    Very interesting tour with a lot of history. Landscapes were beautiful and varied (one day you're in the desert, next in mountains, next in steppe). Some of the hotels were great but some weren't up to scratch. Lots of travel on the road (which is in part expected as most tours for this region will do 20+ days so this tour is kind of the express option). It meant some days were back to back travelling which was exhausting (feels some cases it might have been avoidable with a flight). Still, felt like we saw everything we'd want to in region in two weeks!

    A very busy tour with long days, Turkmenistan needs to be changed getting back At 12.30 am and leaving at 4.30am the next morning is not ok especially after arriving in the morning the day before and starting the tour. The sights at Mary were not worth visiting would have been better to fly to Uzbekistan and continue rather than going to Mary. We had a good group which helped
