This itinerary is excellent with a reasonable pace for people who want to chill a bit and thoughtfully take the sights in. The travel time feels reasonable and we learned so much about the history and culture of Uzbekistan. The trip was exceptional and it was all thanks to Marifat, our CEO. I don't think I would have had nearly as much fun if I did a solo trip. Her local knowledge, extensive historical research, and winning personality make her an excellent ambassador for G Adventures. If anything, she is too good at her job, because I was sad to say goodbye to her, feeling as though I was saying farewell to an old friend.
