Not tours. Journeys arranged the way you would arrange them yourself, if you had twenty years here.
Routes to begin with
Each itinerary is a starting point. Add a day, change a city, upgrade the hotel.
Silk Road Classic
The four great cities in one week: Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand, with a day across the desert and high-speed trains between them.
The Grand Journey across Uzbekistan
The whole country in eleven days: all four Silk Road cities, a night in a yurt beside Lake Aydarkul and a day in Shakhrisabz, the town where Timur was born.
Samarkand and Bukhara Express
Four days for the two most celebrated cities of the Silk Road, Samarkand and Bukhara, with the high-speed train between them and time to look rather than hurry.
From the capital to the Aral Sea
Regions with their own light, food and pace, a few hours apart by high-speed train.
Uzbekistan rewards those who slow down.
Four UNESCO old towns lie within a few hours of each other, yet the country is best taken slowly: a dawn at the Registan before the day begins, an afternoon in a potter’s courtyard in Rishtan, a night under the desert stars near Aydarkul.
We arrange the hotels, trains, guides and drivers so that the days feel unarranged. What you notice is the silence inside a madrasa, the taste of apricots in June, the welcome in a Bukharan courtyard.
One person, from first message to departure
Your itinerary is written by one travel designer based in Tashkent, who knows the hotels, the trains and the people, and who stays reachable throughout your journey.

Notes from Uzbekistan
The best time to visit Uzbekistan
Spring and autumn are the easy answer. What each season actually feels like, from the blossom of April to snow on the domes, and how to choose between them.
Getting around Uzbekistan: trains, flights and drivers
High-speed trains link the main cities in a few hours. When to take the train, when to fly, and when a car with a driver is the better choice.
