I can't wait to come back and enjoy another tour! - Tajikistan is rich in history and extremely beautiful. Every place we stopped at I was welcomed with open arms. Dave was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He was just as excited about showing me the sights, trying new foods as I was. Only downside is, I was alone for business and my wife couldn't enjoy it with me.

Super Awesome tour of Tajikistan - Fantastic awesome day tour of Dushanbe and Hissar! My guide Dilik was on time, friendly, professional and a walking history book! He showed me the amazing Hissar fortress as well as the absolutely stunning sites of Dushanbe. I did not feel rushed and I learned a lot from this tour! I cannot stress enough how great this tour is! It is worth the price I Paid for especially for a private tour. This is a 5 star experience, much better than tours in other countries like in Europe lol
