In terms of logistics and planning the trip was wonderful. The guides and hotel selection are also good.
The tour in Samarkand felt a bit rushed - I would have liked to have more time to explore the sites before rushing to another place. The hotel in Samarkand was also a bit far from the key sites, compared to more central locations like the hotels in Khiva and Bukhara.

I would love to plan another trip with Advantour in future. All the best!

I had some wonderful days in Uzbekistan! This was the best tour I ever had.

I am really grateful that you organized all in such a pleasant and impressive way, despite all problems with COVID-19. Everything was perfect.

The group was also a great team and I had much fun in spending these days together.

And Uzbekistan is an amazing country that I will keep in best memory.
