CAJ.UZ has been a licensed tour operator in Tashkent since 1996 (licence T-0292-14). We book the hotels, trains, transfers and local English-speaking guides ourselves, with no agency in between.
You book your own flight. The tour starts when we meet you at Tashkent airport.
Most international tour companies sell Uzbekistan as a package with flights and a tour leader from home. Our prices are in USD and cover only what happens in Uzbekistan: hotels with breakfast, dinners listed in the itinerary, trains between cities, transfers, guided city tours in English and entrance tickets.
The tours below are sorted by length. Each tour page has the day-by-day itinerary, the hotels and the dates. You book and pay by card on the same page.
Prices are per person, sharing a double or twin room. International flights are not included in any price.
Three cities in a short week. You travel between them on the Afrosiyob high-speed train. Departures in November and December 2026, and the New Year departure starts on 29 December. Single room 800 USD.
You pick the dates. With 3-star hotels from 678 USD, with 4-star hotels from 764 USD. Tickets for all three train journeys are included. It is a private trip, so the guide language is set when you book.
All four cities, with the domestic flight from Urgench to Tashkent included. There are departures every month from November 2026 to April 2027. If two travellers have not booked 30 days before departure, we run the same itinerary as a private tour for 1,600 USD or refund you in full.
For families and groups of friends. On the way you stop at the Rabati Malik caravanserai, a ceramics workshop in Gijduvan and the minaret in Vabkent. 1,353 USD per person for 6 travellers, 1,906 USD for 2.
Four cities during the Navruz spring holiday, then the Amirsoy mountain resort and Charvak reservoir near Tashkent at the end of the tour. Single room 1,450 USD.
Our longest route. One night in a yurt camp in the Kyzylkum desert, where a camel ride is possible. A folk show in Khiva and cooking classes in Bukhara and Samarkand. The Tashkent–Urgench flight is included.

Dates and itinerary are fixed. You stay in the same hotels and take the same trains as the other travellers. The 8-day tour has no more than 8 people. If you travel alone or as a couple, this is usually the cheapest option.
You choose the dates, and the guide and vehicle are for your group only. The more people, the lower the price per person: on the 8-day tour it is 1,906 USD each for 2 travellers and 1,353 USD each for 6.
On most tours on this page a local guide meets you in each city, and you take the train on your own. A guide for the whole route costs extra: 350 USD on the 7-day tour, 600 USD on the 12-day tour.
Prices are for a shared double room. The single supplement is on each tour page; on the 5-day small group tour it is 100 USD.
Your flight lands here. Sights include Amir Timur Square, the Hast Imam complex in the old town and Chorsu Bazaar. More about Tashkent
The three madrasas of the Registan, the Shah-i-Zinda necropolis, the Gur-e-Amir mausoleum and the Bibi-Khanym mosque are the most visited places. Our tours spend one or two nights in Samarkand. More about Samarkand
The old town is small, and you walk from Lyabi-Hauz to the Kalyan minaret. The minaret was built in 1127. We suggest at least two nights so you can walk around the old town in the evening. More about Bukhara
People still live inside the walls of Itchan Kala. Short tours skip Khiva because the road is long. On the 8-day tours you fly back from Urgench to Tashkent. More about Khiva
After Nurata, one night in a yurt camp in the desert. Showers and toilets may be shared. The next day you go to Aydarkul Lake.
Local guides who speak English lead the city tours. All cities of the country are on the cities of Uzbekistan page.
Hotels with breakfast, dinners listed in the itinerary, Afrosiyob train tickets, airport and station transfers, guided city tours, entrance to the museums in the itinerary, 1.5 litres of water a day. The exact list is on each tour page.
International flights, travel insurance, lunches, tips and personal expenses. On the private 8-day tour the Urgench–Tashkent flight is also extra; on the guaranteed tour it is included.
There are two accommodation options: Standard and Comfort. Hotels by city and room types are on the accommodation on Uzbekistan tours page.
You book and pay for the tour on the website by card. We then email written confirmation of the hotels and services. Cancellation and refunds are explained on the cancellation and refund page.
The busiest season. It is mild, and the trees in Samarkand are green. Hotels and trains fill early, so book two to three months ahead.
As good as spring. Melons and grapes in the bazaars, warm days, cool evenings.
Bukhara and Khiva can pass 40 °C in the afternoon. In these months sightseeing works best early in the morning and late in the afternoon.
Cold but quiet, and hotels cost less. We have guaranteed departures in November and December. Navruz is celebrated in mid-March. Weather by month is on the climate of Uzbekistan page.
Citizens of the UK and most EU countries can stay up to 30 days without a visa. US citizens can do the same since 1 January 2026. Check your passport on the Uzbekistan visa page; for the US, see visa for US citizens.
Foreign visitors must be registered within three working days of arrival. When you stay in a hotel, the hotel does this for you.
Direct flights to Tashkent leave from Istanbul, Dubai, Frankfurt and Paris, among other cities. From the UK and the US most travellers connect in Istanbul or Dubai.
The Afrosiyob high-speed train links Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. On our tours we buy the tickets. For independent travel, timetables are on the trains in Uzbekistan page.
Without flights, prices per person start at 678 USD for the 7-day Silk Road tour, 700 USD for the 5-day small group tour and 1,200 USD for the 8-day guaranteed tour. Add your flight to that.
Not if you have a UK or US passport, or one from most EU countries, and stay up to 30 days. Every tour on this page is shorter than that.
Yes. On the guaranteed tour, the 5-day small group tour, the private 8-day tour and the 12-day tour, local English-speaking guides lead the city tours. On the 7-day Silk Road tour the guide language is set when you book.
5 to 7 days are enough for Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. If you also want Khiva, plan at least 8 days, because Khiva is far from the other cities.
Yes, on the guaranteed group tours. A departure is confirmed once at least two places are paid. The single supplement is on each tour page.
The currency is the sum. You pay for the tour itself on the website in USD by card. Larger hotels and many shops in city centres take cards; for bazaars and small shops, carry cash in sum.
On private tours you can add nights, change hotels or add a city, and we price it for your dates. Guaranteed group tours have a fixed itinerary, but you can add nights in Tashkent before or after.
Check dates, hotels and the day-by-day itinerary on the tour page. After you book and pay, we send the confirmation by email.
Booking rules are in the booking conditions. For general information see the Uzbekistan travel guide, and for money, the Uzbek sum page.
