I travelled to Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan with Advantour from May 20th till June 5th, 2019. Since visiting these countries had been a very long time dream, I decided to do it in a private tour. Lucky me that had Sevara Fayzieva from Advantour to book everything the way I wanted! I really enjoyed the trip! The guides were excelent, the program was very interesting, the transportation (cars and drivers) was nice and the hotels were also good. Dushanbe: the guide (I forgot his name...) was very good, helpful and knowledgeable. Hotel Atlas was very nice and central. Almaty: the guide (Aika) was also very good, helpful, knowledgeable and a sweetheart! Hotel Kazzhol was nice and central. Astana: the guide (Kanat) was also very good, helpful and knowledgeable. Hotel Kazzhol was very nice. Bishkek: the guide (Ermek) was also very good, super nice, helpful and knowledgeable! Hotel Plaza was very nice as well and very central. Tashkent: the guide (I forgot her name) was good and knowledgeable, but seemed to be tired (or hungry -- because of Ramadan, I don't know). Until that day, in all cars that picked us up there were bottles of water, but not in Tashkent, and it was a pretty hot day, so that was a minus. Well, in her favour I can say that at a certain point she bought us water, because we did not have Uzbek currency yet (we were picked up at the airport and started the tour right away coming from Kyrgyzstan). And also in her favour I should say that she took us to a hotel to exchange money, so, yes, it was a good tour, but not as good as the previous ones we had. Hotel Sharq was nice and very central. Aral Sea: the guide (Kamal) was also very good, helpful and knowledgeable. The people at the yurt camp were very hospitable and the accommodations were good. Nukus: Jipek Joli Hotel was nice and central. Bukhara: the guide (I forgot her name) was also very good, helpful, knowledgeable and sweet. There was a problem at the hotel we were supposed to stay (Qosa Darvoza), so they put us at another one across the street for the first night, which was good. On the second night we stayed at the one that was originally reserved, which was nice too. The staff was very helpful an both hotels were central. Khiva: the guide (I forgot her name) was also very good, helpful, extremely knowledgeable and sweet. Hotel K.Komil was nice and central. The dinning room was beautiful! Shahrizabz: the guide was good and knowledgeable. Samarkand: the guide (Rihanna) was also very good, helpful, knowledgeable and sweet. Hotel Caravan Serail was nice and central. All drivers were very nice. There was just a small problem with the one that should pick us up at the airport in Khiva: he was not there when we arrived. But after I called Sevara (the agent responsible for booking the tour), he arrived very quickly, in 10-15 minutes. And a special compliment goes to Anuar, the driver that took me from Khiva to Samarkand through Shahrizabz and drove us around in Samarkand. Besides being very nice and knowledgeable, on the last day after the guide left and I had a free afternoon, he took me to a wine tasting and translated information into English to me. Thank you once again, Sevara! I really enjoyed the trip! :-)

When we travel, we spend a lot of time researching a good travel agency, as we have seen that this makes all the difference to the quality of our trip. After reading reviews of several agencies and comparing their itineraries and inclusions, we went with Advantour, which is Tashkent based. They were very cooperative and prompt with answers to queries from the first contact till the last moment of the tour. Mr Shavkat was corresponding with me for several months very patiently, and helped in every way possible. All transactions were systematic and efficient. This is very reassuring for any traveller prior to a trip. Advantour offers both group as well as private tours and we opted for a private tour. This gave us a lot of flexibility in terms of amending the itinerary, dropping some sights, and shifting departure timings etc. The hotels, cars, drivers, guides, restaurant recommendations, itineraries - all were top class. The cars (large vans for our group of 3, instead of Sedans, which would have become cramped) were as good as new, the drivers drove safely, and the guides (we had a total of 5 guides) were all excellent, knowledgeable, kind, experienced and very cooperative. They gave us excellent eating and shopping recommendations based on our preference and budget. We felt that in each case they went out of their way to give us a taste of Uzbek warmth and hospitality. We had a hassle-free holiday and immensely rich experiences. Here's what all Advantour organized for us as part of the package: - transfers from/to the airports/railway station. - all train + flight tickets. - hotel bookings. - all guides + drivers, and transport within cities. - all tickets/ passes to all the monuments listed in the itinerary. - trips to bazaars and other experiences like a ceramic studio, ikat weaving centre, mulberry paper workshop etc. - only breakfast was included in the package but when we requested their guides/drivers for meal/shop recommendations, they recommended excellent, reasonably priced places and we had no complaints ever. For instance, when walking in Chorsu bazaar, our guide was kind enough to take us to the most local of eating places - where the shopkeepers themselves eat. Similarly in Samarkand too the guide took us to the best Plow place in town at our request. Our deepest thanks to Delia, Komal, Timur, Gol and Saida - you are the best of the best! We highly, highly recommend Advantour if you wish to experience the very best that Uzbekistan - an amazing country in every respect - has to offer. Rehmat!

