1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Riding the parallel road in Tajikistan with Afghanistan.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Apply for your Tajikstan e-visa at least a month in advance! Too many in the group had difficulties getting their e-visa. Double check the itinieary for dates, we had a mistake in ours which could have impacted the flight booking. Pack for all temperatures, we varied from 3c to 47c.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Not sure.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
I enjoyed it but was fraught with admin issues. There poor and out of date information in the itinerary, which meant we did not get the accomodation promised (e.g sharing rooms when we were told single rooms available). The local guides were great and very hard working to ensure we had the best time, which I am very appreciative. The itinerary needs a serious review and proper update. There were issues that could easily been avoided with attention to detail by the UK team.Jacqui Licht review 25 Sep 2019

High altitude is a given. It's better to rise gradually, so the direction Dushanbe to Bishkek might be easier.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
