- Michael· June 6th, 2024The trip was great. The tour was good in itself, but we didn't make any stops in the oases on the trip through the desert. But that was announced. The tour guide was good, but was always on the phone and busy with other things. I would have liked to see a little more nature. Uzbekistan is an agricultural country and we saw very little of it. That could have been done on the trip from Samarkand to Khiva.Show more
- Sandra· October 30th, 2023I still have no words for this incredibly beautiful trip, the great hikes and great moments. I have learned so much about the Japanese culture -then and now- on this trip. Thanks again to my fantastic guide Svenja! Without you, I'm sure this trip would not have been beautiful. I can really recommend this trip to everyone, even if you have been to Japan before, because especially on the hikes through small towns in the countryside, you see completely different corners of this incredibly exciting country.Show more