I'll cut to the chase and give you the TL;DR of my verdict on Advantour: they are excellent, professional, and a key reason for why and how I was able to explore the whole of Central Asia (i.e. all 5 Central Asian 'stans') as a solo traveller. I first engaged Advantour in 2019 for individual excursions across Kazakhstan (Almaty, Nursultan and Turkestan/Shymkent), and was met with fantastic, personalised service by Sevara Tillayeva, one of their travel consultants. Sevara was so good I remembered her even after 3 years, when I reached out to her again - this time for a more ambitious and challenging trip covering the rest of the region (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan). Given the geographical variation, cultural discrepancies and bureaucratic complexities involved in these 4 countries, I requested Sevara's assistance with itinerary planning, guide sourcing/matching and logistics arrangement. (Compared to Kazakhstan, I feel the other CA stans are considerably more challenging to navigate for foreign travellers, especially Turkmenistan with its strict visa policies, relatively underdeveloped tourism infrastructure and virtual isolationism) In any case, I required lots of local knowledge and expertise, which Advantour/Sevara and the local guides all provided with a near-seamless experience. Despite the many airport transits and border crossings in my trip, I was picked up by local guides and drivers at every point, which was hugely reassuring even for a seasoned, 10+ year solo backpacker like myself. All the guides and drivers were knowledgeable, professional, friendly and accommodating, some of whom have left me with deep impressions and wonderful memories I don't think I'll ever forget. I stayed at a total of 8 accommodations in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan (including one night at a yurt in the middle of the Karakum Desert, which was quite the adventure of a lifetime...!!), and all of them were satisfactory options that Advantour / Sevara had sourced. On the whole, I cannot say enough good things about the level and quality of service of Advantour, and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to explore Central Asia without having to deal with the logistical and administrative headache. Oh, and they even gave me a lovely ‘Certificate of Exploration’ for having traversed all the 5 CA stans, which I thought was a nice touch :)

Advantour is awesome!! Really stress free, Sevara from the company replied me promptly and facilitated everything from start to end. It was the easiest tour company I've ever dealt with and definitely no hard-selling. Took the best of Bukhara 3-day tour as I've seen some of Uzbekistan and I wanted to learn as much as I could about Bukhara. The finalised plans were emailed to me to look over ahead of the trip, and it was simply amazing, with the perfect amount of free time in between for shopping and relaxing. All was planned perfectly without me having to rush from one place to another. Farhad was my driver in Bukhara and he is so friendly! He was telling me about Bukhara and Uzbekistan and I really enjoyed his company. He made sure I was very comfortable throughout. The hotel (As-Salom) was really cool! It felt like I was living in a really cosy home instead. Breakfast was really really nice, the staff are friendly. I loved it. Location was REALLY really great too, walking distance to everywhere, restaurants shops and ATM are all so close by! Thank you for putting me there :) And my guide Yura was beyond AMAZING. I've travelled a lot and had guides who sometimes make up stories to make the place sound more interesting, and some guides are very boring and usually do not say much.... but Yura is INCREDIBLE. He explained all the historical facts about EVERYTHING. I love history and learning and I was really impressed with how much knowledge he has and I learnt so soooo much. It was the most interesting, informative walking tour I've ever had. Sometimes I wonder if he is a historian or a professor ahaha he is truly fascinating to listen to. And thank YOU Sevara, so much for arranging everything. It was stress-free, amazing and I definitely recommend to anyone else that will be visiting the region.

If you are travelling to Uzbekistan this is the agency that can help you. Excellent organisation! Our trip, two weeks in November 2017, was a tailor made one, conceived by us, and they made all the arrangements. On the very first day we were given all our tickets for our internal flight and trains. Everything went without any problems. Uzbekistan still has the old soviet style bureaucracy. Advantour made all that transparent and easy. All our drivers were excellent, some spoke more English than others but all were pleasant and all the cars were of a good standard. They assign you an advisor who works with you the whole trip and they are extremely fast with their responses. Our advisor was Gulsanam Rozikova who is perfect speaking English. She helped us with everything that we needed help with and delivered it with absolutely no problems at all. 5 star service. When we arrived she gave us her mobile telephone number with an assurance that we could phone her, day or night, if we had any issue. This was so very reassuring. Thank you Gulsanam for all your help. The people of Uzbekistan are among the nicest of any place we have traveled in. They are friendly and helpful. They welcome tourists and the food is delicious. The monuments of the Silk Road were remarkable and very well restored. We highly recommend Advantour for a trip in Uzbekistan. We had fantastic life experiences with their help.

