Wondering what it's like to travel with us? Here's what Salih said after joining this trip in March 2022:

My trip with Halal Travel Guide was amazing
"My trip with Halal Travel Guide was full of adventure and discovery, without the hassle of having to plan.

I went to Uzbekistan and was warmly treated by everyone, we had aid of a local guide Humoyun who knew the language and people to ultimately keep us safe and informed wherever we went.
I was really impressed with the amount of care we received throughout the trip.
The tour itself was rich in Islamic history and for each city we visited we had a specialist guide accompany our main guide and group to share their knowledge.

There were no concerns in regards to transport while on the trip, picking a great hotel or worrying about the best place to eat as it was all arranged.. we simply showed up and enjoyed a great trip all round

Soumaya has done a great job in bringing value to anyone travelling with HTG especially if you’re going to a country you’ve never been to.

Personally I don’t think I would’ve ever been able to match the quality of service HTG provided me if I were to plan and do Everything myself."
