Is air fare included? When I put in 1 traveler it would not accept, if you do accept a solo will there be single supplement?

International airfare is not included, this is something you would need to arrange yourself. However, the internal flights shown in the itinerary will be included. Solo travelers are always welcomed on our trips. If you are okay with sharing a room with another solo traveler of the same gender then there is no additional cost. However, if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. A single supplement is available and applies to all nights of your trip, with the exception of day 14, and is subject to availability. The additional cost for that would be £1,150.

Our small group tour to Uzbekistan was amazing in all respects. At a time when travel arrangements were not straightforward, TourRadar and Intrepid were extremely responsive to my queries. The itinerary enabled us to see the fascinating historical sights, but also contained enjoyable experiences - cooking, wine tasting - that gave us an insight into the culture. All the accommodation was extremely comfortable and food options delicious. Crucially, our local guide, Hamza, was exceptional.Show more

I went on this tour with great expectations as it was labeled as Premium. Well, would challenge that statement. Although Uzbekistan is premium destinations ( stunning beauty), the tour itself was only partially premium. Premium: small group of wonderful individuals ( 10 in total), great guide Tulkinjon, very good hotel in Tashkent, relatively good hotel in Samarqand ( although none was exceptional - all standard for other groups staying there), very good buses ( very comfortable one for the long trip to Khiva), comfortable transfers by train and plane ( although it is actually what majority of tours have and you might argue that premium should not be in economy class for the train). Not so premium: Hotels in Buchara and Khiva- although centrally located, both ware not so premium (Buchara hotel was better one), rather basic, dark, not very clean, would rate them as max 3 stars European . Breakfasts only in Tashkent and Samarkand were good, other places - not so good. All hotels we stayed as rather cheap in European standards ( check booking.com prices of 60/70 euros per night for single room in Buchara and Khiva,; the best in Tashkent I paid for last night 80 euro) but charged to us as really luxurious hotels as part of this package. Although I understand both tour agents ( local and Intrepid) need to make money, it is a bit too much in my view. And not a reason to call the whole tour “ premium”. Dinners/ lunches - although you might have an impression the tour provides a lot of included options - it is not. Two options are home cooking . Might sound great and interesting but it was quite basic and … not so interesting to us. The welcoming dinner was in nice restaurant house, the last one was changed to lunch in nice but not great restaurant in Tashkent. That was all for the tour. Other food options our guide was including in agenda and usually paid meals and places were great. So , do not expect to eat well on this tour if you rely only on included options. Agenda- all covered, a lot of free time. Would be nice if guide is proactively informing on details of agenda for next 1/2 days ( outfit for wether and visiting venues like mosques). First and last day - nothing really on agenda. End of the trip in Tashkent - a bit if wasted time , should be clearly stated that there will be almost nothing ( lunch) . Would I recommend this tour ?- with mixed feeelingsShow more
