Well organised trip to Samarkand
What we enjoyed about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was the small group size. We were the smallest group we saw and for us that made the trip all the more special and manageable. A well organised trip.
Silk Road to Samarkand
Well-planned trip and well-organised. Helpful local staff.
Excellent value
This was an excellent tour - friendly participants, very good guide and excellent value for money. What more could one ask for!
Super experience
The whole experience was super - our group got on well which was great. The free days were a good idea so one could re-visit many places.
Ideal group size
What I appreciate most about Mountain Kingdoms is the small numbers. It means smaller, more characterful hotels, better and quicker transport and eating in a small party is so much more pleasant.
Evocative
The route was very well planned and I particularly appreciated the train journey from Samarkand to Tashkent. This was very evocative of the silk route going across the huge expanse of deserted steppe and seeing the small isolated villages.
Fantastic all-round
The itinerary, sights and even the chosen hotels were the highlights of the trip. Exploring Khiva, Bukhara and old Samarkand were really enjoyable days.
