Uzbekistan Holidays

Book your holiday to Uzbekistan with Wendy Wu Tours

Travel Safe with our COVID Safe Protocols

Central Asia's cradle of culture for more than two millennia, Uzbekistan is the proud home to a mesmerising collection of architecture and ancient cities, all deeply infused with the fascinating history of the Silk Road.

Bukhara, Samarkand and Khiva, all Silk Road cities, hold some of the world's most exquisite Islamic architecture, with fabulous mosques, medressas and mausoleums, as well as half-hidden desert citadels and hectic bazaars.

Uzbekistan has a rugged and rocky landscape with deserts, mountains and valleys interspersed with pockets of fertile, green land. The combination of spectacular countryside and classic Islamic architecture make this nation a visual delight. Uzbekistan is also an extremely friendly country, where you will feel genuinely welcome by the people you meet.

Meet Kamol

I’m convinced that sharing knowledge about this part of the world with our guests is my mission, it's certainly my passion. When a journey comes to an end and our guests look happy and their eyes are shining, I feel that all efforts were worth it. So, my friends welcome to Central Asia!

Brilliant! Another winner, we have now completed our 5th tour with Wendy Wu and hope to do more in the future
Ms Pauline
Meet Marat

I have been a National Escort for almost 17 years, and it was the best decision I made. I enjoy everything there is to guiding, from the history to the experiences, especially meeting new people often.

Good mix of hotels and guest houses, good quality food and a nice size group (14 in all). The National Escorts were especially helpful.
