Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 127 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, often describing their holidays as the best they've ever had. Customers consistently praise the well-planned itineraries, which often include off-the-beaten-path locations and a rich mix of cultural and historical sites. The service is frequently highlighted as professional and efficient, with many appreciating the seamless organization from initial inquiry to the completion of their trip. Reviewers also commend the quality of the accommodations, often noting unique and carefully selected hotels, and the exceptional knowledge and friendliness of the local guides and drivers. However, some customers mentioned issues with communication regarding dietary restrictions, finding that information was not effectively relayed to local guides. A few other people also felt that a last-minute change to a starting hotel impacted their personal travel plans, and one reviewer noted a yurt camp near Lake Issyk Kul was dirty and unhygienic.

Uzbekistan & Turkmenistan

Our recent Wild Frontiers tour of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan was spectacular and an unforgettable adventure.

From the moment we booked, the entire experience was seamless and highly professional. The pre-tour support was excellent, providing meticulous detail and great peace of mind (especially with the prompt arrival of the Turkmenistan Letters of Invitation and flight bookings).

The itinerary itself was a masterclass in comprehensive travel, offering a dense and fascinating tapestry of history and culture. Every day was a new discovery, from the breathtaking turquoise domes of Samarkand and the ancient walls of Khiva to the surreal landscapes of Turkmenistan, including the iconic Darvaza gas crater.

What truly sets Wild Frontiers apart is their exceptional guides and their ability to connect you with the heart and soul of a place. They were passionate storytellers who brought the history of the Silk Road to life, making the trip about experiencing daily life, not just seeing monuments.

We finished the tour filled to the brim with love for the experiences and the incredible warmth of the people. Thank you, Wild Frontiers, for a lifetime of wonderful memories!

Well organised

Well organised. One really needs a well organised tour to explore a place like Algeria, which WildFrontiers provide. The place was a hidden gem!

Cities of the ancient Silk Road

I wanted to learn more about the ancient Silk Road. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject. She also presented a vivid picture of life in modern day Uzbekistan. She was flexible and took us to see a couple of things we asked about but weren't on the itinerary.

Wild Frontiers and Ecuador.

This is my second trip with wild frontiers. Everything exceeded expectations. The itinerary was fantastic. The guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. The accommodation was great and very comfortable. I will always recommend Wild Frontiers. I look forward to going again soon in the not so distant future.

The tour in Georgia was wonderful

The tour in Georgia was wonderful. The tour guide, Gabi, was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable about the culture and history of the country as well as current events. She was also affable and managed the group well. The hotels were first rate. We saw so many amazing places and enjoyed meals in homes during the tours. I highly recommend the tour and Wild Frontiers.

Go and see for yourself…you will love it!

The destinations were superb but what really made our tour exceptional were Tedi and Tony (our tour guide and driver). Tony is a superb driver and the roads are very challenging. Tedi is 23 and I think some of the group was wondering if he could lead our group and handle everything. He explained to us that his father is a tour leader as is his older brother. He is knowledgeable and sensitive and was completely in charge all the time. And most important…he listens.
I have been on seventeen Wild Frontier trips and this is one of my favorites.
Go and see for yourself!

Travelling to the Caucasus

WF produced a very well thought out itinerary. Very efficiently organised, the tour was expertly led by our experienced Italian guide in conjunction with three excellent local guides, one for each country. Hotels were very comfortable, food outstanding, travel very straightforward, and best of all, a lovely group of fellow travellers. It was a privilege to spend time in such an interesting part of the world.

Georgia Explorer Sept 2025

We've used WF for remoter countries where independent travel is harder, due to language or logistics. The Georgia Explorer has a variety of cultural activities and some hillwalking, and importantly everything happened as expected. Guide Zura was excellent; group of 10; good accommodation and food. We had extra nights before and after trip arranged by WF. Highlights included the cookery course; the scenery and hikes in Svaneti; and by chance the Batumi food and music festival (also the bird migration) in late September. WF may not be the cheapest travel company but you get a reliable quality trip.

Uzbekistan trip

When we told friends we were going to Uzbekistan they looked very surprised. But what a trip it was stuffed with culture, travel, great food and friendly people. Our Uzbek guide Alex ensured everything ran like clockwork and our faces never stopped smiling. I would recommend this trip to anybody wishing to get a taste of Central Asia and the Silk Road.

Balkans Insider tour

Great selection of interesting places to visit. Our tour guide Tedi and our driver Tony were superb. Wild Frontiers have a policy of keeping group numbers small, around 12, which lets you get to know your fellow-travellers well.

I loved every aspect of my trip to…

I loved every aspect of my trip to Mongolia for the Golden Eagle Festival! Wild Frontier Adventures considered every detail of this trip. If the trip had ended before we even got to the Eagle Festival I would have been filled with glorious experiences, so the Festival was a spectacular conclusion to my adventure!

Family Azerbaijan and Georgia trip

Family Azerbaijan and Georgia trip - fantastic support by Kenny - great itinerary covering all our requests - scenery, hiking, food, wine and culture.
Guides were super - support from arrival to departure but with the right amount of independent time either relax or explore on our own.
Highly recommend Wild Frontiers and the countries.

Kyrgyzstan is fabulous, Uzbekistan is tourist trap.

I did two back to back trips with Wild Frontiers. The first to Kyrgyzstan and then to Uzbekistan.
Wild Frontiers were great pre trip other than changing the starting hotel in Kyrgyzstan at last minute which meant a change to my personal travel plan!
I loved Kyrgyzstan, and the guide Alex and drivers Alex and Vlad (there were 2 buses for the group of 12) were fab - we had a few mechanical issues en route which they resolved). The only downside was the appalling final yurt camp near lake Issyk Kul (dirty & unhygenic).
Uzbekistan wasn’t as good. Despite pre booking, nobody met us on arrival. Uzbekistan was so wealthy compared with Kyrgyzstan! The accommodation was great but it felt like a tourist route with lots of shopping opportunities.

Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan trip

Great trip to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Pre trip information was good and they sorted my flights too.
The trip itinerary was well planned and great local guides who were so knowledgeable not to mention helpful, friendly and entertaining. I’d travel with them again.

A great trip across the Caucasus

This was my first group tour. I decided to do it because the itinerary was so good and because I liked what I read about Wild Frontiers. I wasn’t disappointed – on either aspect. It was a great trip, with a good itinerary and a first class tour leader, Ali. The accommodation amply lived up to descriptions, and indeed surpassed them in some respects. The food was remarkably good. It was all extremely enjoyable. One of the best aspects was that we had a terrific group. Everyone was interesting, intelligent, witty and very well travelled. I strongly recommend both this trip and Wild Frontiers. If you’re nervous about booking a group tour, I hope my experience will give you confidence.

Outstanding - great tour, great prices.

We enjoyed an unforgettable tour of Algeria with Wild Frontiers.

The service was first rate. They and their brilliant guide (M’Hamed) added so much to the trip, helping us with an excellent and extensive itinerary, briefings, memorable places to stay and great food.

Overall this was outstanding value for money and we will definitely use them again.

I went on the Hindu Kush adventure. I had been to Pakistan before but the very knowledgeable local guide showed me many things I hadn't seen before. A good small group of like minded people made for a memorable trip. Thank you Wildfrontiers.
