                We had a wonderful time in Uzbekistan. 
Advantour has done an outstanding job to get everything organized for us. Our tour went smoothly and we appreciate the communication lines being open all the time. We felt we can always count on you during our stay there.
The guides in each city were excellent, they were flexible and provided just enough level of historical and cultural information for us.
We enjoyed our visit to Registan Square, strolling through the old town Bukhara and Besh Qozon restaurant in Tashkent (I think it’s a must on a tour).
We think you could suggest more of optional activities for customers that they could choose to either do or not to do as part of the tour, like music/dance performances, tickets to ballet, opera or other experiences.
Also, the trains were very comfortable but maybe some of the customers would appreciate an option to upgrade to VIP class (instead of economy coach).
We will definitely recommend Advantour to any of our friends that would like to travel to Uzbekistan.

                On behalf of the group I want to thank you and everyone at Advantour for a fabulous tour of your beautiful and fascinating country.
Bahrom was an excellent guide (and a wonderful guy), the drivers were great, everything worked out perfectly.
Love from (in my case) Germany.

                This tour was far beyond expectations + normal standards. I was so happy with every aspect of organization + staff. The support was beyond anything I`ve experienced. Staff were kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, very professional. Communication was excellent. I would return  again with this company + recommend to my friends. Standard was very high + gives a wonderful impression of Uzbekistan.
