Last-Minute Deals to China from Tashkent

First of all — we loved everything!

Tour of almost the entire country, two adults, 9 days, mid-April.

Initially, we were looking for package tours to cover as much ground as possible in a short period of time. We stumbled upon XtrailTour, represented by Evgeny Shabanov, while researching options around the Aral Sea. Evgeny quickly got involved and offered assistance in organizing the sightseeing itinerary and logistics not only for the Aral Sea but also for all the other cities and places we were interested in.

As a result, we had a wonderful individual tour of almost all the main attractions of Uzbekistan: Tashkent (+ the Institute of Solar Physics, Amirsoy, Charvak Reservoir) -> Samarkand -> yurt camp near Lake Aydarkul -> Gijduvan -> Bukhara -> Urgench -> Khiva -> Nukus -> Muynak -> yurt camp on the Aral Sea -> Nukus -> Tashkent

Once we'd agreed on everything on our “wish list”, Evgeny put together an itinerary for the entire route with contacts for the guides and transfers.

Great guides, good transfers, everything is very flexible, Evgeny and everyone else are always in touch.

Considering the tight time frame for preparing the tour, the many moves between cities, and the sometimes major changes we made to the itinerary along the way — there were no problems anywhere (we booked the hotels and some of the domestic transfers ourselves).

Communication was mainly via Telegram with everyone.

Getting around the country — transfers arranged by Evgeny, the Afrosiyob high-speed train, domestic flights, Yandex Taxi.

Let me emphasize once again that, as an individual tour, everything was as flexible and convenient for us as possible (wait for us here, let us take more time for photos there, let's also visit this place, etc.).

I would like to separately highlight the guides in Bukhara (Albina) and on the Aral Sea (driver Kasym and guide Ajiniyaz).

We saw almost everything we wanted (the weather made some adjustments). Without any incidents.

Very positive overall impression of the tour and the country as a whole!

I highly recommend XtrailTour and Evgeny.

We climbed Patandezbashi with Zhenya and two of my friends. Zhenya had loads of funny stories from life and facts about the mountains, so our climb was not only successful but a lot of fun too. We'll definitely go with him again, more than once 🙂

I liked how kind and cheerful the staff was. They helped us with minor difficulties. Thank you so much for your hard work! ♥️

Uzbekistan is the new Rome of modern history. The trip was a great success. I'd love to go back to warm and beautiful Uzbekistan once more. Thank you, Evgeny, for the tour

Thank you, Evgeny. Yukhin Peak was my dream, and thanks to you I achieved it. Thank you so much for patiently leading us to the summit. May we be blessed to conquer many more peaks together with you.
Evgeny (our guide) took care not only of safety and comfort, but also made beautiful videos and photos.

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

It was a pleasure spending time with such a wonderful guide. Evgeny showed us everything we asked for. We recommend him!

My wife and I, along with Evgeny, completed the hike to Yukhin Peak.

Let me say up front: the whole time it felt as if we had asked a friend who knows tourism and the mountains inside out to organize this trip for us.

Before the hike, I had a rather superficial idea of what awaited us. But in the end, everything turned out to be much easier, tastier, and more comfortable than I expected. Despite acclimatization and the physical exertion, we confidently completed all the stages of the planned itinerary and reached Yukhin Peak.

There were times when we felt tired. But the fatigue quickly evaporated as more and more mesmerizing panoramas of the Pamirs opened up before our eyes.

Zhenya was there throughout the entire route, offering advice on how to best adapt to the altitude and load, and helping with organizational matters.

Great views, a great guide — our adventure had it all 😁
