    3rd trip with HTG - deffo recommend!


    This was my 3rd(!) trip with Halal Travel Guide, after my first two being Bosnia and Uzbekistan...As someone who travels fairly regularly (mainly on my own itineraries and planning), it is a pleasure to travel with a company that provides excellent itineraries with varied opportunities in the trips, and really look after you well.

        My First adventure with HTG

        I recently went to Bosnia with HTG on a woman's only retreat and as it was my first solo trip I was a bit anxious about what the whole experience would hold but I had nothing to worry about as I was made to feel absolutely welcomed and part of the group. Was able to make amazing memories, shared lots of laughs, met wonderful people and truly had a great adventure on this holiday.

        Adventure in Uzbekistan 2022

        At the first instance of being introduced to the itinerary I knew this was a trip seldom found anywhere else. I had been researching about Uzbekistan since just before the pandemic and there didn't seem to be any travel provider that matched my aspirations as well as carrying an Islamic/Muslim-friendly theme. That was until I came across HTG which contained everything and more. Soumaya was very accomodating and supportive during the run up to the trip especially as I was going to be travelling solo. All of the technical, logistical and organisational aspects of the trip were managed brilliantly by sister Soumaya and brother Humoyun allowing me to enjoy the trip seamlessly.

          Best Experience of My Life

          I don’t know where to begin but I’ll start with this is an experience you don’t want to miss out on! There are an overwhelming amount of positive things I need to say, and no complaints, so yes book that trip!

          Everyday was full of adventure and had been thoroughly planned to ensure that the most was made of the day. Prayer times are all taken care of and regular stops were made to ensure that no Salah is missed. The guide was absolutely fantastic, so funny and very good at making the group gel together!
