Private Tours in Turkmenistan — FAQ

How is a private tour different from a group tour?
A private tour is just for you and your travel companions — your own guide, driver and vehicle, on your own dates and pace. A group tour joins you with other travelers on a fixed schedule at a lower per-person price.
Can I fully customize the itinerary?
Yes. Tell us your interests, available days and must-see places, and we will build a route around them — combining sites like Darvaza, Ashgabat, Merv, Kunya-Urgench and the Yangykala Canyons in any order.
How much does a private Turkmenistan tour cost?
Private tours cost more per person than group departures since the vehicle, guide and accommodation are dedicated to your group. Send us your dates and interests for an exact quote.
Do I still need a visa for a private tour?
Yes. A private tour still requires a Letter of Invitation (LOI) for your Turkmenistan tourist visa, which we prepare and submit as part of your booking.
How many people can join a private tour?
Private tours work for solo travelers, couples, families and small groups of friends. Vehicle size is matched to your group — let us know your numbers when you enquire.
How far in advance should I book a private tour?
We recommend at least 6–8 weeks in advance, mainly to allow time for LOI and visa processing, which usually takes 15–20 business days plus visa issuance.
