Dear Rakhmatjon and everybody in Roxana Tour,

Thank You so much for all your efforts on our behalf.
Thank You for all your time at the Tadjikistan Embassy!
Thank You for The Sultans' Hats at the end of the tour.
Thank You for the quality of all the restaurants and quality of the food.

But Mostly, Thank You for employing Davlatsho as our guide.

We have had many guides in the course of our world travels, but never ever one any better than day.

He worked tirelessly for us night and day. His efforts for us were far beyond what would have been "good".

Enthusiastically I recommend him for further employment with even the most demanding of clients.

Dear Khusan,

I wanted to drop you a quick e-mail thanking you for the outstanding tour you provided. From the time we arrived at Tashkent until we left, we had no problems and everything was first class. Humoyun was truly an outstanding representative of your company and provided us with many wonderful memories. I know my students will talk about this trip for a long time and they enjoyed every aspect of the trip. I think with the success of the trip, we will probably look to come back again in the future. Once I have my summer, 2009 schedule worked out, I will contact you.

Thanks Again,

Rick

Dear Rakhmatjon:

Linda and I were just going through our many pictures from our recent trip to the 'Stans and there were a few that included you at the wonderful dinner you hosted in Bukhara.

We both wanted to thank you again for your hospitality and the incredible lengths to which you went to ensure our entire groups comfort, enjoyment and safety. Your enthusiasm and professionalism set a very high standard.

We travel quite extensively, we're now over 90 countries, and must say that you are by far the best local tour operator that we have ever met and have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends. We did give your brochure to our own travel agent.

We wish you all the best for continued success and have no doubts that Roxana Tour will grow and prosper under your leadership.

Hello Anton,

I just wanted to let you know both Elaine and I had a wonderful time in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. AS you know, we arrived on 9-10 not 9-9 in Turkmenistan and the tour guide was there!! Thankfully.

I thought the tours were great and the staff was very professional. I thought you did an excellent job managing our schedule. I would highly recommend your company to others and also I will definitely use your firm again the next time I visit Central Asia, my next trip i wan to visit Kyrgyzstan.
Also, thank you so very much for the traditional caps, that was a very thoughtful gift.

Kind Regards

Hi Anton,

I want to express my satisfaction with the tour you arranged for Kathleen Hurley and I. Both of us really enjoyed visiting these 2 countries -the guides and drivers were very good, very knowledgeable and friendly. They were able to provide us with a sense of the culture and local customs. In addition, the hotels were very nice. I intend to visit Central Asia again and I will certainly use your services. I will recommend Roxana Tours to any of my acquaintances who are interested in traveling to Uzbekistan.

Thanks,

    Dear Humoyun and colleagues at Roxana Tour,

Also on behalf of my fellow-traveller Ron Bosman I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent services Roxana provided before and during our journey into Uzbekistan. Your prompt responses during the inquiry phase, the excellent program offer you made to us, and last but not least the competitive rates and smooth financial handling made us feel confident about the trip. In fact, we were secretly expecting a royal treatment, and that is exactly what we got! Of course the many wonders of Uzbekistan - the Kalon ensemble, the Registan, the Bibi Khanoum and all the other beautiful mosques, medresses, minarets and mausoleums - are just there to be discovered and admired. By way of very good local guides Roxana added a context that brought the past to life, and scheduled the sight-seeing in such a way that body and mind also found the rest necessary to digest all this beauty. The small private hotels you had chosen - some of which in beautifully restored old villas - added much to the Central Asia experience and offered high quality services. A special thank you for accompanying us to many shows and dinners, which kept us from getting bored one single minute. And a recommendation for those who want to come to Uzbekistan and trust themselves to the reliable hands of Roxana: do see the classical attractions, but also consider to include the Fergana valley. We were very impressed, not only by the scenery, but also by the visits we made to the silk factory and a ceramic workshop. The latter were absolute high lights of our journey and provided great shopping opportunities!

     Dear Sirs,

I was recently on a 3 week tour of Central Asia with Eco-Expeditions, an American tour group. Although all 5 of the "stans" were great, my favorite was definitely Uzbekistan. And one of the major reasons for this was the use of Roxana Tours as the agent in that country. Uzbekistan is so culturally rich, but to appreciate it, one needs great guides who can speak the language of the tour group. Roxana Tours provided this in all of the cities that we visited. The guides were erudite, up on the history, and spoke loudly and clearly.

But most importantly, our tour leader in country, Jon, worked tirelessly to provide a great experience, not only for me, but for everyone in the group. He made everyone feel important and that no request or need was beyond their capability in providing. It was because of this excellence in PROVIDING, that I would highly recommend Roxana Tours to anyone considering a vacation to this fascinating area of the world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

     I appreciate Roxana Tour for safe, comfortable and beautiful trip. I visited Bukhara and Samarkand alone. Before I came there, I was really anxious because I could not speak Russian or Uzbek. But Roxana Tour prepared good guides and drivers for me and I did not worry or have any trouble, and I could have good time.

In Bukhara, my guide was expert. She showed me not only beautiful old city, Bukhara, but also the lives in Bukhara. I heard beautiful prayer, enjoyed Hammam, and on free time read next to Uzbek children around Lyab-i-Hauz.

In Samarkand, both of I and my guide are university students and we enjoyed talking about school lives in Japan and Uzbekistan. After the city tour, Roxana Tour arranged a traditional Uzbek concert and I joined wedding dance. It was fun and precious experience to dance in Registan, World Heritage Site.

Thank for Roxana Tour, I could enjoy my trip and get relaxed. I still remember breath-taking beautiful decorations of mosques and madrassahs, comfortable wind and warm smiles in Uzbekistan.

To : Roxana Tour, Uzbekistan
Warmest greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia!

Me and my group visited Uzbekistan and also other 4 more “stans” in Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Among all these countries, I can say that Uzbekistan is the best in term of tourism attractions, infrastructure, hotel accommodation, foods, local guides, coach, etc.

With the help of your professional, responsible and helpful team, Roxana Tour provided my clients with extra attention by spending more of their time choosing the best hotels, the best restaurants, the best local guides,, the best coach; which all these are the main important items for my clients which wants all the most of the luxury Uzbekistan can offer them. Thank you to Roxana Tour that chose only the best for me and my group.

All my clients came back to Indonesia with fond memories of Uzbekistan and Central Asia in general.

I have no hesitation on recommending Roxana Tour to my fellow travel partner or to anybody who is willing to visit this beautiful country and region.

Warmest regards,
Grace Hakim

Translation

Our company “ Meridian Travel Club” – Almaty- Kazakhstan has been already working for 2 years with the staff of Roxana Tour company which is situated in Uzbekistan on the most popular itinerary ( tour of “5 stans”). This itinerary includes visit to the most beautiful and historical cities of Uzbekistan.

Roxana Tour- young company with young staff, but this is the case when young DOES NOT mean not professional. The high professionalism and responsibility for following all the parts of the itinerary made us a decision for choosing Roxana Tour as our partner in Uzbekistan.

For 2 years of partnership Roxana Tour stuff showed that they can handle with every unexpected situations and can solve any unpredictable problems very quickly. To foresee everything in the tour- this is one of index of professionalism, to solve all the problems- this is the second part that shows level of skills of the staff.
Roxana Tour staff has both of this

Our company (“Meridian Travel Club” from Almaty- Kazakhstan) is looking forward for future mutual cooperation with Roxana Tour company.

Roxana Tour Staff thank you for your perfect work.
