I travelled to Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and China with Travel Local on a 6 week trip, and I was astonished by the quality of service that TL was able to provide, often in places where there is scant tourist infrastructure. The logistics of a long trip in Central Asia are fairly complex, involving quotes and itineraries designed and operated by different local agents in each different country. Travel Local made sure this process was not only very efficient but genuinely enjoyable. I felt like I had made friends in Central Asia long before I departed! There was never any concern about putting my faith in small tour companies from far-flung places, as everything was arranged under the auspices of Travel Local, and with their financial protection. This gave me peace of mind not just about payment, but it also extended to the quality of the services I enjoyed on my trip - guides, drivers, accommodation, etc. In short, Travel Local has made it possible for me to organise my trips abroad in a way that offers total flexibility, security, and a fantastic opportunity to plan my trips with local people in the destinations I'm visiting. Recommended unreservedly.
