Uzbekistan, the Silk Road Traveller Reviews

Land and guides excellent

Friendly, responsive and competent

Very interesting, well organised without much time to spare

Very competent and thoughtful

Gaining insight into an "unknown" part of the world and events that have taken place there, some of which have impacted on Western Europe. Seeing and experiencing those places with magical names heard in childhood.

Thoroughly committed to ensuring that every individual member of a small group feels their needs and expectations are met. Each trip is carefully researched and balanced and attracts other tour members who provide excellent company. All the pre-trip help and information is readily available.

Our 14 day holiday exploring Uzbekistan was a most enjoyable experience appreciating the cultures of before and after the Old Silk Route. It was extremely well organised and the people of Uzbekistan were most hospitable.

Kudu Travel organises trips sympathetic to the local people and culture. They manage t get away from the main tourist route and plan a variety of interesting activities. They provide a personal touch and seek out different places to eat and stay and with an all inclusive holiday they offer value for the cost.

A really good insight into a remarkable country - full of history, brilliant buildings, and very friendly people.

We have traveled with Kudu six times and all our experiences with them have been good. Some have been very good.

I have read, commissioned, edited and published books about the Great Game, Central Asia and Islamic art and architecture for years and to be in the Registan at Samarkand as the sun was setting and the swifts swirling was just breath-taking.

This was the fourteenth time I have travelled with Kudu. I think that says everything anyone needs to know about the company!

A chance to see the magical cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva & Tashkent, did not disappoint. Watching dawn slowly fill the great Registan square in Samarkand, a breathtaking example of medieval Islamic architecture, with light is a moment to savour. The ceramic tiles begin to glow & myna birds wake up in neighbouring mulberry trees & start chattering. Another highlight was standing under an ink black night sky out in the steppe looking at a million bright stars sharp & clear.

A thoroughly good company which always produces excellent holidays.
