Can I join at 86 yrs age?

This tour is a part of our 18-30somethings travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 39 to book onto. Our other travel styles, such as Classic, Active, National Geographic Journeys, etc., do not have any age restrictions.

Having done a brief research am I right in thinking that I will only need a visa for Tajikistan? And if so, if I submitted an application now would it be ready in time to go.

I have Tetanus and Hep A vaccines are there any others that I would need for the trip or any official medical records for entry?

Is this tour starting May8 confirmed? I need to book the flights.

We still have 3 spaces available for the 08 May date and it is a guaranteed departure.

The itinerary shows there is a lot of free time - am I misreading that? Some is fine but I would like more with a guide.

This tour advertises Kazakhstan as one of the destinations in 4 of the stans, but in the itinerary I cannot see any stops in Kazakhstan. So is it 3 countries or 4?

Solo-ish Uzbekistan was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, mainly because of the extraordinary tour leader, Marifat. I’ve been on many small group tours, but she was easily the very best leader I’ve had. Always positive, always organized, and always with a story that offered us compelling insights into the rich culture of Uzbekistan. We laughed so much on this trip, so if you want to have a great time in a fascinating country, book this tour, or any tour she is leading.Show more

We had an amazing experience on The Five Stans of the Silk Road tour. It was a long and sometimes challenging journey, but it gave us the opportunity to experience five very different countries, cultures, landscapes, and histories in one trip. The itinerary was very well organised, especially considering the complicated border crossings and the long distances between destinations. We visited beautiful mountains, lakes, deserts, historic Silk Road cities, local markets, and traditional villages. Staying in a yurt and camping near the Darvaza gas crater were particularly memorable experiences. Our tour leader was young but very responsible, caring, and hardworking. She always tried her best to help everyone in the group and handled unexpected situations calmly and professionally. The local guides were also knowledgeable and helped us understand the history and culture of each country. Some travel days were quite long, and the accommodation and facilities in remote areas were sometimes basic, so travellers should be prepared to be flexible. However, these experiences were also part of what made the trip so unique and adventurous. Overall, this was an unforgettable journey and one of the most interesting tours we have ever taken. We would highly recommend it to anyone who is curious about Central Asia and enjoys cultural experiences, history, nature, and adventure.Show more

  Based on UK and Maltese (EU) citizenship, you are correct Tajikistan is the only country on this itinerary that typically requires a visa. With regards to the timeframe we advise you get in contact with the local embassy.
