View on Google Mapsdaytrip to 7 fortresses gives the spirit of ZOroastrism era where early civilization started. Except cold temperature outside, everything was well organized! huge appreciation for that
Exciting time to visit fortresses together with family despite cold temperature outside. Camel riding is another fun time.
We booked a private tour to see all of the Kalas. The tour was good. We ended up with another group travelling in a separate car but with the same guide. This wasn't really what we booked and meant we didnt have the amount of time we wanted at each site. We booked a private tour for a reason as we like to have time at each site and be able to decide where we stay longer or shorter times. The car was a standard saloon car with AC that didnt quite work. It also meant that at the final kala we couldn't drive up to the site and walking path. We did the last Kala on our own, the guide stayed at the camp site. It would have been good to have more indepth historical information about the sites spanning the different periods of history. If you drive this could be an easy self drive day trip.

Khiva Fortress is fabulous, containing much to see and be in awe of! Beautiful monuments, informative museums, history everywhere! The fortress is well kept, clean and tidy. Worth a visit!
As a solo female traveler I felt completely safe with Sarvar. I was sent some audio files about the forts before going, but Sarvar is still learning English so the conversation was limited and he didn't know a great deal about the sites we visited, but he was easy to be with. You do have to walk alone to the sites and the last one is a bit of a trek. Lunch was a pleasant enough roadside restaurant but I was a bit sad there was no fried fish by a lake like other reviews have mentioned. I'm glad I went and it waa really nice to get away from the city, but if you're by yourself it's a very long day and I think a half day tour might be more enjoyable.
The owner, Olimjon, was really courteous and helpful. Not only did he personally accompany us to see the fortresses, but he also bought us train tickets, which in Uzbekistan are not easy to buy. Very competent, speaks excellent English, precise and punctual. Highly recommended
We had had contact with this agency through friends who had already traveled with them. There are no better reviews than those of our loved ones. And they were right! We spent a very nice day visiting all these beautiful sites! Organization at the top, we were often alone to visit, we were able to make the most of it! The car was comfortable, the driver very nice. 5/5
Great day trip to see 7 fortresses with a good English driver who gave me some explanations each time.
Wonderful day with Oxus Travel (Nice guide Olimjon). Very well organized a day trip that I have experienced so far, everyything is well organised transport, foods, walks etc. I highly recommend this tour to people who are bbored with daily issues. Especiallly walking at night in peaciful place was the best! In addition I should mention that it worth its price!
I traveled with friends to ancient fortress of Khorazm under well organized tour by Olimjan. It was remarkable and the tour was guided professionally by Olimjon. Hopefully I will grab such chance of traveling with Olimjan(Oxus travel) again.
