8.Private Transfer & Photo‑Stops: Ayaz‑Kala & Toprak‑Kala”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6 reviews · 6 hours

Travel by private car from Khiva or Urgench to the ancient Khorezm fortresses of Ayaz Kala, Toprak Kala, and Kyzyl Kala. The six-hour trip includes a driver, drinking water, hotel, airport, or train-station pickup, and time to explore. Your Uzbek-speaking driver is not a guide, so read up before you go and use Google Translate if needed.

“ATTENTION! CE N'EST PAS UNE EXCURSION MAIS UN SERVICE DE TAXI! Prise en charge ponctuelle à l'hôtel. C'est la seule chose de positive. On nous demande la précision de la langue pendant la réservation, j'indique l'anglais, et le chauffeur ne parle pas un mot d'anglais. Pas de guide, pas d'explication donc encore une fois CE N'EST PAS UNE EXCURSION. J'ai décidé d'écourter la sortie en demandant au chauffeur de me déposer à l'hôtel. Perte d'argent surtout quand on connaît le prix des transports ici. Le prix n'est justifié pour la prestation fournie. Je ne recommande bien évidemment pas de passer par cet "agence". Dernière journée sur Khiva gâchée pour moi.”
