Nazmul Karim· November 11th, 2024Itinerary, tour guide and the accommodations were excellent. I would love to do this tour again with steppe journeys.Show moreTrip date: September 2024- AFAstrid· October 11th, 2024Wonderful trip through Central Asia, perfectly organized 21 days through Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan in August 2024 Since we, 3 Germans and Austrians, wanted to get to know all 5 Stan countries in Central Asia, we decided to book directly with Steppe Journeys (Tashkent). We did exactly the right thing! When we booked, we received immediate answers to our questions and everything went very smoothly in the 21 days on site (communication in English). Tour guides and drivers were ready on time in all countries/cities according to the program. They were all professional and very nice. The hotels were good/very good and mostly centrally or well located. At this point we would particularly like to mention the hotels in the old towns of Bukhara (Komil, in a historic building with a sensational dining room) and in Khiva (Zukhro, roof terrace with a great view over the old town of Khiva). An example of the excellent service: During the difficult entry into Turkmenistan, the Turkmen tour guide waited for us already before the whole procedure and accompanied us confidently through the various stations (customs declaration, visa, cashdesk, entry, customs, etc.). In advance, the tour guide / caravan steppe in Bukhara (Uzbekistan) considered our first aid kit to be too voluminous for Turkmenistan. Medications in particular pose a problem when entering the country as if they could be drugs (it is best to carry medication in the original packaging and with an information leaflet). In order to avoid any difficulties in advance, we had the opportunity to give a large part of our unneeded first aid kit to a driver from Bukhara to Tashkent. After re-entering Uzbekistan, we picked up the bag at the hotel in Tashkent on our last day. Based on our consistently positive experiences, we can highly recommend Steppe Journeys (taschenknt). We would like to thank Odil, Bobur and the entire team. Astrid F., GermanyShow moreTrip date: August 2024

Trip date: September 2024 - Hanh· October 3rd, 2024It was a good experience visiting five stan countries. Steppe Journeys, especially Odil, provided outstanding customer service before and during the trip. Local tour guides were all friendly and knowledgeable. Accommodations were generally comfortable throughout the trip, except for the guesthouse in the Seven Lakes, Tajikistan. Overall, it was a good trip, and I highly recommend Steppe Journeys to anyone who wants to visit the stan countries in Central Asia.Show moreTrip date: August 2024
- Xin· September 30th, 2024This tour is to visit 5 countries in Central Asia. I looked other agents. Only Steppe Journeys do a 5 countries in Central Asia and most agents does not do the trip in Turtmenistan. It is called Central Asia 21 day tour. In general, the tour was very good.Show more

- WPWilliam· September 27th, 2024Overall, a great introduction to the five Stans. Actually, 4 in my case, as the personality-Authoritarian President of Turkmenistan denies visas to professors and writers. All the guides were very knowledgeable, personable, with great Customer Service. There were a couple of “free nights” where we basically were left to our own devices. One night off was welcome break , I gave the agency advice that they should recommend options for dinners with traditional music to go to on our own. The agency was very open to this, and in fact added in restaurants with music to other free nights. They even paid for one and then added a farewell lunch! Above and beyond the call! This is a cultural tour and so Astana, Kazakhstan, a new, modern city of the future and probably the future Singapore of the five Stans was not included. I went on my own just before joining the tour. so pleased that I did.Show moreTrip date: September 2024
- Victoria· September 17th, 2024A fast-paced and thorough exploration of the 5 Stans. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional guides. Lots to take photos of and plenty of filling food. I recommend to anyone who isn't sure where they want to go in these counties. Very responsive head office too.Show moreSteppe Journeys commented on this reviewDear Victoria Thank you for sharing your reviews on this tour.

- Alex Dan· September 15th, 2024A balanced tour that has a wholistic view of historical, religious, cultural, nature and even food! The Local Tour leaders were very conversant and knowledgeable. Special call out to Nas of Kyrgyzstan & Kazakhstan, Dil of Tajikistan, Nur for Turkmenistan, Ashim for Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Anna for Khiva , Uzbekistan, Tursunoy in Sharkrisab, Zara for Bukhara Probably, an additional day should be added to cover Astana in Kazakhstan. The homestay accommodation at the 7 Lakes in Turkmenistan should be improved. But over-all, the experience was great! Thank you Steepe Journey.Show moreTrip date: August 2024
