The tour was excellent, with excellent planning and support. I would highly recommend it to anybody fortunate to visit Uzbekistan. Steppe Journey was incredibly helpful in adapting the itinerary to our needs, always with a quick response. This was especially impressive given the short timeframe in planning the trip, from the time that we first contacted the agency. All the tour guides and drivers were excellent and went beyond the call of service. This included spending time to answer our questions and to adjust the tour as necessary. Their suggestions on places to visit was excellent. The restaurants were all quite good and reasonably priced-- with many locals and few tourists. The Tashkent-based agent was in constant communication with us and highly responsive to our requests. Any logistical issues (and these were minor!) were quickly and efficiently resolved. In short, I would highly recommend the tour and the agency.

Along the Silk Road Tour Uzbekistan - Private TourIt was a great tour that we enjoyed a lot. It was my first trip to Central Asia, and I’m very glad I chose East Site. Everything was well organized and went smoothly from start to finish. The guides were friendly, helpful, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The hotels were clean and pleasant, and overall the tour was very good value for the money. We’re still very interested in the Caucasus tour for next year and hope to schedule it once we settle on the dates. I would gladly recommend East Site to anyone considering this part of the world.
