Azat was a great guide and arranged an itinerary for my 4 day tour that gave a really good insight to the history of Turkmenistan, as well as seeing parts of modern life. I'm not used to travelling to schedules, and Azat took time to understood my travel style, so that he could be flexible with the plans to make sure they suited my preferences of how to best experience the country. It resulted in a really interesting, lively trip, loved every minute of it and wish I'd booked for longer! All the drivers booked were also brilliant - it's a fun drive to the gas crater!

I met Lucy as a traveler, but said goodbye to her as a true friend. Throughout the journey, we shared an easy connection, mutual respect, and genuinely enjoyed every moment of discovering new places together. It was a real pleasure to guide someone so open-minded and sincere

Azat works for Mukamly travel agency. My guide’s name is Eziz. After visiting 50 countries and having received the services of several local guides and tour operators around the world, I can say that both my guide and this agency have offered me excellent service during the four days I have spent in Turkmenistan. They made me feel very welcome in the country. They were very helpful throughout the trip. They attended to and fulfilled all my requests. Therefore, I recommend this agency's services for future trips to Turkmenistan. I also recommend that future tourists purchase a local SIM card to avoid internet problems, as Wi-Fi connectivity is not guaranteed.

Unforgettable Turkmenistan during 6 Days of travel: If you are looking for a destination that defies expectations, Turkmenistan is it—and having Azat as our guide made the experience truly exceptional. This 6-day journey was a whirlwind of marble cities, vast deserts, and ancient history, all made seamless by world-class hospitality. Guide style: trip to a country as unique as Turkmenistan requires a guide who is more than just a narrator; you need a bridge to the culture. Azat was exactly that. A Natural People-Person: Azat’s warm and witty personality immediately put us at ease. He has a gift for storytelling that turns historical facts into engaging conversations. Above and Beyond: He is incredibly helpful and proactive. From navigating local customs to finding the best vantage points for photos, he anticipated our needs before we even spoke them. Ultimate Flexibility: What we appreciated most was how accommodating he was. He never rushed us. If we found a particular spot captivating, he adjusted the schedule on the fly to let us soak it in. His goal wasn't just to follow a checklist, but to ensure we were genuinely happy. Trip itself: from the surreal, glowing glow of the Darvaza Gas Crater at midnight to the silent, majestic ruins of the Silk Road, the itinerary was perfectly balanced. Thanks to Azat's deep roots in the region, we felt less like tourists and more like honored guests. We left with more than just photos; we left with a profound respect for the Turkmen spirit and memories of a guide who treated us like family.

I guided Alessandro and Davide on a 6-day tour in Turkmenistan. They showed genuine interest in the country and its culture and were true easy travelers—flexible, relaxed, and open to new experiences. Thanks to Induguide, we also became friends—a great example of how travel creates real connections.
