Excursion tours in Central Asia

Excursion around the city of Tashkent and beyond. We thank Evgeniy Shabanov for two excursions around Tashkent and its surrounding areas. The day before, we went out of town – we visited the Amirsoy mountain resort, saw the Charvak Reservoir, the village of Khodjikent with its 850-year-old plane trees, ancient petroglyphs, and the Institute of Solar Physics. Our emotions were off the charts – the funicular, the vast expanse of water, we saw walnuts growing for the first time and even picked some! We felt like stalkers exploring the Institute of Solar Physics. Today's city tour turned our walk into a fairy tale! We walked the whole day, saw all the main sights, monuments, and public gardens, sampled national dishes in cafes, and even managed to buy tickets to the local theater! It was fascinating to learn about the country's history, customs, and traditions, how people live today, how monuments on the same pedestal have changed, and saw many mosaics on houses. We visited the Chorsu market and saw new products being made today, learning the history behind them. We toured the neighborhood and even visited a courtyard. The day flew by, and we'll definitely return to Uzbekistan to travel with Evgeniy and his team to other cities and neighboring countries.

Great trip to Chimgan Mountains Evgeniy was our driver, campmaker, guide, cook and car repair man all-in-one :-)
We spent three days in Chimgan Mountains with him in late August, and it was great. He really took care of everything, was nice, punctual, well-organized and a very experienced traveler who made our travel unforgettable. 'We highly recommend him!
Many thanks Evgeniy, good luck with your adventures and business and we hope we'll do more traveling with you in the future!

Short term trip to Chimgan mountains We decided on a very short term to spend one day hiking in the Chimgan mountains. The accommodation was great and the day hike with Lena was wonderful. We walked through less frequented parts of the national park and the views were amazing. Lena was taking care of everything, even cooked tea for us when hiking. The organization of the trip was perfect. We recommend Evgenij and his tour guide Lena for sure. For our next trip to the Chimgan mountains we know for sure who to ask.

Hike to Yukhin Peak The hike was organized to a high standard. The guide (Evgeny) was always supportive throughout the hike. He not only ensured safety and comfort but also captured beautiful videos and photos.

I recommend this hike or any other hike with xtrailtour to everyone!

In the future, I also plan to go on hikes with this organization!

Wonderful experience I'm from El Salvador and was discovering Uzbekistan for a couple of weeks.
With Xtrail I could go to the mountains and have a wonderful two-days trip, where everything was well organized, safe and enjoyable.

Dmitry, the guide, is a good person, he even spoke in Spanish with me. He was explaining many history and local insights, which I value the most.
F. The driver, was also very nice, we were always caring about me, and trying to communicate and make me feel comfortable.

I really appreciated their warm hospitality.

Bukhara-Samarkand-Tashkent I'd like to thank Evgeniy for organizing our unforgettable vacation. Thanks to the professional guides and driver who accompanied us throughout the week, we explored Bukhara, Samarkand, and Tashkent. I'd also like to highlight the convenient location of the guesthouses, as the evening walks were delightful!
