Nearly everything was done to a high standard. The criticisms I had amount to:
1. One hotel did not offer tea/coffee/kettle in the room
2. English language rolling news channels not available in every hotel
3. Local guides need to speak slower, pay attention to pronunciation and cut back just a little on factual info presented
4. Overnight stay in Yurt should be cut from the schedule to leave more time in Samarkand or Tashkent. The Yurt stay seemed staged and inauthentic, sleeping quarters were noisy and food was basic. No coffee was offered.
