    Will you please confirm tour starting and ending city ? It's confusing in details. Are breakfast in all hotels included in price? How much more for single rooms? I'm interested in late September or October 5 Stan's 14 days trip.

      Jonathan

      Traveler•Written August 2024

      Can you please let me know the precise start and end of the tour so I can make accommodation reservations and flights?

    • StantripsOperator•Written August 2024

      Our company provides visa support for the required countries; however, obtaining the visa itself is your responsibility. For Turkmenistan, we will provide you with a letter of invitation within 2 weeks after you provide the necessary documents. You will be able to collect your visa at the border.

    • StantripsOperator•Written August 2024

      To begin the tour on the morning of September 1, you will need to book your flight ticket to Almaty for August 31 (transfer from the airport to the hotel and accommodation on the arrival day is included in the price.). The tour itself will last for 13 days, so on the 14th day, you should book your departure flight from Ashgabat for September 14.