"Tashkent Adventure Company, excellent and highly recommended" We have just returned 2 couples from a comprehensive 12 day trip to amazing Uzbekistan. We contacted the company following the recommendations Shavkat Khodjaev, a senior representative of the company, answered on the same day and thus began regular communication, both during the pre-flight period and during the stay in Uzbekistan. We made changes to the plan following Shawkat's advice, and immediately after we closed the route we sent an advance. Shavkat closed domestic flights, trains, drivers and guides (we booked an international flight and hotels, in retrospect we had to allow Shavkat to book the hotels as well) I want to thank the agency but especially Shavkat for their patience, and impeccable and trouble-free organization that made the trip experience amazing, great drivers who arrived well before the scheduled time and no matter what time, a pampering van, excellent guides with English speaking knowledge (not obvious, direction That the English language is not common in Uzbekistan) who instructed beyond the set time and a much lower price than companies in the country. Highly recommend the agency, excellent, reliable and quality, and especially to Shavkat their representative who was always at our disposal at any time, any request and change was immediately made to our satisfaction.

We went on a 3-5 stan tour and Sevara from Advantour was patiently helpful in answering all our questions. The Advantour tour package was magnificently organized that we had no issues with country/border crossing, hotel or trip arrangements. Everyone from the tour guides, to the drivers and the accommodation staff were very friendly. The choice of hotels were so rightly chosen that they were all right smack in the middle of everything. Everyone took good care of us. Always. I highly recommend Advantour to anyone wanting to visit Central Asia. As to the places, i cant believe that people do not go more to these countries. I was surprised by how nice people were in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. They would approach us for pictures and were always all smiles. Your hands will hurt waiving on the bus because everyone who sees the bus literally would wave at us. The place itself is so full of history and old buildings that you will always be at awe. Darvaza Gas Crater was mind blowing. Where else can you see a crater burning since 1971 and be able to take selfies so close to it. One thing to note is that some toilets are floor toilets so be ready for that. Keep toilet papers handy.

In September 2021 I could finally join the classic tour organized by Advantour. We had to postpone it twice due to the covid pandemic. The support from the travel agency was exceptional. They reorganized slightly the tour considering the current restrictions, which were mainly linked to flight connections. The travel by train was exciting. I was surprised how good the infrastructure is in Uzbekistan. We could enjoy everywhere all the comfort we are used to in Europe. On the other hand, we could experience the magic of the old orient. The old cities of Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand are incredibly beautiful. I was completely overwhelmed as I was not expecting to find so many testimonials of the cultural highlights of the Middle Age. I visited the school of Avicenna in Bukhara: it is still there! The Registan Place in Samarkand is the most beautiful place I ever saw! And by the way: the food in excellent, the people are very friendly. I cannot speak neither Russian nor Uzbek, but I did not feel lost at all in this country. If you appreciate the heritage of the Old Orient, you should go to Uzbekistan.

Visiting Samarkand, the highlight of the Silk Roads, had long been an aspiration of mine and Advantour were brilliant in helping arrange this. For a few months, I was in contact with Sevara Tillayeva who was absolutely fantastic; extremely helpful, patient and tailored the ideal tour of Samarkand and day trip to Penjikent, Tajikistan. Once we arrived in Samarkand, Advantour had very knowledgeable tour guides who showed around all the main sites of the city. They were all relaxed, friendly and allowed plenty of opportunity to explore the incredible monuments. They also helped recommend restaurants and bars good for tourists. This was the same in Penjikent with a separate tour guide and driver. Speaking of which, we were driven from site to site by great drivers and I was very grateful for the airport transfer service as part of the tour. Overall, if you are considering visiting Samarkand or elsewhere in Uzbekistan, I cannot recommend Advantour highly enough. They will help organise your perfect itinerary and the tour guides were very accommodating and helpful. A five-star review from me.

