Dear Hasmik,
I just returned home and wanted to thank you for organizing such a seamless and enriching experience to the 5 Stans of Central Asia. Every country had its own charm, and it was amazing how well the arrangements were handled in every country. Special thanks to our guides – professional, friendly, and full of knowledge, Mr Serdar in Turkmenistan was especially terrific. Highlights for me: the Seven Lakes, Darvaza Crater, and the cultural gems of Samarkand and Bukhara. It’s a shame that Darvaza crater is going to be closed next year, I wish everyone could see it. I am lucky and very happy to visit it and have a lovely overnight in yurt.
Warm regards,
Laura M.
Hi Florena,
Just wanted to send a big thank you for this fantastic tour through Central Asia. Everything was so well-organized — the hotels, transportation, and especially the local guides.
Special thanks to Murat in Kyrgyzstan and Zarina in Uzbekistan – they were both super knowledgeable and fun to be around. We had a little hiccup at the Kyrgyzstan-Kazakhstan border (a delay due to traffic), but your team handled it quickly, and our driver made sure we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed.
Tajikistan and the Seven Lakes were a personal favorite — just stunning. I’ll be recommending this tour to my fellow travelers for sure. Thanks again!
Warm wishes,
Hannah P.
I had doubts for a long time because of the impressive length of this package, but in the end, every second of this trip was fully justified. To plan such a long, intense tour while maintaining adequate pace and balance seemed like something fantastic, but Arara Tours coped with this task at a truly high level. Of course, there were some inconveniences during the trip, as we had domestic flights to move from one Stan to the other, but it was well handled. The hotels in the Caucasus were at better level than the hotels in the Stans, but not too big difference. The guides were good at English and had a deep knowledge of their countries. We enjoyed almost all the guides’ service, but were particularly happy with our guides in Kazakhstan, Georgia and Armenia. After the trip we still keep in touch in a hope that we will be back to your amazing regions in future. Thank you for an unforgettable trip!
