    We enjoyed our time in Uzbekistan. Guides in each region were informative and we'd really recommend the tour with Silk Road Destinations. Rushana was really helpful and pleasant to deal with from start to finish.

    The tour was organised well. It was not like many tours that are jammed packed. There was a chance to rest in the afternoon. It was the only tour group that allowed children under 12. The accommodation was good as were the meals. This tour group tends to book the more expensive hotels and restaurants. The only complaint was that our tour guide abruptly left for 1.5 days. We lost most of one day travelling and then waited 5 hours for another guide to come to our hotel to continue the tour. He took us to dinner and then left. The travelling part was fine, but $400/day and not doing anything was not what we expected.

    The tour of Uzbekistan was very informative, with lots of information about the history of the people. Our guide was very knowledgeable, interesting and informative. He was very proud of this country and most interested in making it a trip that we would enjoy. We visited the guest house owned by our driver and his family and really enjoyed his mother's home cooking.
