We are a member of Travelife and work to its criteria. Tourism should leave the Silk Road better than it found it, so every journey is built around three commitments.
Fair wages for the guides, drivers and families who host you
Your money stays in the towns and villages you visit — lunch in Mitan, winner of the responsible tourism award at ITB Berlin
Notes on food, craft and history, written by the guides who show you around.
I am very happy with my trip to Uzbekistan and the services provided by Shahlo and the Silk Road Destinations agency. Everything was arranged exactly as agreed, and the guides made the difference.

We have been building trips across Central Asia since 2001, from the city they run through. Tell us what you want to see: a local expert drafts the route, reshapes it with you, and stays on call while you travel. Planning costs nothing.
Adrian and Teri Moore from California, the sunshine state of America, had a trip in Uzbekistan — also a sunny country of Central Asia. They explored the Silk Road cities and left telling us the hospitality was the part they had not expected.

Melissa and Ralph Moses Coury from America left a review about their unforgettable trip along the ancient Silk Road. In just one week they managed to visit all the great cities — and still had time to sit down for lunch.
