On behalf of our whole cheerful group, I want to express sincere gratitude to the entire X-Trailtour team, and especially to Evgeny Shabanov, for the unforgettable excursions to the Jade Lakes and Aksagata Canyon!

Hello
When we want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and recharge, we head to the mountains for a hike.
In our family, everyone knows who to call and text, who will take care of everything,……ZHENYA
Evgeny Shabanov has, one could say, made us fall in love with the mountains of Uzbekistan.
He showed us the most beautiful places: rivers, gorges, peaks and waterfalls.
All the hikes are interesting, with stories about the area and its possible inhabitants, what grows and when it blooms, and what natural phenomena shaped it.
Zhenya, thank you so much
See you on new hikes!

Our family and our friends (including 2 kids) enjoyed a a day tour to Sukok. Unfortunately the weather was not co-operating, it kept raining the whole day and due to this the whole rode in the mountains was muddy and slippery. But Evgeni´s excellent guidance, positivity and knowledge of the scenery made the day a most memorable for everybody despite some rides on the bottom :DWe ate the local "Green Somsas" on the way, drank water from the mountain well, crawled through the cave and inhaled the amazingly fresh air.On another day we also had lunch at a huge pilaff restaurant and after that a fascinating tour in the city. Evgenii is very competent and tells interesting stories. Everything ran smoothly and in a very friendly atmosphere, the tour bus was excellent and the driver super helpful. So we can only support your choise of Xtrail Tour!

The Uzbek vibe in all its beauty.
Those 7 days in Uzbekistan are still spinning in my head.
We started right away with the mountains. We headed to Chimgan, and it was the perfect decision. After a long flight, we were greeted by fresh air and cool weather. We climbed higher, looked out over the ridges, had rice soup and shashlik in some yurt, and realized we had already fallen in love. The mountains here are completely different: soft, green, not intimidating.
Then we went down to Tashkent. The city turned out to be a pleasant surprise: modern, with huge bazaars where your eyes run wild. In the evening we sat in a teahouse, ate plov and shashlik, drank green tea, and didn't want to leave anywhere anymore.
And then it took off. Samarkand… Registan is simply out of this world.
Bukhara is a universe of its own. Narrow streets, old courtyards, the Lyabi-Hauz square where people drink tea in the evening and nothing is rushed. Time really slows down there.
And the finale: Khiva.
In short, one of the tastiest and most heartfelt trips in recent years. Uzbekistan hooks you strongly and quickly.

Friends from Russia came to visit. They wanted to see the historic cities of Uzbekistan and our mountains. We were given the contact details of Evgeny's travel agency. We called, and told them what we wanted. They listened to us and put together several possible plans for our trip. We chose the most suitable option. In the end, our route started in Bukhara, what a magnificent city with its architecture. Then we headed to the Nuratau Mountains, stopping on the way in the town of Nurata, where we visited the sacred Chashma complex and walked around the remains of Alexander the Great's fortress. In the Nuratau Mountains we visited the wonderful villages of Sob, Sentob and Mazhrum. We spent the night in a guesthouse in the village of Hayat. What beautiful places, we didn't want to leave))) Then we went on to Samarkand. A beautiful city with lots of historic architecture. In the evening we looked in on the new part of Samarkand. It was beautiful too, but we still liked the old part, the mosques and minarets, better. And from Samarkand our friends flew home with a full load of positive emotions and extra kilograms gained from the delicious Uzbek cuisine)))

We want to say a huge thank you to Victoria for these wonderful two days! ❤️ Thanks to her, we didn't just see the beautiful sights of Tashkent, we truly immersed ourselves in the history, culture and traditions of Uzbekistan. We learned a lot of interesting things, tried national dishes and felt the special atmosphere of this amazing country.
And special thanks to Victoria for her responsiveness and willingness to help! In some situations she literally saved us, helped us sort out our problems and did everything to make the trip comfortable and leave us with only pleasant impressions and lots of great photos))
Thank you for introducing us to Uzbekistan, for your attention and your warm, heartfelt approach 🥰🫶

Welcoming, responsive and always ready to discuss new wishes and look for new ways to extend the trip. Evgeny put together an interesting itinerary in Uzbekistan in a short time. He helped with tickets, met us and saw us off. Where Zhenya could not be with us, he arranged guides. We felt calm and safe. Next time we come to Central Asia, we will go to Evgeny again — he has plenty of ideas and routes!
