Many thanks @Orient Tours Company Ksenia Uzbekistan for the wonderful tour of Uzbekistan! Everything was organized perfectly — we were met and escorted on time, even when there were flight delays. Real oriental hospitality was felt at every stop. The route was well chosen, and the team worked professionally. I highly recommend Ksenia as an excellent travel organizer! 🇭🇺

Today our tour has ended, and we would like to thank Ksenia and all the organizers, guides and drivers of our route (Tashkent-Samarkand-Bukhara-Tashkent)!🌺 Everything was organized with a soul, and even with the appearance of some overlaps, they were compensated by the hospitality of the locals and their sincere desire to help. All the guides were competent and friendly, especially Konstantin's and Sergey's excursions to the mountains were memorable.👏👏👏 We were very impressed by the cultural and natural attractions.😍 Special thanks for the wonderful delicious dinners, as well as excellent accommodation in Samarkand (Samarkand Travel Hotel)👍 Have a good rest, and we return home with a great mood, a boost of energy and lots of photos!🎉

Thank you to the staff of Orient Tour for a wonderful stay! Excellent organization, comfortable hotels (I didn't like only Euro Asia), well-designed itinerary and well-chosen guides. We drove from Tashkent to Khiva. It's a bit difficult to travel at night and in the evening, but there's no other way to fit such an intensive program into one week) Throughout the trip, we felt your concern, concern and received help in any situation! I really liked the guides. Yulia accompanied us to the Chimgan mountains: caring, attentive, positive and very sincere. Konstantin told us about Tashkent. He won us over with his erudition, energy and openness. Sabina met us in Samarkand: gentle, sincere and welcoming, incredibly in love with her country and people. From her we learned a lot of interesting things about the life of local residents, traditions and customs. Gulya showed us Bukhara, and Nilufar showed us Khiva. Thank you so much, Thanks to you, Uzbekistan has become brighter, more beautiful and more native! Delicious food😋 We ate awesome shurpa in the mountains, and in the pilaf center in Tashkent. https://yandex.ru/maps/org/beshqozon/85019542342/?ll=69.284965%2C41.347500&z=16 The most delicious wedding pilaf, which is included in the tour program, had a wonderful dinner at the Chocolate cafe in Samarkand before the evening train. In Bukhara, the locals recommended the Melody, as it has the most delicious barbecue in the city, but we never got there. Labi Hovus is located on the shore of a pond with a fountain and swans, a beautiful view of the city opens from the second-floor terrace of Old Bukhara, Ivan is very tasty, but it seemed expensive to us. I liked the Chalet the most: an open veranda, a great kitchen, a pleasant atmosphere and live music (masterful violin playing and an excellent repertoire of world classical hits). In Khiva, I liked the Terrace the most. We tried Khorezm cuisine: we didn't dare to have raw meat tartare, but shivit oshi (green spinach noodles) and tukhum barak (dumplings with omelet) were to our taste: the most delicate dough and curdled milk sauce perfectly complement the dish. The description is not very good, but new things are always interesting to try, and it was so delicious to me that I ordered twice) It's also the only place in Uzbekistan where we really enjoyed the desserts. The tourists in our group advised to visit the Plane Tree: https://oddmenu.com/uz/p/chinor-restaurant . The place is not touristic, but popular: everything is busy there in the evening. We didn't like the food, and it's not very cozy yet because of the unfinished renovation on the second floor. There are no problems getting from one part of the city to another. Taxis were ordered through Yandex. Money, and all trips were within 120 rubles. All the taxi drivers speak Russian and were very friendly. In cafes and restaurants, at least one waiter speaks Russian too. Everyone speaks English, as there are more foreign tourists than tourists from Russia. In the compartment of the train to Khiva, we were traveling with Americans from New York. In addition to Americans, there are many Italians and Germans in tourist places. Eyes run away at the bazaars😊 You need to bargain, as the guides advise, but not with everyone) Like everywhere else, everyone is different: sometimes sellers overcharge, stand their ground, and give up little. I mostly came across kind people who immediately offered a good discount for the first purchase, or for the evening bazaar, or the price was significantly lower than everywhere else, just like that.☺️ Beautiful architecture, interesting culture, rich history. We visited Tamerlane's tomb on his birthday! Tamerlane himself!!! The invincible Tamerlane, who founded the empire! The opportunity to touch history and visit places where great historical events took place is sometimes breathtaking! Be sure to come! For those who are planning a trip, a wonderful vacation and unforgettable impressions! Wonderful memories for those who have already returned! A Prosperity Orient Tour and sincere thanks🙏❤
