“Central Asia was a challenging ride and route for a variety of reasons. TDA did a spectacular job of arranging logistics and support in a challenging situation and made everything run smoothly.” – Barry Chase (Canada)

“It is too much to describe in this short form. I loved the experience, it was a tough tour for me because of the combination of long distances combined with either the heat, the gravel or the altitudes. But it was also of great beauty and I have seen a lot of Central Asia, a region that I didn’t know much about.” – Inge Ruijs (Netherlands)

“Overall, I had an incredible experience on the tour. The support staff was focussed on delivering a positive experience even when situations such as landslides, and campsite/hotel mix ups made it challenging.” – Vikas Patel (Canada)
