age ranges. The company, G Adventure, does tend to attract many younger travelers as well. These three will be operated by local guides and tend to attract our more mature travelers.

What is the charge for having your own room?

Turkmaniastan is not yet re-open the tourism, but we think it will be re-open soon. Now the four-stan tour is open to book, would you like to travel these 4-stans?

Could you please let this traveller know if this tour is a guaranteed departure date?

We cannot guarantee the departure date because the tour is not that popular. We will let you know when we got another traveler to run the tour based on 2 travelers. If the traveler is happy to pay extra, we can run it as solo private tour. The extra tour cost is USD4999 for solo traveler for 4-stans.

Is this a private tour or a group?

Do you have any dates around that you already have people booked on as it is a single traveller

Will you give LOI for Turkmenistan to get visa?

Turkmenistan is not yet open due to the Covid -19. Other stans are reopen. You have to wait if you want to go there, we have no idea when it will reopen, but should be soon.

What is single supplement? Will visas/entry requirements be covered? If not, is there time for me to do whatever is required and be able to enter the various countries for the August 27 or even August 20 trip?

Could I know your nationality? Because the stans do not need visa for some nationalities except Turkmenistan.

All of the places on this trip were different from each other which made the whole experience valuable. Our guides were generally all good English speakers, Yom in Yangshuo was without doubt the most wonderful and made a huge effort to get to know us and our interests, Rain in Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang was a close 2nd, he answered our questions about more than just the places we were visiting and had a relaxed manner. The travel agent contact Ben of Silk Road tours was always available to answer questions promptly and upgraded our final hotel stay when we queried the hotel. If I had to criticise at all it was that each guide had not always been given the information on our next place, but they always found out for us once asked.Show more
