5.00My friend and I recently completed a 5–6 day tour of Uzbekistan, visiting Khiva, Bukhara, Tashkent, and Samarkand. The guides throughout the trip were very knowledgeable and provided excellent insight into the history and culture of each city. All of the cities were beautiful, but Khiva and Bukhara stood out the most. Some of the highlights included exploring the open-air museum atmosphere of Khiva’s Old City, visiting the vast markets and artisan workshops in Bukhara, and participating in a bread-making class in Samarkand. The food was delicious at every restaurant we visited, and the hotel accommodations throughout the trip were comfortable and enjoyable. One area for improvement would be communication between the tour operator and the local guides, as there were a few occasions where itinerary details or updates were not provided to the guides in a timely manner. Despite this, the guides handled everything professionally and ensured the trip still ran smoothly. Overall, this was a fantastic way to experience Uzbekistan’s history, architecture, food, and culture, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Central Asia.

5.00We are delighted with our trip to Uzbekistan with EVANEOS (Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand). From the beginning of the project, we were able to communicate easily with Narina from the ANUR TOURS agency, who was attentive to us and very responsive. We appreciated: the hotels very well located, the well-thought-out organization of the days, the respected schedules, and the punctual and careful drivers. Our guide DAVRON, who speaks French perfectly, was very attentive, fascinating, and eager to help us discover the history of the visited cities and their treasures. These 8 days on site will be unforgettable. A big thank you for their kindness.
Very beautiful discovery.

5.00Everything was perfect. Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. We were lucky to have him; he shared countless insights and provided podcasts from Arte to listen to during the trips! The agency is very responsive and attentive, very concerned about our comfort, allowing for early check-in upon our very early arrival from Paris, which enabled us to rest before the start of the visits.
Perfect experience!

5.00Just returned from a one week vacation in Uzbekistan. Elina from Anur Tours organized a tailor -made individual roundtrip to the ancient cities of the silk road for me. It was a great cultural experience. Very good guides and drivers. Charming boutique hotels. Elina even managed to get a ticket for the high speed train for me although it was fully booked. I can highly recommend this travel agency. Would give 6 stars if I could.
Nice trip.

5.00Narina from the Anur Tour agency organized for the four of us a tour of the Silk Road cities in Uzbekistan. Everything was perfect: the comfort of the hotels ** and ***, the visits with perfectly francophone guides, the professionalism of the drivers, the transport between the cities by plane and train. As for the hotels, they were all comfortable and quiet, well located in the center of the cities (Old Tashkent in Tashkent, Minor Boutique in Khiva, Old Bukhara in Bukhara, Billuri Sitora in Samarkand). The staff spoke English, but special mention at the Hotel Billuri Sitora in Samarkand where the owner also spoke French.

Payment was clearly mentioned 30% on booking and remaining a month prior to travel .Marjona would always acknowledge money and even gave us receipt for transactions .
