Travel from Tashkent to ancient Khujand in Tajikistan for a guided city tour, Silk Road markets, fortresses, and local meals.

“1 complaint only. There were only 2 hotels where this trip's pickups were available. As Hotel Uzbekistan was closest we took a taxi there. Once on our way, we drove right past the hotel we were staying at. We took a taxi for nothing. The actual trip made up for this. At the border, there was a golf/tuktuk vehicle to take us plus others to Tajik border....5 sums After customs, to our joy, there was another similar vehicle that took us to where our driver was....5 sums. The Tajik driver was unable to speak English but he was a good driver...good vehicle also. Hussein, the guide in Khujand was excellent,…”
