It was a great guide. The scorching heat of mid-May and the long drive, albeit on a paved road, made the tour fun, thanks to a friendly guide. The guides also told me about history and culture wherever I went in plain English, which gave me a great understanding of Uzbekistan. Thank you for your professional service and hospitality. Thank you for driving the long distance. I fell in love with Uzbekistan. I think I will come to Uzbekistan again.

Vikram was an awesome driver and guide! We truly enjoyed this tour as the highlight of our trip. The star and moon gazing was quite an experience with little to none, light pollution. Everything was really just great! Food was really good! Camp fire, music, singing, camels… loved it! 🥰

We had a great time with our guide Ikrom. Tour started in Bukhara, then visited Nurata with her fortress after a stop at an ancient sardoba. Delicious lunch in a cozy garden and after we reached our yurta camp in the desert, very nice and comfortable. Camel ride before a stunning sunset on the dune right behind our yurta and then a good dinner. Before going to bed a folkloristic entertainment around the fire with live kazak music. Next morning after breakfast we visited a desert village near the camp and then some relax and swimming in the huge Ayadarkul lake, where we also had lunch with fresh fish from the lake. After that we headed to Samarkand to end our trip. Fantastic tour in lonely places far from the crowds, and Ikrom has been an awesome guide and driver to spend some time talking with.

It was miracle to me to visit the nice place and have fun as I had had only a bit time to prepare. Walking in the desert was exciting and relaxing. The night was beautiful and exotic. I really appreciate the tour and the driver. He was really a nice guide to show me a wonderful village and historical places and diligent translator there as well as a good driver.

We did the nurata-yurt-camp-tour-2days tour, a very nice experience and, despite being organized by a Tour Operator, it was very authentic. Meeting local people, having the chance to see how they live is very interesting. The Uzbek desert is still very little touristy but the structures present give the opportunity to enjoy the excursion. If you decide on a tour to Uzbekistan with this agency, ask for Ikrom, a reliable driver (very important for how they drive in Uzbekistan and for the rough roads you will travel on), friendly and very helpful. Speak a little English, understanding each other won't be a problem. The only thing that is not very Uzbek are the prices, calculated on excursions as if they were in Europe.

Our wonderful and friendly driver Ikrom took us from Samarkand to Norata, where we had lunch, and then to the yurt camp. We swam in the Aydar Lake, listened to music next to the fire, watched the stars, rode in camel, ate great food and got to know how people live in the desert. I thoroughly recommend this tour.

Our 2 days tour was great. We were paired with Ykram as driver and he has been fantastic. He was a great driver but also a very knowledgeable guide, and we loved he shared so many information with us. Even if his English might not have been 100% he really explained us a lots of things, showed us the wildlife in the desert and really went an extra mile to make us enjoying our tour. We enjoyed every minute of our tour: the yurta was great and the food was amazing. The booking process was also super reliable and our driver was early on the pick up day. The yurta camp has toilets and shower facilities, however remember to pack something warm for the night.
