Hello. I'm Umida, your local expert for Uzbekistan

Active online: 6h ago

Living in a legendary city - Samarkand, I always feel like I'm living in a fairytale. My childhood was spent near Registan Square and now, every day after work, I pass by this square admiring the beautiful illuminated view. I don't know when or how I got into tourism, but my aim is to help travelers discover the beauty of my city, country.

Our agency specializes in organizing trips not only to Uzbekistan but to the whole of Central Asia: Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and we offer the most suitable combinations of visits to all these regions.

Why travellers love Umida

“We had a wonderful trip around Central Asia. Travelling with our own guides and drivers to Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan we visited places we would have found difficult to organise on our own. Rough Guides introduced us a local company called 'My Silk Way Trips'. After detailed planning they suggested an excellent programme that exactly fitted our interests. The trip was excellent with friendly and knowledgeable guides who spoke perfect English.”
