I went on the Uzbekistan Adventure trip with Jonibek as the tour leader and it was an amazing trip! If you are on the fence, just book it. Amazing sites, history, culture, friendly people and left with new friends. 10/10 recommend. The weather was perfect at the end of October.

This trip was incredible. Before people would ask why are you going there? where even is uzbekistan? Isnt there a war going on near there? I didnt know how to reply then because i had no idea, but now those seem like very silly questions. Id ask them now, you dont know about Uzbekistan!? And im telling them all about it! We never caught a whiff of any danger of anything in or outside Uzbekistan. Our guide, Jonibek, took such good care of us and equipped us with so much knowledge that I'll be teaching courses to my family for months. I really can't recommend this trip enough to see a burgeoning country before tourism really takes off was a wonderful experience.

I am a solo female traveler and if you are too, hesitate not. Sign up today, or tomorrow if you need to sleep on it. Uzbekistan Adventure trip delighted me to my very soul. Your tour guide has your back, so you can relax and drink in every magical moment. Trust me, the magic is real!

Die Tour war fantastisch. Usbekistan ist ein tolles Land und es gibt so viel zu sehen. Man fühlt sich überall sicher und wird durch Intrepid perfekt betreut.

Uzbekistan, a land steeped in rich history and captivating culture, beckons travelers with its allure of ancient Silk Road cities, stunning architecture, and warm hospitality. For those seeking an efficient yet enriching journey, Intrepid's 9-day tour provides an excellent introduction to this mesmerizing nation. For those with the luxury of time, consider extending your adventure to neighboring Turkmenistan. Indeed, a great tour guide can make all the difference in transforming a good trip into an extraordinary one. Shukrat's expertise, passion, and genuine care for the group undoubtedly enhanced the adventure. His ability to share insights into the country's history, culture, and traditions enriched our experience, making it more meaningful and memorable.

What a GREAT experience. Uzbekistan is a hidden gem of a country, go there before it gets full of people because I'm sure it will! The trip is perfectly balanced by including big cities like Tashkent, impressive monuments and sites in Bukhara and Samarkand, the desert experience, and a lovely mountain village stay (a personal favorite). Our leader Jamshid went above and beyond to give us a very complete vision of his country and a great overall experience. We were very lucky to have him as our trip leader as we learned a lot from him, in many different ways. Definitely a country I will be back to!

Uzbekistan is a rich land of immense history that is rapidly progressing into the 21 century, expect terrific cuisine, historical sites and a OUTSTANDING tour guide in Jonibek. Uzbekistan is well worth a visit, you will not regret.

Uzbekistan - this trip was simply fantastic, some early starts and long days, but worth every moment to see the brilliant architecture and meet the friendly people that make Uzbekistan a jewel in the Silk Road

This trip surpassed my expectations and I feel very enriched by it. Uzbekistan felt a calm, resilient and happy country and its people were welcoming, very friendly and so generous. Jonibek our guide was fantastic; always happy to share his knowledge of history as well as current affairs. Nothing was too much trouble and he always tried to tailor the the trip to everyone's needs and make it look effortless, (and am sure it wasn't!) There was a good atmosphere in the group and it made the trip super enjoyable. Samarkand and Bukarah are incredibly beautiful and quite different from each other. Both with exquisite architecture, each with a character of its own. Tashkent is so green and so easy to navigate and its Russian Brutalist architecture is also part of the country's history and I was quite fascinated by it. The homestay was a wonderful experience, it really left a strong impression and the yurt a fun experience. All in all a very well-balanced trip. I think Samarkand could lose the paper workshop activity which was a bit boring and instead add another interesting site, there are so many to chose from! The Afrosiab museum should be an integral part of the visit, the majority voted to go as an extra and it was essential to understand the history of one of the most exciting ancient city in the world. All in all, Loved it!

Uzbekistan is a fascinating country with spectacular sights. Go before it becomes over-touristed. This trip is a great overview. The mountain village is charming and not included in many other tours. The only major place you miss is Khiva, which you should see, but is easy to visit independently.

The Uzbekistan Adventure trip was absolutely incredible. If you're wondering whether to take the plunge, just book it and go now before it's overrun with tourists. Bukhara, the homestay and yurt camp were highlights of this trip, though Samarkand and Tashkent were great. The country is beautiful, people are so friendly and the food is great! I wish the itinerary had included Khiva but I also wouldn't have wanted anything removed so I'd recommend adding on a few days at the end of your trip to visit Khiva. We had the best group and one of the best guides called Jonibek. His knowledge of history and his country was incredible. Book this trip now!

Excellent, refreshing and inspiring experience of a country which generally doesn’t garner a whole lot of attention. It manages to see a lot in only a week, but doesn’t feel rushed. A great trip, well worth your time and money!

Our trip to Uzbekistan was an amazing experience and our guide Lochin was perfect. I would highly recommend taking the trip with Intrepid

What a pleasant surprise Uzbekistan was! Full of hidden gems and fascinating history. Lochin was a brilliant guide who proudly showed off his country.

Uzbekistan is mesmerizing! We had a great couple of days and experiences the kindheartedness of the locals, great food, and beautiful architecture. Lochin was a fantastic guide, going above and beyond to accommodate us!

A wonderful introduction to Central Asia! Highlights of this trip would definitely be the yurt stay and the homestay in the mountains. The country has such friendly locals, delicious food and incredible architecture. I went as a solo female traveller and would highly recommend to anyone!!

Uzbekistan is a fascinating country, emerging as modern and confident while respecting its rich history. Intrepid does a great job showing off its beauty, culture, and people. Highly recommend for those who want to learn about Central Asia, Islamic culture, and the former Soviet Union. Very comfortable trip with adventure mixed in!

Amazing trip. I absolutely loved it and it totally exceeded my expectations. Uzbekistan is an incredible country. The architecture is amazing and I liked the balance of cities and historical sites with the quietness of the desert and mountains. Our tour leader jonibek was amazing. Book this. You won't regret it.

I wanted to visit Samarkand since ages and I thought that the rest of the tour would have been just a nice add on. Instead, Uzbekistan delivered all way through! Cities are great, people are great, food is great. As a keen photographer, this was a perfect trip; ff you are into taking pictures, this is basically an gigantic amusement park. I chose the tour without Khiva and organised a couple of days up there myself ahead of the tour, highly recommended!

Uzbekistan is a culturally rich and beautiful country. Our guide was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to make sure everyone was satisfied and happy. It was an incredibly intense holiday from the very beginning as we saw so many sites every day. I very much enjoyed the mixture of visiting towns and cities like Bukhara and Samarkand, with the trip out to the desert (visiting a beautiful mosque on the way), the night at the Yurt where we had the opportunity for a short camel ride, then the trip to the mountains and the homestay. Overall I had an unforgettable experience and very much enjoyed the trip.
