Regarding questions via e-mail…
Questions regarding visas, tours, car rental, train tickets , …
Will not be answered if you write to Steven. Please write to the tour operator via the forms provided on the visa and invitation letter pages.
Travel questions – don’t use e-mail!
If you are an independent traveler with a question about travel on the Silk Road, please don’t e-mail me. Thousands of people come to this website every day, confused just like you, their questions unanswered. Maybe Steven can help? Perhaps I can. But don’t contact me via e-mail – it is simply too much workload and I cannot answer all questions this way. That is why I made this website.
Your e-mail will remain unanswered.
Use the forum instead
Post your question on the forum instead. I answer questions there, other Silk Road travelers add their wisdom, and your question thus becomes a helpful source of information for travelers present and future.
If you cannot access the forum, you are also welcome to contact me via e-mail: [email protected] (in case you did not read the above: I do not answer travel questions via e-mail. In case you did, sorry for the repetition, but some people just don’t get it).
Thank you for your understanding!!
