Luxury Uzbekistan & Central Asia Tours

Evocative Silk Road cities, ancient archaeological sites, inspiring mountain and steppe landscapes and fascinating architecture are among the many highlights of our private tours in the countries of Central Asia—Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan—which together are also known as the ‘Stans.

The history and culture of the Silk Road live on in Uzbekistan, one of Central Asia's most evocative destinations. On our private Uzbekistan tours, experience the best of fabled Silk Road cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva—all UNESCO World Heritage sites—as well as modern Tashkent and the fertile Fergana Valley. Learn how Silk Road trade and a succession of invaders and rulers, including legendary Timur (Tamerlane), have created a diverse mix of people and traditions. Admire the ornate tilework, carved columns and blue domes of Uzbekistan's many beautiful mosques, madrassas and mausoleums. Walk through the medieval mudbrick neighborhoods of historic oasis towns. See Jewish quarters, synagogues and other legacies of Uzbekistan's Jewish community. Visit crafts workshops to watch local artisans create traditional Uzbek handicrafts such as suzani (embroidered textiles), handwoven khan-atlas (ikat) silk, metalwork and wood carving. Tour lively local markets, and perhaps learn to make Uzbek bread or hearty Uzbek plov (lamb pilaf) during a private cooking class. Throughout your private Uzbekistan tour, enjoy the warm hospitality of Uzbeks, who have welcomed visitors for millennia.

Our private tours in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan feature a wide range of experiences that best capture the region. Learn about nomadic culture, Silk Road influences and the rise of early cities at major museums and UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Tamgaly, Turkestan, Sarazm and Merv. See ancient petroglyphs, watch how nomadic hunters use trained eagles, hike among scenic lakes and mountains, explore dramatic rock formations, stay in a yurt camp, shop for handmade carpets and traditional felt crafts, walk through leafy city parks, and marvel at modern buildings and monuments that have transformed major cities in recent decades.
