Visit Kharezm & Khiva is a private travel service dedicated to creating memorable journeys across Uzbekistan and Central Asia.
What began with private transfers and local travel experiences in the historic region of Khorezm has grown into a broader travel service offering private tours, multi-day journeys, cultural experiences, and customized itineraries throughout Uzbekistan.
Our approach is simple: we believe travel should be personal. Rather than forcing every traveler into the same fixed itinerary, we listen to what our guests actually want to see, how they want to travel, and how much time they have. From a one-day experience around Khiva to a multi-city journey across Uzbekistan, we work to make each trip comfortable, flexible, and meaningful.
Destinations Network
From Khiva to the Whole Region
Khiva and the ancient land of Khorezm remain at the heart of our experience, but our journeys are not limited to one city or one region. We help travelers discover destinations across Uzbekistan and beyond:
🌐 We also help organize journeys beyond Uzbekistan when requested, including mountain expeditions to the Seven Lakes of Tajikistan.
More Than a Tour
We provide more than transportation from one destination to another. Our experiences combine private transportation, local knowledge, cultural discovery, historical sites, and flexible planning.

Our Philosophy
"We believe that the best journeys are not simply about checking landmarks off a list. They are about the road between them. The conversations with a local guide. The unexpected landscape outside the window. The ancient fortress standing alone in the desert. The small details of a city that never appear in a guidebook."
Partner & B2B Tourism Operator
We work with international travel agencies and tourism partners as an outsourced local travel service, providing transportation, guides, private tours, and logistics across Uzbekistan.

“We had an excellent week traveling through Uzbekistan with Visit Kharezm & Khiva. The organization was incredibly smooth, especially the transfers between cities. Our guide in Khiva was knowledgeable without overwhelming us with information, and the private nature of the trip gave us plenty of freedom. Samarkand was the highlight for our family, but the desert landscapes between the cities were an unexpected favorite.”
Highlight: Excellent organization, knowledgeable guides, and flexible private travel.

Germany• 3 travelers• 1 day
Experience: Bukhara → Khiva via Ayaz Kala, Toprak Kala & Kyzyl Kala
“We originally planned to simply travel from Bukhara to Khiva, but adding the three ancient fortresses completely changed the experience. Ayaz Kala was spectacular. The journey is long, but the desert scenery makes it worthwhile. Everything was comfortable and well organized. We would have appreciated a little more time at one of the fortresses, but overall it was a memorable day.”
Highlight: Turning a long transfer into an unforgettable Silk Road experience.

Experience: Khiva → Muynak, Ship Cemetery & Savitsky Museum
“Muynak was one of the most unusual places we visited in Uzbekistan. The Ship Cemetery was fascinating and quite emotional, while the Savitsky Museum was a completely different experience. Our guide gave us a very interesting explanation of the history of the region. It was a very long day on the road, but we knew that before booking. A worthwhile experience for anyone interested in history and unusual destinations.”

The Thompson Group
United States• 6 travelers• 3 days
Experience: Khiva, Ancient Fortresses & Custom Desert Journey
“We traveled as a group of six and wanted something different from a standard city tour. Visit Kharezm & Khiva arranged a private journey through the ancient fortresses around Khorezm and helped us combine several places into one route. The desert scenery was incredible and our guide was very helpful. Some of the archaeological sites require quite a bit of walking, so comfortable shoes are definitely necessary!”
Highlight: Excellent custom itinerary for a larger private group.

Switzerland• 2 travelers• 1 day
Experience: Khiva → Muynak & Aral Sea Region
“The Aral Sea journey was unforgettable. Muynak and the old ships give you a completely different perspective on Uzbekistan. The drive is very long, which is the only reason we are giving four stars rather than five. However, the driver was excellent and the vehicle was comfortable. The experience itself was absolutely worth doing.”
Highlight: A powerful and unusual journey far beyond the traditional tourist route.

“This was probably the most adventurous day of our Uzbekistan trip. We visited five different fortresses and then had time to relax beside Akhchakol Lake.
