7-10 Day Uzbekistan Tours

Uzbekistan tours are usually partly guided, with local expert guides leading included sightseeing in the key cities and sites. There typically isn’t a single tour leader for the entire trip, but travel between cities is arranged in advance, which keeps the journey straightforward and well organised.

Intercity travel is set in advance and often includes high speed trains on the main routes, which are a comfortable and efficient way to cover distance. Other journeys may be by arranged vehicle, helping travel days run smoothly between major sights and accommodation.

Many trips link Tashkent, Bukhara, and Samarkand, and some also include Khiva. This combination gives you a blend of modern city life, Silk Road heritage, and standout architecture in a manageable timeframe.

Yes, itineraries usually combine guided sightseeing with free time, so you have flexibility alongside the structured highlights. You can use this time to shop in bazaars, visit small museums, or relax in cafés, while the main visits and travel are already arranged.

Meals vary by trip, although some tours include breakfast and dinner each day. Lunch is often left free, which suits trying local restaurants near bazaars and main squares, or choosing something quick between visits.

Group sizes can be small, which can feel more comfortable on walking tours in older areas and less crowded at popular sites. Exact numbers vary and are shown on each trip page.

Many tours are rated easy, with most activity based around city walks and guided visits rather than long hikes. Comfortable footwear is recommended, as historic streets, steps, and large complexes can add up to a fair amount of walking over a day.

Entrance fees are often included for the main visits listed in the trip plan, which helps keep budgeting simple once you arrive. Optional activities and personal extras are usually paid locally, so it’s sensible to allow some extra spending money.

Airport transfers are not always included, so it’s important to check the trip details before booking flights. Many travellers take a taxi on arrival, while others prefer to arrange a transfer in advance for added convenience.

Visa and entry requirements depend on your passport and can change at short notice, so you should check official government advice before travelling. Tours do not usually include visas, and it remains your responsibility to ensure your passport validity and entry documentation are in order.
