Traveling with Silk Road Treasure Tours has been nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, every detail of our journey was thoughtfully arranged, making it a seamless and enriching experience.

Walking through the ancient cities of Bukhara and Khiva felt like stepping into a living fairytale, where history and legend intertwined. The beautifully restored sites, the charm of the old towns, and the vibrant atmosphere of local restaurants filled with live music made every evening feel special. We were deeply moved by the warmth and hospitality extended to us, especially the memorable lunch shared with Zulya’s wonderful family—her mother’s affection left a lasting impression on all of us.

Turkmenistan amazed us with its contrasts. The modern cityscape of Ashgabat was mind-blowing, while the fiery crater at Darwaza offered a raw, unforgettable adventure under the stars. Staying in yurts by the burning crater added an authentic touch to the experience, reminding us of the nomadic spirit of the Silk Road.

Our guides,in Uzbekistan  and  Turkmenistan, brought the region’s rich history to life. Their passion and expertise made every site visit meaningful and engaging.

While there were some challenges with food variety in Uzbekistan—particularly for vegetarians—the overall experience far outweighed these minor points. Turkmenistan pleasantly surprised us with its wider selection and higher quality of dining options.

We returned home filled with incredible memories, beautiful photographs, and stories we’re already sharing with friends. This was more than just a vacation; it was a journey through history, culture, and heartfelt hospitality.

We wholeheartedly recommend Zulya Rajabova and Silk Road Treasure Tours to anyone seeking a deeply authentic and expertly crafted experience along the Silk Road. We look forward to more adventures with Zulya Rajabova and her team in the future!