My wife and I booked a 16 days Kyrgystan and Uzbekistan private tour from Advantour. Our tour consultant, Anvar provided excellent service from the start of planning to the trip itself. From the start of our planning for Central Asia, there were many emails exchanged. Itineraries were proposed by Anvar and he patiently answered all our queries and was very flexible to adjust the many iterations of the itinerary, including vehicle type and hotels to our satisfaction. For the trip itself, Anvar kept in constant contact throughout our trip to check on us. He promptly provided the contact details of the drivers and guides along the way and this proved useful as we want to adjust our itinerary as the day passes. He is always reachable at all times. The drivers and guides provided were polite and professionals. From a price point, we considered it reasonable when we compared with other quotes received. We thoroughly had an enjoyable and memorable trip and would not hesitate to use the services of Advantour when we see back.

Uzbekistan Excellent Tour Shavkat at Advantour Travel planned an Uzbekistan trip of a lifetime for us---two couples. We were three weeks in Uzbekistan, and Shavkat knew exactly how to make every day count. He was attentive to all our specific interests, for example, finding someone to take us to an historically important mountain pass, untraveled by tourists, and actually unknown to many guides. I am sure I must have sent Shavkat over 100 emails, trying to get the trip detail-perfect, and he never complained, always giving his best advice promptly, and telling us what was doable and what was not. The hotels and local guides he found for us worked very well. Ask for Kurban as a driver in western Uzbekistan. He doesn't speak English, but he understands every need. For opera in Tashkent, local markets in the Fergana valley, meaningful contacts with Uzbeks, and, yes, the unpredictable---but ultimately successful---hunt for native wild tulips, thank you Shavkat and Advantour. Advantour's fees were very reasonable.

First of all we would like to thank and express our gratitude to ADVANTOUR for organizing our special trip through the wonders of Uzbekistan. Every details of our stay has been perfectly organized, the tour, the transfers ( by car, by plane and by train), the location of the hotels and we really appreciate the efficiency and professionalism of our guides. We want to give a specila thank to Shavkat for his prompt responses, his attention to every details, his assistance and help during the booking process and during our Tour in Uzbekistan. He gave us an exceptional service but even more he made us feel at home during our stay. A second specila thank is for our driver Fahriddin.! We will keep this tour to Uzbekistan always in our hearts and memories, not only for the beauties of the country but for the hospitality of its wonderful people. We truly recommend ADVANTOUR and we hope to have the chance to travel with you again in the near future. THANK YOU ; GARZIE DI CUORE Luisa, Jose, Maria and Amelia

I contacted Advantour from Italy for assistance in a tailor-made trip to Uzbekistan. The person who assisted us, Sevara, was prepared, kind and super fast in answering to all my e-mail. When arrived in Uzbekistan, the trip was managed perfectly and all my requests have been met. We really appreciated all the people we met, everyone was nice, prepared and left us a pleasant memory, but we want to give a special mention to the guide we had in Buhkara and the driver that brought us to the yurt camp and then to Samarkand! Very good Italian (the guide) and English (the driver)! unfortunately I don't recall their names but we appreciated them even more that the others (that we appreciated a lot, anyway)! A special mention also for the Amulet hotel in Buhkara: nice staff, amazing breakfast and accomodation! Finally, I have to say that Uzbekistan has been a wonderful destination: stunning places, nice people, good food! I will for sure suggest Advantour to anyone should come visit this wonderful country!

We can't say enough good things about this company. We used them to arrange our time in Uzbekistan. From the very beginning of our planning with all the numerous emails with constant questions and various changes to the itinerary Sevara always answered quickly and professionally and was able to handle all our requests. She booked the hotels, the plane ride, the train ride and arranged for drivers and guides. Even when transportation options changed at the last minute she was on top of it and we got where we wanted to go. All of the drivers were outstanding and the guides were personable and helpful. The hotels were excellent choices for us and we loved where we stayed. Our tour had a little bit of everything, the architecture, the history, the people, the crafts, the food and did I mention the people? What an outstanding visit we had. We just barely scratched the surface in our weeklong adventure. Should we get the chance to return I know who I'm contacting first. Thank you Advantour Travel.

I would highly recommend Advantour (Ekaterina Tolstikh and colleagues) for efficient and well organised itineraries. The customer service is very good. Uzbekistan is a beautiful and progressive country with friendly and beautiful people. I have been able to learn about the country's long history and have experienced the colours and scents of various cities i.e. Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand with their characteristic architectures, museums, mausoleums, madrasahs and very clean markets. Special mention to our wonderful tour guide Mansur (Bukhari) for making our trip worthwhile. I continued my adventure by crossing the border from Jartepa to Tajikistan. I would highly recommend combining your visit with Tajikistan. This country has the most beautiful mountains, lakes and falls! If you love nature, you'll love Tajikistan. The people are the most accommodating and friendliest people on earth.

