This was my second trip with Explore, and like the first was excellent overall but with a few observations I would like to make. The night at the yurt camp was very disappointing. I was not expecting to have the place to myself but the atmosphere was ruined by the addition - somewhat bizarrely - of a disco and another tour group who sang loud songs long after we had all gone to bed. Secondly, Explore's advice to bring mainly US Dollars seems over cautious. There were plenty of atm's in Samarkand and Bukhara where you can take out local currency (and you need a lot of it) but less banks to change money over. That said the tour itself fulfilled a dream of visiting Samarkand. The accommodation and itinerary were good with enough down time to explore or go back to places we had visited. The people are very friendly, happy to haggle a bit and enjoy having their photos taken with visitors from foreign countries! I loved it!

This was an exciting way to visit a part of the world that is less travelled to. I would recommend this tour for people that are outdoorsy, active, and adventurous. Almost all meals and activities are included for this tour which is great.

My quibbles with this trip are very minor and I've told explore (update the itinerary please!) but fundamentally I loved this trip. Met lovely people. Saw amazing places and scenery. Food a bit meh but that's not why you go to either Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan. I loved the differences between the countries. Kyrgyzstan was unbelievably beautiful and Uzbekistan had amazing buildings.

Overall, this was an excellent trip and one of the best I have done with Explore over very many years. It was certainly helped by having a good, small group and two superb leaders (one in each country), who were extremely knowledgeable and very personable. The local guides were also outstanding. The sights were extraordinary (the Islamic architecture is simply breath-taking), the people were lovely and I did not mind the long drives (on spacious air conditioned coaches) or the 9.5 hour train journey. to Samarkand As expected, the trip’s pace was full-on. As a group we took advantage of the optional extras offered and I would recommend that others seriously consider those too, especially the spectacular Uzbek music and dance show at the Grand Hall in Samarkand. Hotel accommodation was better than I had expected and generally pretty good. If I have a criticism it is that the trip should perhaps be a day longer. It would have been nice to have spent more time in Khiva and the last day in Tashkent was too long, tiring and rushed. Thankfully, I had booked an extra day in the city, although others had early morning flights. While Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are very different, I much preferred the time we spent in the latter.
