The first question before booking is usually how much a turnkey Uzbekistan tour costs. The answer depends on length, season, hotels and format: group or VIP.
In 2026 NarminTour offers short 4-day programmes and an 8-day / 7-night classic with Khiva. Below are market benchmarks, what shapes the price and what is typically included.
Summary
The essentials in a minute
In detail
What drives the tour price
Key factors: number of days, hotel category (3★–5★), group vs private, season (spring/autumn peak is pricier), rail or road transfers and guide language.
VIP with boutique hotels costs more. Shared group dates with solid central hotels cost less.
Length and price benchmarks
4 days — Tashkent and Samarkand (Treasures of Uzbekistan) or three cities Tashkent — Samarkand — Bukhara (Sunny Uzbekistan, Land of Smiles). Benchmark: from ~$400–900 per person depending on route, hotel and season.
8 days / 7 nights — full classic with Khiva: Tashkent — Samarkand — Bukhara — Khiva (Classic Uzbekistan). Benchmark: ~$700–1,600+ per person by hotel level and format (group/VIP).
Figures are 2026 market guides, not fixed quotes. Exact prices are on tour pages and in personal quotes.
What is usually included
NarminTour packages typically include: hotels as listed, breakfasts (sometimes half board), transfers, guide services, entrance fees on the route and on-tour support.
Usually not included: international flights, meals outside the programme, souvenirs, tips, travel insurance and visas if required.
Season and how to save
Peak months are April–May and September–October. Summer is hotter; winter is quieter and often better value on hotels.
Save smartly: choose a group date instead of VIP, 4★ instead of 5★ in Bukhara, book early and stay flexible on dates.
Extra costs to expect
Budget for lunches (tea houses are affordable), evening taxis, workshops and bazaar shopping. Major site tickets are usually already in the tour.
Cash in som helps at markets; cards work in larger hotels. Ask your manager for a realistic pocket-money range.
