Great organization by Davlat for our train tickets, chauffeur ride, taxi rides and organization - We booked the train tickets and a chauffeured ride through Davlat. He organized everything great, informed us about everything and booked us the tickets. All transports were on time and we had a free taxi pickup from the train station in Samarkand to the hotel. We could only get business and normal tickets on the Afrosib train instead of VIP, but this was still super clean and good and got money back from our advance payment, which Davlat personally brought us to our hotel. Davlat speaks and writes perfectly German. Thanks again for the great organization and the super nice interesting trip to Uzbekistan. We, three women, were traveling in Uzbekistan from 30.05.-10.06.2025 and were very enthusiastic!

Individual tour with warm accompaniment through a fantastic country - Uzbekistan is a country on the rise, so we decided to Booking Referral through a local travel agent. The organization, in a positive sense perfect accompaniment by the employees:innen of Afrosiab Travel was stunning from the beginning to the end of the 14 day trip. We felt 100% arrived, were well looked after, we had German speaking tour guides available and the best drivers of Uzbekistan. Short-term changes on our part to the itinerary were always implemented, the trip was supplemented with suggestions to exceed 100% satisfaction. A great agency, great people, a fantastic country. We wish Davlat and his team all the best and many more satisfied travelers! Thank you so much!

A wonderful trip in an enchanting country! - On our individual journey along the Great Silk Road, the team around Davlat accompanied us with great joy and information about the history and culture of the country. Even the preparation for the trip aroused excitement and anticipation. Davlat was very helpful with his knowledge and experience in putting together the trip with friendliness, commitment and competence. All of the points of the trip that were discussed and agreed upon were implemented precisely and with the personal commitment of the staff. We were received punctually and reliably at all stations and were able to enjoy our trip to the full. Whether transfer, hotels, flight and train tickets - everything worked out perfectly. We are happy to recommend Afrosiob Travel and would like to say a big thank you to Davlat and his team! Andreas and Birgit

10 Days in Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, but also in more remote parts on the trail of Alexander: Darband & Termez - I had a brilliant trip to Uzbekistan organised by Davlat. For context, I am British, 46, a husband and father, well travelled but this was my first non-work / non-family adventure outside Europe for years, and I have never been to Central Asia. I met four friends and we visited Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara together. Then I had five days to spare and wanted to see some of the more remote parts of Uzbekistan, i.e. the Sogdian mountains and a few sites of Alexander the Great. Davlat organised a brilliant trip with a driver and where relevant local guides. I was a bit worried about safety because Termez is on the border with Afghanistan and I was alone, but I could not have felt more safe. My driver (Aziz) was jolly (and safety focused), and guides informative. Russian (unless you speak Uzbek or Tajik/Farsi) was the most common language so the google translate app helped. Accommodation was a mixture of hotels and home stays. All were comfortable and amazing hosts. Saw the usual sites in Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. But also some some cool more off the beaten track sites where I was often the only visitor. Near Darband the Iron Gates and Darband Canyon and Kurangzol fortress and a hike into the foothills of the Gissar range (far west of the Pamirs): local guide Shaha was excellent). Near Termez, saw Kampyr Tepe (Alexander's city on the Oxus river) and the Archaeological Museum (latter, despite what you might think, is excellent). Davlat and his local guides / driver were happy to flex the itinerary as we went (Kurangzol was a last minute decision). He was super helpful, responsive and did his best to make sure I got the most out of my trip. He also did a quality referral to an agency in Tajikistan where I wanted to spend a few more days. I'd highly recommend him.
