  • Ancient Cities Tour to Uzbekistan - Private Tour reviewer 1
    · October 27th, 2025
    Global Connect was an amazing find for us. You might think you don’t need a tour operator, but when something goes wrong in a country where you don’t share a first language, you realize how valuable that support really is. My cousin misplaced her passport, and Global Connect was outstanding in how they jumped in to help. Any time we were confused or had a question, we had true 24/7 support. They were always available on WhatsApp and responded immediately. This is a semi-guided tour, so you will still take local trains and move between cities on your own sometimes — but we actually enjoyed that. It gave us a more authentic experience of local transport while still having a safety net. All the drivers Global Connect arranged were on time (early, even). We never had to wait for anyone. A couple practical notes: • The times in the itinerary are indicative, not exact. For example, our flight from Tashkent left an hour earlier than expected. • Build in flexibility. It’s worth it. The overall itinerary was perfect for what we wanted, and the local operators were excellent. Special mention to the woman who supported us in Samarkand — she was wonderful. If you have extra time in Samarkand, don’t miss the evening light show at Registan Square. It’s free, it’s beautiful, and it’s absolutely worth seeing. I also recommend putting together a short list of restaurants in advance so you can try local food. The guides are great at suggesting where to eat, where to shop, and what extra activities to add. Thank you, Global Connect, for an awesome trip. You were wonderful from start to finish.
