What people say about us

  • The tour with Turat and his son Abdulmazhid was really great! Turat is an experienced driver and the itinerary that we followed was also very good. His son helped Turat on our trip and did that very good, so it was like having two guides for the price of one.  Both are speaking good English, so it was easy to communicate with them. The whole journey was not like two guides and two guests, but as a group of four friends. We had a wonderful time and will never forget this time we had together.

  • Me and my girlfriend took a trip on the Pamir Highway with Tourstans last summer, and we really had a great experience. Not only because Turat and his son Abdulmazhid are very experienced drivers and guides, but they became soon real friend for us. We drove safely, that really helped us to understand local culture and lifestyle. They were always flexible and patient to fulfill our special requests, and we also had the opportunity to visit their house and family. If you’re planning a trip to Pamir Highway, you’re really in good hands!
