5.00Our tour guide quite professionally led us to visit the remains of the castles in these deserts, each corner under his explanation has been vivid. The timing was reasonable, listening to the explanation and the time for free photography was just as good as allocated, thanking him for taking good care of our five-year-old boy, watching the desert with him.

5.00Fantastic. Shurap arrived on time and we drove safely to the first castle. I will not go into details. But Shurap presented in a calm, very clear and non-confusing manner. He is great guy. Very nice, very polite, and very knowledgeable but never overloaded us with information. He also recommended intercity travel options, a great evening restaurant, and we stopped a great cafe in Urgench on the return. What a great, relaxed, interesting day out in the desert.
Simple and straightforward

5.00People who love ancient ruins can be taken to places that are very exciting. The ruins are of course stunning, but more importantly, you get a 360-degree view of the landscape, which will be no different from what it was more than 2,000 years ago. The time you get the illusion of seeing the same scenery as people back then is priceless. I also liked the fact that it was similar to the Masada Fortress in Israel, which is close to the times. Finally, our guide Sukhhrab was kind and very kind. I was really thrilled that they delivered my belongings to the hotel. I recommend it.
