Amazing trip with very knowledgeable guides, perfect itinerary…
Amrut5.0•June 2026
Had an amazing time and experience on your 5 Stans tour. Your local partners in each of the countries were terrific....
Had an amazing time and experience on your 5 Stans tour. Your local partners in each of the countries were terrific. The guides and drivers met us at each of the border crossings were seamless. Kyrgyzstan to Kazakhstan was the shortest and easiest crossing with welcoming guards. All of your guides and drivers were excellent. In particular, I would like to recognize Merdan in Ashgabat. I had Visa problems coming 1 day earlier, but he was able to get the new LOI from the local office and took care of the issue. I was tired and the passport control person was not nice and didn’t care and not helpful. He assured me and came back to Visa office to offer food or drink. He was great. Aidana in Kyrgyzstan was a breath of fresh air. She was upbeat, knowledgeable and friendly and caring. I had a twisted ankle for 2 days and asked me each day how I was doing and if she can help. All guides and drivers were great. All hotels were great except Olive hotel in Bishkek. Breakfast was good, it was clean but TV did not work and refrigerator in room did not work. I asked reception to check next morning. When I came back in evening she said they are all like that? I replaced the one in my room with one from my friends room it it seemed to cool in the morning. Not that great but better than nothing at all. I felt like they didn’t care? WI-FI could be better at some of these hotels? I realize Ashgabat is hopeless with their closed country? I would highly recommend your tour to anyone. I have told one friend on Facebook that is looking for a recommendation. Thank you.Show more
