There is no single memorable part of the trip that stands out, but overall the diversity of the experience across the length and breadth of the country will be memorable for a long time to come. The trip interacted with local life in many locations and gave a good insight into the Uzbek lifestyle and it's people, culture, food, history etc.read more

10 out of 10. Fantastic guides - friendly, entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable.read more

It was very good - but almost like 2 separate trips. The first part has long drives in the minibus into magnificent countryside. You are immersed in local life more, it is much less touristy and you have some great hikes. The second half in Uzbekistan is for the most part, a more traditional city sites tour with the typical tourist trappings. read more

In a tour encompassing five countries and nearly five weeks, it's hard to choose just one element that was the most memorable… has to be described in one word - ADVENTUROUS!read more

Exceeded expectations. The tour is very well organised with fantastic very attentive guides. A feast for the eyes and a continuous discovery of history, nature and culture. Would definitely recommend.read more

Probably Khiva, wandering it ourselves having had a tour the day before and finding a trapeze show before a lovely dinner on a terrace with a view of the town.... being invited up to dance after dinner in a restaurant by super friendly diners celebrating in samarkand and then bumping into one of them the next day at their stall in the bazaar read more

Some great landscapes, especially Kyrgyzstan, some wonderful Islamic architecture, fascinating markets, very friendly people. Great to experience such a different environment with like-minded travellers. The night in the yurt and stepping outside in the morning to see the wonderful landscape.read more
