Reviews

For me, the holiday of a lifetime.
A very comprehensive itinerary, going places other operators don’t (eg. Nukus) we saw sights that very few British have seen.
Good hotels, and the location of the hotels in Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand was excellent.
We had an excellent guide, whose knowledge was extensive.
Food was plentiful, possibly too plentiful and I’m on a strict diet now!
On a serious note I don’t think this should be a Level 1 Physical rating, there are lots of steps at times, walking on uneven surfaces and not insignificant distances. One person on our trip had mobility issues and missed out on quite a bit. But it didn’t inhibit me and I am so glad I have taken this holiday.

Service rating :

I travelled on the Road to Samarkand. It was a really great tour that past expectations. While border crossings were slow, they were hassle free. Kyrgyzstan was a fascinating country. Beautiful alpine scenery and a true hidden gem.
Uzbekistan was very different, much hotter and lots of near desert. The art Savitsky art museum at Nukus was well worth the journey to Nukus. Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand were all wonderful and done in the correct order. It was a privilege to see these Silk Road towns.
Both the tour ****** and the country guides were first class and nothing was too much trouble for them.

Product :

Good value. Right balance of comfort and cost