Highest level professionalism both on the side of the agency and the guides and drivers they hire for a specific group. We booked the Clasic Uzbekistan tour (1 week), but for custom dates in Oct 2022. The itinerary is well thought out, starting from Tashkent, then Khiva (most "modest" look), Bukhara, to full glory and splendor of Samarkand. Internal travel is quick and reliable (flights, trains between cities, cars within cities). Guides and drivers were 100% reliable and knowlegable, and talking to them gives an interested and varied view of the country (some guides may have teacher-like approach and will ask how much you understood :-) ). All reservations (hotels, trains, etc) worked perfectly, hotels were top class. The architecture and citiscapes are splendind, food - very tasty. Uzbekistan is certainly a place worth visiting and Advantour - highly recommended choice for tour organization.

Thanks to a friend's recommendations, we chose Advantour for our private tour to Uzbekistan and Georgia. Just my husband and myself (in our 70's). With carryon luggage only and my camera bag, we embarked on a beautiful adventure. Our guides and drivers were all excellent and they made our trip. Madina in Bukhara had an encyclopedic grasp of cultural and historical information. Susana was a colorful personality and showed us incredible sights in Samarkand. Vadim introduced us to some fun shops with handmade items in Tashkent. Even having tea with our guides was fun and educational. Our drivers also were kind, timely and often early. We never had to worry about arriving on time at the airports or train stations. The colors of Uzbekistan are wonderful and Advantour made sure we had plenty of time to see them and photograph them. We will use them again when we return to neighboring countries!

We booked a 15 days Uzbekistan tour with Advantour and we received a great service from start to finish, thanks to Shaukat who arranged the tour for us. Our tour was tailored to our needs and it was spot on. The tour guides affiliated with the company were great and our driver Ilhom was a gem, he looked after us really well and made sure we had enough water in the car and that we were comfortable throughout the journey. We had an issue with one of the hotels in Samarkand, the power went off in our hotel due to some fire nearby. I contacted Advantour to see if they could move us as the heat was unbearable. Without any fuss, they arranged us to move into another hotel for no extra cost. Great customer service. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend them 100%.

I really have no words to express how much I liked the trip. I made the Central Asia Inmersion Tour, travelling around the 5 stans. Everything, and I really mean everything, was absolutely perfect. I loved the quality of the guides, the explanations and knowledge of them were fantastic, and all of them besides were really nice and thoughtful and always trying to make the experience the best for me. Hotels, guesthouses and yurt camps were absolutely great, better even than what you were advertising. And I feel I really had a great first view of the countries. The itinerary was really comprehensive and varied, and it allowed me to appreciate the differences between the countries, and also how wonderful they are. Keep with the good work and congratulations.

I booked a 14 day tour June 14th to June 29th 2022 in Uzbekistan. From my first inquiry into booking a custom tour Advan was very fast at responding and explaining in detail what my options were. Once I was in the country they were easily available when problems arose and fixed them immediately. The drivers were always on time even when I would arrive at weird hours like 1am or 2am in the morning. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and often times went above and beyond what was required of them. I felt like I was at a University taking a class with how much information they knew. I strongly recommend using Advan tour to go to Uzbekistan. Thank you for the great trip and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Me & my nice had a private tour to Uzbekistan from 19 to 29 Dec, arranged by Shavkat, one of the travel consultant. She responded very promptly and I find that she is a very reliable travel consultant. Our whole journey was very well organized, smooth without any hiccup. Tourist guides were knowledgeable & enthusiastic in all cities that we visited. Drivers were friendly & most were able to speak English. We enjoyed most is Mr Alicair, who drove us fr Tashkent to Chimgan & Beldersay hotel & fetched us the next day & drove us to several places back in Tashkent. Hotels were great & of above all, Uzbekistan is beautiful. Will travel to other parts of Central Asia with Advantour. So, I highly recommend Advantour for trip to Central Asia.

Advantour, put together a fabulous tour of Uzbekistan for us and their local knowledge proved to be a huge bonus. For example, we took a 40 minutes flight from Tashkent to Khiva. Other travellers we met in our hotel had done an 8 hour, uncomfortable road transfer with nowhere to buy food or drinks en route. All the suggestions made to us by Advantour added up to the best possible tour we could have wished for. Their communication was excellent, there were no language problems whatsoever and they couldn't have been more helpful. Our guides, drivers and tours were excellent. The hotels booked for us were in good central locations and of a good quality. We were so happy we'd booked with Advantour and would definitely use them again.

