- Sharon· April 30th, 2025A 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 helpedShow more
- Christine· January 18th, 2025Guides were great, accommodation good, itinerary covered top highlights, can't complainShow more
- Kerry· October 30th, 2024Overall, we really enjoyed the trip. Uzbekistan offered us the best guide (Mansur) & the best historical sites to visit. Turkmenistan was problematic in a few ways. Entering & leaving the country was challenging, the roads outside Ashgabat were a nightmare, & we were forced to leave our Ashgabat hotel a day early. Our guide found us another hotel which was subpar at best. I would recommend flying from Mary to Osh to avoid the pitiful bumpy 4 hour drive from Merv to the Uzbek border. We also paid for a breakfast due to our early flight from Ashgabat to Mary. We only spent one day in Tajikistan & it was a long late drive back to Samarkand. We did stop at a nice hotel in Pentjikant, both before & after the all day 7 Lakes visit. It would have been better to spend the night at that hotel before venturing back across the border towards Samarkand. The 2 train rides in Uzbekistan were excellent as was the food throughout the trip, providing you love meat (i do). A vegetarian might be a bit challenged.Show more
