They were hit by a car while cycling in Danghara district, 70 kilometres south-east of Dushanbe, the national capital.
The attack also injured three other tourists.
Police have killed two suspects and arrested four others in a special operation. A dented car, believed to have been used to execute the operation, was seized.
