Guide: Mansur in Bukhara and Alimardan in Khiva.
Hotel: Sharq in Tashkent, Bek in Samarkand, Komil Boutique in Bukhara, Euro Asia in Khiva.
This is to say Thank you for all the Wonderful service from all your people and the warm reception that we had from Uzbek People all over at Tashkent, Bukhara and Samarkand. We enjoyed our stay and learned a lot about the customs, Monuments, Culture, and lifestyles. It was my dream to see all these places that we have been reading about in our history books, specially Bukhara and Samarkand. It was a revelation to know about the Romance of Farhod and Shirin took place here, as we have been hearing about these legendary stories.
Highlights of the Tour:
- Dinner at Registan Restaurant at Samarkand. Great Food, Hospitable Hostess, both the mother and daughter.
- Experience at Hammam at Bukhara. Just took me back to 17th Century.
- Timur's Mausoleum. We cud feel that the Humayun's Tomb in Delhi was Inspired by this architecture.
- All the Beautiful People, it was as if God has created all the best looking people at Uzbek only, it is not that we Indians are not good looking but the beauty was in abundance.
- Cleanliness on the Roads.
Thanks again for everything.
We enjoyed very much our trip to Uzbekistan and would first like to thank you and your team for the excellent organization of all the details. Some specific comments:
Especially we would like to convey to you how very pleased we were with the service and friendship of our driver, Gemma. He was always very helpful and thoughtful, and he was good-natured and within a few days we felt a friendship with him. I hope that you will especially communicate to him how much we appreciated his hospitality and courtesy (and he was also a very good driver and guide!).
The tour guides (i.e., in Samarkand and in Bukhara) were also very good; they were knowledgeable and spoke excellent English and were very courteous.
Also, Rustam, in the mountains, was an excellent guide and we enjoyed his stories about Uzbekistan history and culture. You are very fortunate to have Gemma and Rustam on your team. The horseback riding trek was amazing! … perhaps our favorite day, and you should Maybe give more highlight to this horseback riding trek on your website.
The hotels (Samarkand, Bukhara) were fine. They were clean and comfortable. So, in summary, we enjoyed our trip to Uzbekistan, and I would like to thank you personally for the hard work and commitment in planning and making all of the arrangements. I would not hesitate in recommending OrexCA to other travelers/tourists. I look forward to returning to Uzbekistan someday
In September, Ruth and I made a great trip to the Silk Road in Uzbekistan. It was a great adventure for us especially for me since I always wanted to retrace Marco Polo's travels. The cities of Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand are real jewels and bring the stories of 1001 nights to life. The Mosques and Madrasassah's are wonders of Islamic architecture and rival the Taj Mahal in India.