On recommendation of a colleague, we booked a tour of Uzbekistan with Advantour in 2017. From the very start, we dealt with Gulsanam Rusikova, she was highly professional in every detail. My wife and I had the most extraordinary 10 day tour of an amazing country. I was highly impressed by the professionalism of the guides, and in particular the drivers. Everything was catered for and we had the holiday of a lifetime. I have since recommended Advantour to many friends and colleagues, we hope to travel with them again as soon as the pandemic allows, possibly to Georgia or Armenia. I would recommend this firm to all without hesitation, and I hope to use them again in the near future.

Our group of 8 just returned from a trip to Central Asia and South Caucasus organized by Advantour. We spent 35 days basking in phenomenal culture, beautiful landscapes and most of all the people were so welcoming and friendly. We did an active itinerary so we get to experience their outdoors intimately. Most of the activities were hiking but we also did whitewater rafting. Advantour did an amazing job in organizing all our activities from airport pickup on arrival to airport drop off on departure. Almost all the hotels were top notch and the guides were truly amazing. I would highly recommend Advantour if you’re interested in Central Asia or South Caucasus.

I've been at uzbekistan for 8 days & having advantour for the guide of our tour.The tour guide and the driver at tashkent were very helpful in guiding us in every things we need in fact the guide did go the extra mile and tell us where to go when we have our own free time. When we were at samarkand the tour guide was also the same ,in fact when were with her is lime a school history lesson,she explain with full of detail. I will gives a thumbs up.... All of them were helpful with my parents condition and were patients with us. The only things that bother us was the temperature but all of it was worth it. Having them as our tour guide..........

: We recently completed a private tour - 4 people and 4 Stans. I would like to congratulate Advantour for the organization and implementation of our tour. Everything in our tour went like clockwork. We were met at each destination with our driver and guide, all of whom were fully cognizant of our itinerary and plans. Each of our guides were interesting and interested, and full of information about the places that we visited. We chose the 'comfort' option for our accommodation and the hotels chosen by Advantour more than adequately met our needs. We can highly recommend Advantour if you wish to visit the Stans

My daughter and I took a customized, personal tour of some 15 days around Uzbekistan. Olga was our representative and she patiently and efficiently took us through the planning stages and the many questions that arose along the way. There were many arrangements involved including numerous guides, several drivers, a flight within the country, an overnight plane trip, tickets for entrance to many sites and a final pick up at 3:00 AM for a return flight to the US. Despite all the "working parts", everything went flawlessly. We had a great time and recommend Advantour (and Olga) highly.

6 friends and I recently completed an incredible 14-day tour of Central Asia with Advantour. I highly recommend this travel agency for their amazing customer service and marvelous knowledgeable guides. Sevara patiently assisted us with planning and was ultra responsive to all of our inquiries. Our tour leader Jamsheed and all of our guides exceeded our expectations and made our journey through the Stans a trip of a lifetime. We can't wait to work with Advantour again in the near future for our trip to the Caucauses. Thank you so much again for taking care of all of us, Advantour.

Thank you, Advantour (Ms Olga), for making this tour happen on such short notice. We want to commend our tour guide ( Umarjon) on the excellent job he did.  Although there wasn't much to see of great beauty on the tour, the guide was very interesting, answered all our questions about Tajikistan, and left us wanting to return at another time to do a longer tour with him. The timing at each stop was perfect, and he didn't pressure us to buy anything or take us to tourist traps, which was wonderful. His English was impecable, and we had no problem understanding each other.

We highly recomand and thank Marat  Askarov Travel Consultant of Advantour in Tashkent branch, who answered our many questions with lot of patience, for a beautiful trip  and for sending us Marifat as our guide. Marifat guided us to a day trip to the mountains, to Chimgan and Charvat, with a lot of great atmosphif and humor . Her endless knowledge, kindnees and weinning personality and ofcourse her excelent english, made this day so very special, full of joy and excitments. Together with the kind driver Sarvar, they were  perfect team for perfect day. Galia and Sarit

We just returned from a 3 week plus trip to the Four Stans which was planned and run by Advantour. In all of my years of traveling, Advantour were by far the easiest tour company with which I have had to deal. All email requests (and there were many) were always answered promptly and all requests were fulfilled (well, they could not open the country of Turkmenistan, but....). The tour went off with no problems or issues. The itinerary provided was excellent, the guides were informative and interesting and the logistics were handled with no issues. Highly recommended!

