    Claire

    Asked on February 23rd, 2026

    Is there possibility to upgrade the hotels? We prefer 4 star.

    Accommodation
    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten March 2026

      We are pleased to confirm that it is absolutely possible to upgrade the hotels to 4-star properties. We will be happy to select comfortable and well-rated 4-star accommodations to ensure a more elevated stay throughout your journey.

  • L

    Leanne

    Asked on February 15th, 2026

    I am interested in this tour but have to return to the UK by Sunday. Is that possible?

    Tour Details
    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      As this is a 10-day program, the tour would normally conclude on Monday, 23 March 2026. Therefore, returning to the UK by Sunday would unfortunately not be possible under the standard itinerary.

      However, we would be pleased to explore alternative solutions for you. For example:

      • We could create a shortened private version of the itinerary (7-8 days) to ensure your return by Sunday.
      • Alternatively, we can design a customized program allowing you to experience the main highlights within a shorter timeframe.

      Please let us know your preferred return date, and we will gladly propose the most suitable option tailored to your schedule.

    Donald

    Asked on January 31st, 2026

    I will be travelling on my own, but I would be very happy to join a small group in order to share the experience with other travellers. I am quite flexible and easygoing, but I do appreciate comfort: a good boutique hotel or higher would be perfect (of course, if there is a yurt experience along the way, no problem at all!). My main interests are: the history and culture of the region, Silk Road architecture and cities, textiles and silk items and natural landscapes; I enjoy walking, but no hard trekking please!

    Accommodation
    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      Regarding the departure on Wednesday, 12 August 2026, the tour operates with a minimum of 2 participants. At the moment, this departure is not yet guaranteed. As you are traveling alone and wish to join a small group, we can reserve your place and confirm the departure once the minimum number of participants is reached, or offer the tour on a private basis, exclusively tailored to you, should you prefer guaranteed travel.

    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      Please kindly note that the selected 10-day cultural tour focuses primarily on the historical Silk Road cities (Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand) and does not include a dedicated nature visit or yurt stay. If you would like to incorporate natural landscapes or a yurt experience into your journey, we would be delighted to tailor the itinerary accordingly — either by adjusting this program or by proposing an alternative route that combines culture with scenic countryside. We typically arrange stays at carefully selected boutique hotels known for their comfort and character.

    • D

      Donald

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      are you suggesting this option instead of highlights of Uzb? Selected boutique hotels are very ok! I can leave from Rome from Monday 10 of August if It could help. by the way is a very interesting tour, I would love to experience a earth but It's not mandatory.

    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      The 10-day Cultural Tour remains the classic "Highlights of Uzbekistan" program, focusing on the magnificent Silk Road cities of Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand. This itinerary is ideal if your priority is history, architecture, textiles, and cultural heritage. My previous message was simply to clarify that this specific group departure does not include a yurt or dedicated nature stay. If you would enjoy experiencing a yurt night or adding a scenic countryside element, this can certainly be arranged; however, it would need to be organized on a private basis, exclusively for you, as it is not part of the scheduled group program. In that case, we could tailor a modified itinerary that combines the cultural highlights with a touch of nature, while still maintaining the comfort level you prefer.

    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      Regarding the group departure on 12 August, please kindly note that it requires a minimum of two participants. At the moment, there are no other confirmed travelers for this date, so the departure is not yet guaranteed. May I kindly ask whether you would prefer to wait for the group tour to be confirmed, or to proceed with a private tour (with or without the yurt experience), which would guarantee your departure?

    Sandy

    Asked on January 20th, 2026

    Can you please confirm which may dates are a guaranteed departure for the group tour?

    Price / Availability
    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      At present, the departure on Saturday, 30 May 2026 is not yet guaranteed, as the tour requires a minimum of two participants to operate.

      We are closely monitoring bookings for May 2026 and will be happy to inform you as soon as a departure becomes guaranteed. If your travel dates are flexible, please let us know.

      As you are traveling as a single participant, we can either:

      • Keep your booking open until the minimum number of participants is reached, or
      • Offer the tour on a private basis, tailored exclusively for you.

    What are the current demographics for the departures from 18-28 March?

    Group size
    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      At the moment there are no other travelers registered or showing interest for the departure around Saturday, 21 March 2026. Therefore, there is no confirmed group, and detailed group demographics are not available at this stage. Please note that the tour operates with a minimum of 2 participants. As you are currently the only interested traveler for this departure, the tour cannot yet be confirmed as a group. Should another participant join, we will be happy to inform you immediately. Alternatively, if you prefer not to wait for group formation, we can also arrange this tour as a private trip on your preferred dates, ensuring comfort and flexibility.

    Asked on January 16th, 2026

    We may have 2-4 additional persons interested. All are over 60 years old. Their question is about the availability of washrooms and toilets during the land portion of the trip. Also, if we want to upgrade the hotels, or chose ones of our choice, what is the process?

    Tour Details
    • Responsible TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Washrooms and toilets are available at hotels, restaurants, cafés, and main sightseeing sites throughout the tour. During longer drives between cities, regular comfort stops are planned at suitable roadside facilities. Please note that facilities in rural areas may be more basic than in cities, but appropriate stops are always arranged for comfort.

      Yes, it is possible to upgrade the hotels (for example, to higher-category or boutique hotels) or to choose specific hotels of your preference, subject to availability. Please let us know the hotel category you would like to upgrade to, or share the names of your preferred hotels. We will check availability for your travel dates and provide a revised price quotation accordingly before any confirmation.

      The selected 10-day tour is well suited for travelers over 60 years old, with a comfortable pace and well-planned land transportation.
