Stantrips Omdömen 

Stantrips are a great company. We have travelled to over 120 countries and this company and especially Hudaikuli were an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Turkmenistan was a dream destination for us and a lot of our concerns about travel in this country were completely wrong…

Nadya our guide found us at the border and took control of everything and it went very smoothly and exactly as Hudaikuli had described.

We then proceeded to the Gates of Hell and a night at a Yurt Camp in the desert which for us was the perfect experience despite a long drive to get there.

The next day we drove to Ashgabat and our hotel there was amazing and we got to explore on our own the area around the hotel. The next day Nadya took us on the perfect city tour and wow Ashgabat has to be seen to be believed. The local lunch was also amazing in a beautiful restaurant. But the highlight for us was our time at the horse stud and a ride on the famous Turkmen horses.

We cannot recommend Stantrips highly enough for creating a tailor made tour at a great price for us and making our time in Turkmenistan so perfect. We cannot wait to visit again.

I contacted Maksat@Stantrips for Turkmenistan through my local tour guide in Samarkent.
He suggested a 4d itinerary for me to enter Farap Turkmenistan by Alat Bukhara & return by Khiva since I was already in Samarkent.
Maksat submitted my details and applied for my visitor visa and I received my letter of invitation after 6d while in Bukhara.
I had such an amazing time visiting ancient Merv & riding on the rare breed Akhalteke horses.
We arrived in Ashgabat city and the following day, my guide brought me to the big bank to withdraw my usd notes then to Maksat’s office to pay for my tour and on to Darvaza desert to see the phenomenon burning crater and a overnight stay in the company owned yurts.

Thank you very much Maksat, you are very kind, helping me with the Usd cash issues when the banks close 3d & over the weekend for the long Eid holidays. And always in contact with my guide throughout the trip.
As a female solo traveller from Singapore, I felt very safe in Turkmenistan with Stantrips.

We decided to travel to Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan at the end of 2023. Maksat responded quickly to our initial contact and sent us a first offer. We adapted this to our needs and Maksat checked it to see if it was possible.
We then flew to Turkmenistan in March 2024. Entering the country with the invitation letter went very smoothly. We then travelled for a week, always together with the great guide Gurban and with different drivers. We did the following:
- Sightseeing tour of Asgabath
- Night train to Turkmenbashi
- Yangykala Canyons
- Nohur with an overnight stay with a local family
- Merv
- Darvaza Crater, overnight stay in the yurt
- Kunya Urgench
We then travelled on to Uzbekistan and visited the cities of Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand and Tashkent. In Uzbekistan we travelled without a guide, but we also booked the transfers and hotels through Stantrips.
The whole trip was wonderful. We felt that we were in good hands at all times. Gurban adapted to us and our wishes and responded flexibly. Everything went smoothly, the driver and guide were always on time, everything worked perfectly.
We can fully recommend Stantrips without hesitation.

Highly recommended tour company. They worked with me at length on my desired itinerary and pricing, helped me obtain my visa last-minute, and negotiated a wonderful trip at a price acceptable for both parties. I had been in touch with 15 different tour companies and ultimately chose Stantrips because of their responsiveness, flexibility, fairness, and general trustworthiness. As a solo female traveler, safety and security are of the highest priority for me, especially when traveling to a country where I would be camping in the desert and knew my iphone would not work — both my guide and driver (via the company) made me feel incredibly safe and gave me an amazing tour, I could not have asked for more respectful and knowledgeable guides, and they ensured every aspect of the trip went smoothly and without incident. Furthermore, several months after I left, Hudaikuli and his team helped recover some items for me in Turkmenistan and got them back to me safely, and I am infinitely grateful for this kindness, as they had no obligation to help me but did anyway. I honestly cannot recommend this company enough, especially for first-time travelers to Turkmenistan.

Nuestra experiencia con Stantrips ha sido excelente. La comunicación para la tramitación de toda la documentación previa (carta de invitación, reservas, etc) fue excelente. En destino obtuvimos un gran servicio. Atendieron todas nuestras peticiones. El personal (guía, chófer) fue muy profesional. Buena relación calidad / precio. Nosotros visitamos Asjabad y Darvaza. El crácter es una experiencia inolvidable y única en el mundo. Si regresamos a Turkmenistán, lo haremos con ellos.

I had a most wonderful week-long trip to Turkmenistan with Stantrips! I have been to over 100 countries and this was one of my favourites! On the trip, I visited Ashgabat, Darvaza, Dashoguz, Kunya Urgench, Turkmenbashi, Yangykala Canyons, Nohur, Mary, and Ancient Merv. The itinerary was intricately planned and tailored to my schedule/asks, as well as perfectly executed. Nadine was an amazing guide: incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and organized. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had the perfect holiday. Hudaikuli and Maksat were very responsive and helpful when planning the trip. Overall, I would highly recommend Turkmenistan and Stantrips! A fantastic time!!!

I went on a tour with the guide Hudaykuli and he was very nice and knowledgeable about everything. He’s a local so it’s interesting to get to know the country from his perspective. He’s very accommodating and flexible to your schedule. 100% recommendation.

Wir haben im Februar eine Woche in Turkmenistan verbracht. Die von stantrips organisierte Reise war für uns ein wunderbares Erlebnis. Sämtliche Abschnitte unseres abwechslungsreichen Programmes haben einwandfrei funktioniert. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Auswahl der Unterkünfte und mit den Leistungen der Mitarbeiter, die allesamt ausgesprochen bemüht um uns waren. Auch unserem Sohn (10) hat Turkmenistan sehr gut gefallen. Schade, dass es nur fünf Sterne zu vergeben gibt, wir hätten auch noch mehr gegeben und können jedem nur empfehlen, dieses Land mit stantrips zu erkunden.