We did a private tour with Advantour in March 2018 around Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kirgizstan and Kazakhstan. Our agent, Sevara Fayzieva, was extremely nice and helpful. We had an amazing tour: everything was perfectly planned and although the logistics were a bit complicated (trains, flights, crossing borders, etc), Advantour managed this outstandingly well. Our guides were very nice, knowledgeable and spoke great English. I will definitely recommend Advantour (and Central Asia) without any doubt! I cannot wait to do another tour with them.

In May 2022 we took the Afrosiyob fast train between Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, booking online through Advantour. Early booking is essential for these popular trains. We chose the top class, VIP, for $US55.00 each, good value for money. We sped through interesting agricultural land, and arrived on time at both destinations. Ten years ago train travel between these cities was a good experience but now it's even better and we highly recommend it. We're also happy with Advantour, the agency was helpful, professional, and prompt.

Our trip was amazing! The Stan Countries were fascinating and Advantour did an impeccable and surprising organisation of our trip. Excellent guides, drivers, places visited. Roza Khasanova the travel consultant based in Tashkent was unbelievable ! She is intelligent, extremely professional, responsible, answered my emails and watts app promptly and organised my whole trip advising me but understanding and respecting what I wanted. Thank you Roza! Special thank you for the marvellous guides! My grade is 100!!!!!

Najib Barati The tour was wonderful and was arranged in a matter of days and exceeded our expectation. The guides, drivers, hotels and all the arrangements were excellent. We got to visit all the important historical places in Samarkand, Tashkent, Bukhara and Khiva and learned its history. Uzbekistan food specially the kababs are exceptional and people are very friendly and helpful. I want to thank the Advantour team for the wonderful arrangement in such a short notice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We went in Uzbekistan for two weeks in September 2013. Our tour was arranged by Advantour. The organization of the tour was perfect. Drivers were serious, prudent and always timely, guides were professional and very good with English language. The travel consultant was excellent: efficient and always available to answer to our requests. All of them were very very kind.Hotels were good. n some cases we staied in historical location. All the tour was a marvellous experience. I reccomend it to everyone.

Our guest had amazing trip to Uzbekistan. It was planned by Ms. Roza at Advantour. Trip was very well executed and all services like transfers, guides, sightseeing, drivers etc. were amazing. Thank you Ms. Roza for arranging everything with perfection in short span of time. Advantour staff is very supportive and helpful and always ready for travel options based on traveler's requirements.

The tour was excellent and we enjoyed a lot. perfect organizing and The team is magnificent. The tourists guides have explained us the history in a very beautiful ways that we enjoyed listing to them. The restaurants and traditional food selection were facilitated and delicious. The mountain trip was spectacular with outgoing driver. Thanks for taking care of every requested details and be in touch with us in the tour duration.

A fabulous immersion in Uzbekistan covering history, culture, art, architecture with opportunities to visit with locals.Shavkat Khodjaev was our personal rep at Advantour who was most helpful in planning the trip and later in adapting some scheduled programs to meet our specific interests. We offer full recommendation of the agency and especially of this beautiful country that deserves to be discovered more widely.

My wife and I highly recommend Advantour for any trips you are thinking of planning in Uzbekistan. Sevara spent a very large amount of time assisting us preparing for our two week holiday.She has exceptional knowledge of the Country and she answered all our questions promptly and in great detail. We have travelled around the world many times and this company is without doubt the best we have ever experienced.

All your needs for a tour operator are fulfilled by Advantour. Here you will be cared for fully, from the minor to major considerations. I dealt with Lemara and she is the most perfect organiser you could hope for. Very accommodating too to your personal plans and ideas. Good for travel throughout Uzbekistan. You can most definitely trust these tour operators for a safe, satisfying and very memorable trip.

My wife and I had a seamless 10-day Silk Road trip put together by Roza Khasanova at Advantour. Every stop was perfectly planned with private car and driver, train and airport pickups and great hotels. Roza was very responsive in great English and made it all so easy for us to enjoy the trip without any stress. She was even able to arrange for travel in Kazakhstan. Highly recommend Roza and Advantour.

Our travel experience in Uzbekistan was fantastic. We had the opportunity to visit a country rich of history enjoying a PERFECT organization by Advantour. Guides, Hotels, museums, places to visit, drivers...everything was planned and managed perfectly. Furthermore, Advantour added a TOP level customer care, adding some little and appreciated attentions to us. I am already missing Uzbekistan.....

