When is the best time to visit Uzbekistan?
Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are considered the most comfortable: warm without extreme heat. Summers in Bukhara and Khiva are very hot; winters are cool, but there are far fewer tourists.
Do I need a visa?
It depends on your citizenship: many countries have visa-free entry or can use an e-visa. Rules change, so check the current requirements on official sources before you travel, or ask us and we will point you to them.
How do I book a tour?
Send a request on the website or write to us on WhatsApp or Telegram. We will confirm the dates, the number of travellers and your wishes, and then explain the next steps. [Add your booking and payment terms.]
Can the tour programme be changed?
Yes. Tell us what you would like to add or remove: cities, number of days, pace. We will discuss the options and suggest a programme.
What is included in the tour price?
Each tour page lists the services in two parts: what is included and what is paid separately. We give the exact price once the dates and the number of travellers are confirmed.
What is the currency in Uzbekistan, and are cards accepted?
The national currency is the Uzbek som. In large cities many hotels, restaurants and shops accept cards, but cash is more convenient at bazaars and in small places.
How do you travel between cities?
High-speed trains run between Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara; Khiva is reached by train, by plane to Urgench or by car. The transport for each tour is given in its programme.
What should I wear on the trip?
Ordinary comfortable clothes and shoes for long walks are fine. For visiting working mosques and shrines, bring clothing that covers shoulders and knees.
