Accommodation

Below are the names of the hotels where we commonly have our customers stay. Note this is subject to availability. Night 1: Tashkent, Preferred Accommodation: The Hyatt Regency or Hampton by Hilton Nights 2-3: Khiva, Preferred Accommodation: Erkin Palace or Zarafshon Boutique Nights 4-5: Bukhara, Preferred Accommodation: Sahid Zarafshon Hotel or Hotel DiliMah Premium Luxury Nights 6-7: Samarkand, Preferred Accommodation: Hotel DiliMah Premium Luxury or Hotel Royal Samarkand This tour includes lodging for 1 night, specifically in Khiva. However, upon request, we can book accommodation for you for all nights at establishments which meet your needs. For years, we automatically included 5-star hotels in our travel packages. In the interest of our customers, we ultimately decided to reduce the price of our tours and encourage specifically those with higher expectations to simply request room upgrades. Why? Some of our customers want simple and clean but ultimately cheap rooms. Some of our customers want 4-star hotels and are willing to pay more. Others want nothing short of 5-star extravagance. There isnโ€™t a way to uphold ONE standard for hotels in our travel packages considering everyone has a different budget. What we CAN uphold are the standard and quality of our tours, all of which offer nothing short of a first-class experience. Again, upon request, we can upgrade your room type for the night included as well as book lodging for all nights on this tour. Let us know and we will provide you with pricing options.

Itinerary of your trip Uzbekistan: See & Experience It All In 8 Days, 1St Class Cus

  • Day 1 Day 1: Arriving Into Central Asiaโ€™S Most Popular Country & Having A Traditional Dinner Inside A Nativeโ€™S Home
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Arriving Into Central Asiaโ€™S Most Popular Country & Having A Traditional Dinner Inside A Nativeโ€™S Home

      Our tour starts in the capital that is Tashkent. Your tour with us today starts officially at 5:00pm. Please be in the lobby at this time, as your tour guide and driver should be waiting for you there. We are taken via a quick drive to a native Uzbekโ€™s home. There we watch how traditional food is prepared as well as have dinner. The combination of tasty cuisine, rich culture and good company creates an unforgettable experience.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Discovering The Characteristically Soviet Capital & Then Relocating To Khiva
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Discovering The Characteristically Soviet Capital & Then Relocating To Khiva

      Rebuilt as a model Soviet city following the 1966 earthquake, the capital of Uzbekistan is characteristically different from the historic gems that are Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand. NULLtheless, Tashkent retains much of its charm: bazaars, mosques and more. Not least, Tashkent is home to the best restaurants in the country. In the evening, we take a flight from Tashkent to Khiva.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Walking Through 600 Years Of History In A โ€˜Living Museumโ€™ Town
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Walking Through 600 Years Of History In A โ€˜Living Museumโ€™ Town

      The old town of Khiva retains more than 50 historic monuments and 250 old houses. Having an English-speaking and professional tour guide lead us through the beautiful streets makes all the difference in our day. The most spectacular area of Khiva is called โ€œIchan Kala.โ€ This is the walled inner area of the town. Since 1990, it has been protected as a World Heritage Site. The clustered array of mosques, madrassahs (religious colleges) and tiled minarets within an area of less than 3 kilometers (almost 2 miles) gives us a sense of how bustling this town historically was. Expect to see striking examples of Islamic architecture built over the span of 600 years.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Cruising Along The Silk Road & Getting A Massage In A Turkish Bathhouse
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Cruising Along The Silk Road & Getting A Massage In A Turkish Bathhouse

      We relocate from Khiva to one of Central Asiaโ€™s most spiritual destinations, Bukhara. Located on the Silk Road, this city has long served as a center of trade, scholarship, culture and religion. UNESCO has listed the historic center as a World Heritage Site. We spend as much time as possible sightseeing.

      The day ends at a traditional Turkish bathhouse (a.k.a. hammam). First we head into a room heated by a continuous flow of hot and dry air. This allows us to perspire freely. We then move to an even hotter room before we wash in cold water. After performing a full body wash and receiving a massage, we finally go to the cooling room for a period of relaxation.

      Note: The means of transportation from Khiva to Bukhara is via train or private vehicle, depending on the group size. Flights are available on selective dates. If you prefer a flight, please tell us. If available, we will let you know the difference in price. Usually, it is not much.

  • Day 5 Day 5: Exploring The Countryโ€™S Most Spiritual Destination Followed By Folkloric Music & Dancing
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Exploring The Countryโ€™S Most Spiritual Destination Followed By Folkloric Music & Dancing

      Home to about 140 architectural monuments, our private driver as well as our tour guide show us Bukharaโ€™s historical attractions. People have inhabited the region around Bukhara for at least five millennia and the city has existed for half that time. We feel the heritage as we walk Bukharaโ€™s streets and explore the sites. The evening ends at a venue where we watch folkloric dancing as well as listen to a traditional band.

  • Day 6 Day 6: Uzbekistanโ€™S Showcase City & Most Popular Destination
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Uzbekistanโ€™S Showcase City & Most Popular Destination

      After exploring Bukhara some more, we relocate to Samarkand. This city is undoubtedly a must-see destination for any traveler visiting Central Asia. Samarkand is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia, prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China and the Mediterranean. In 2001, UNESCO added Samarkand to its World Heritage List.

  • Day 7 Day 7: Wine & Cognac Tasting At A Vintage Winery, Ancient Crafts & Stunning City Architecture
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Wine & Cognac Tasting At A Vintage Winery, Ancient Crafts & Stunning City Architecture

      Along with sightseeing, we see how Samarkand has carefully preserved the traditions of ancient crafts: gold embroidery, silk weaving, engraving on copper and painting on wood. Another highlight for today is a visit to the Khovrenko winery. Its history dates back to the early 19th century. This is when a Russian pioneer winemaker launched his first wine production in the region. We taste some of the best varieties of Uzbek wines and different types of local cognac.