A very professional organization, responding quickly and with clear information about the proposed tour and its pricing. The tour proceeded as planned, with professional service throughout, and with support from the organization for any contingencies. Moreover, the organizer showed very helpful flexibility about last-minute changes in the number of tour participants. Strongly recommended.

We would highly recommend Advantours for your Central Asia plans. We had dealt with Mariam in 2022 to organize a custom trip to Azerbaijan and Georgia. This year we did the Four STANS coordinated by Sevara from Advantour. The tour was organized superbly, the guides, tours and accomodation were all excellent and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend this company for your travel plans !

My brother and I just finished an 8 day tour of Tashkent and Samarkand and were lucky to have found Marat at Advantour to help us with airport transfers, train tickets, and guided tours. Everything came off wonderfully, prices were very reasonable, and Marat was quick to provide us an itinerary and checked on us daily. I highly recommend Advantoyr Marat, and spectacular Uzbekistan!!

Extremely professional tour operator, tour (we took one this October) with very good drivers and flight arrangement, well-run and stylish hotels, detailed on-arrival information, and attentive while very knowledgeable guide for the whole trip. Uzbekistan is such a dream destination for art and history, and Advantour did a great job to realize the wonderful journey.

We had excellent Uzbekistan tour. Tour organisation exceeded expectations . All tour guides and drivers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Many thanks to Rosa, our excellent trip coordinator. She added a personal touch to this trip. Me and my sister, we had a feeling that we are not tourists but personal Advantour guests in this wonderful country.

We did the Relaxed Group Tour of Uzbekistan with a 2-day extension to Penjikent in Tajikistan: the tour was very interesting, good guides, hotels were very centrally located and all the organization of the tour was excellent, everything went without a glitch. We definitely recommend Advantour, it is a very professional and efficient company.

A brilliant personalised tour which achieved an excellent balance between exploring the past and more recent history of Uzbekistan. The whole 9 days could not have run more smoothly. Drivers and guides were well chosen, friendly and very well informed. We would highly recommend anyone wanting to travel in Uzbekistan to use Advantour.

Advantour is the best travel agency for Central Asia. I booked a 13 day private tour covering Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and, of course, Uzbekistan. Shavkat did a very good job in planning the itinerary and selecting excellent guides. It was a fantastic and unforgettable tour. I strongly recommend Advantour and Shavkat !!!!

I was with the 14 days 5 Stans tour in April 2018. The tour far exceeded my expectations. It was really well organized, the guides were great and especially Zahid who knows so much of the interesting history of the sites we visited. I´d recommend Advantour if you are looking for a tour to ancient exotic Silk Road cities and sites.

Advantour gave me an effortless tour to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Every detail was beautifully organized and I was free to just enjoy the wonders of Tajikistan on Nawruz. The guides were so well informed, and they gave me much historical and cultural information. I hope to travel again soon with Advantour.

Very happy with my experience with Advantour, who put together a solo tour for me in Kazakhstan over 10 days, including Turkestan, Almaty and the Altyn-Emel National Park. All the arrangements worked perfectly, and the guides and drivers were professional, well-informed and helpful.

I recently took a private tour of Uzbekistan through Advantour. They made first rate arrangements as agreed. I had to change program due to flight schedules, they accommodated me patiently. Respond to messages/emails promptly. Overall a very good experience with ADVANTOUR.

A leading tour agency staffed by a professional team of travel and tourism experts who speak many languages, for instance, Roza and Anvar. I did the Desert Sand Castles tour with Advantour. I highly recommend it to tour the Central Asian Republics. Bon voyage!

We had an excellent trip around Uzbekistan, carefully planned and arranged by Sevara at Advantours. The guides and drivers were all excellent and the accommodation was comfortable. The sights in Uzbekistan are wonderful - we will come back to explore more.

Advantours organised an outstanding tour around Uzbekistan for me in May 2019. Their organisation and management was excellent, their guides knowledgeable and well-informed and their choice of itinerary, frankly wonderful!

We took a private tour in Uzbekistan arranged by Advantour and had an amazing experience in the country with them: excellent travel itinerary, amazing monuments, professional guides and drivers. Highly recommended!

I have used Advantour for trips to Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Every aspect of the service has been excellent. On a recent trip they went above and beyond to help me, when I had a local visa issue.

Excellent service from Farrukh at Advantour when buying train tickets across Uzbekistan. Clear communications, simple process and patient as we made changes to our itinerary. Very helpful and knowledgeable.
