    The 10-day "Highlights of Uzbekistan" tour was an excellent and culturally very interesting tour. Our tour guide from G Adventures as the local organizer was very knowledgeable and helpful with individual needs. Uzbekistan is truly a gem with its rich and beautiful architecture going back to the silk road trade and its very friendly people and culture with delicious food. A particular highlight was Samarkand as a UNESCO World Heritage site with its architecture and the medieval fortified town of Khiva as an architectural masterpiece. Unique was the experience to in the authentic 'Sputnik Navoi' Yurt Camp near Lake Aidarkul with local traditional music in the evening that had a separate restaurant on-site and excellent food with a particularly friendly manager. All hotels of this tour were excellent and conveniently located within walking distance of the center and historic attractions. I can highly recommend this unique and diverse Uzbekistan tour experience.

    The itinerary was well organized and gave enough free time for travelers to explore on their own. Our guide Nazera was informative, pleasant and always patient and helpful with our concerns. My one pet peeve was that our hotel in Bukhara did not have strong water pressure and heating at one point, but it got better on the second day.

    Had such an amazing time in Uzbekistan, a destination like no other! Kamola, our tour guide, was fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate when talking about the history of her country. She was also very organised and gave us some great recommendations for places to eat, watch the sunset etc I would recommend this tour for all ages!

    A WONDERFUL COUNTRY WITH MANY SPENDORS... BUT BE PREPARED TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THE BUS IF YOU TAKE THIS TOUR Uzbekistan is fabulous and there are so many great things to see. The guide for this tour (Kamila) was very kind and competent. The accomodation was fine. The itinerary was standard. While the driver was excellent, a lot of time was spent on the bus. In retrospect, I wish I had had the confidence to travel independently using planes and trains.
