Joan – Uzbekistan Textile Tour 2024

Trip of a lifetime

I was very lucky to travel on the first tour of Uzbekistan run by Nicole Farrell of Red Door Tours. It was a magical experience and the trip of a lifetime. We travelled all around the country. visiting exotic markets, beautiful mosques and monuments and visited local artisans who kindly shared their expertise with us.

The people were always generous, kind and always helpful. We travelled as a group of 14 on private buses, trains and planes. Nicoles expert guidance and flair for logistics meant this all went smoothly and her warmth and good humour meant it was always fun.

I would thoroughly recommend Red Door Tours for anyone interested in seeing exotic locations with a small group of like-minded people at a very reasonable cost.

Truly spoilt

I’ve just returned from the Uzbekistan tour with Nicole. All the sights were amazing and everything was organised for you from the moment you arrived in the country until your departure. We were truly spoiled. I’ll be joining Nicole on another tour in the near future.

Frequently asked questions

Why did I choose to plan a tour to Uzbekistan?

Uzbekistan offers a journey through history and culture like no other. The food is delicious, it’s rich in traditional crafts and the architecture is amazing. 

Is it safe?

Smart traveller is the Australian governement site which advises on International travel. Please visit for up-to-date advise.

I have always felt safe and guests in 2024 commented on how they also felt safe. One guest left earrings in a hotel room and they were returned to her.

 

Do I need a visa?

Australians can enter Uzbekistan for 30 days without a visa.

Be sure to check with your government website for up to date information.

Is the tour suitable for vegetarians?

The Uzbek diet has lots of meat and limited vegetable and salad options. I feel you would be bored with the choices so I don’t recommend the tour for vegetarians. 

What will the weather be like?

The weather will be mild, maybe even a little cold. According to my agent in Uzbekistan, not hot and not cold!

 

Still have a question? Email Nicole and she’ll be happy to arrange a call or zoom.
