It was different from all the travel I had been before. All the sightseeings were amazingly beautiful. I saw the different site of Islamic countries. People in Uzbekistan were friendly and most of them were willing to help even though we spoke different languages. The arrangement of the tour was great and I had a chance to take domestic flight and express train trip in this tour so that I could know more about the country. All the guides: Vadim, Susana, Mansur and Mavlyuda were good and informative. They all spoke fluent English.
