Field notes: 2,227 travelers

We booked a 7-day itinerary for Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan via Silk Travel and it was nothing short of amazing. Baha was our guide for Kazakhstan and Ray for Kyrgyzstan. Both are extremely hospitable and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable, accommodating our every request. Safe drivers, experienced guides who knew all the spots to capture picturesque moments. We really enjoyed our time with Ray and Baha!

Our 6-day Central Asia tour turned out far beyond expectation, covering the most stunning places in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan we had never seen before — including overnight stays in local villages and a yurt, a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Our guide Vladimir was so much more than a guide: he taught us trekking, culture, history and even language, and tailored the schedule to our preferences, health and the weather. We absolutely loved every single part of it. Thank you Silk Travel and Vladimir for an unforgettable trip.
