I recently completed this tour, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning architecture, rich history, and warm hospitality of the Uzbek people. The highlights were many: exploring the magnificent Registan Square in Samarkand, marveling at the intricate tilework of the Shah-i-Zinda necropolis, and wandering through the ancient city of Khiva, a true step back in time. Our guide Jamshid was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the history to life. The accommodations were comfortable and well-located, and the food was delicious, offering a wonderful taste of Uzbek cuisine. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the wonders of Uzbekistan!
