This is the 4th time I have visited Uzbekistan and worked with Steppe Journeys each time. The trip I am on currently I am here by myself in the past I have brought groups of people and have never had an issue with Steppe journeys. They are always very attentive to the wants and needs of the group. Personally I want to see the crafts and textiles of Uzbekistan and have not been disappointed, our guide took us to see some amazing crafts people, weavers, dyers, block printers and ceramic artists! We also have taken a great cooking class. I will work with Odil and Steppe Journeys again, they really do a lovely job at putting together a trip to remember!

Very good partner in Uzbekistan. Our trip was well organized, the selection of hotels was also very good. There were expert tour guides at every location. Pick-up at the airport worked very well. Although we had a WhatsApp contact, we didn't have to use it because the employees were well informed. We can recommend the travel agency without reservation. Adam (Germany)

Odil arranged a private nine day tour of Samarkand, Bokhara and Khiva for my wife and me. Drivers in each city to pick us up and take us to train stations, airport, etc., and to visit the fantastic monuments; 4 star hotels, including fabulous breakfasts; and local guides who knew their cities well and spoke excellent English, all for a more than reasonable price. Javlon was our guide for the entire trip and we recommend him highly. These ancient cities are cultural treasures and should be at the top of the travel list of anyone who is interested in getting away from the conventional and overcrowded tourist spots. We have recommended Odil and Steppe Journeys to our friends and recommend them to you.
