She set me up with an amazing local guide, Akhmadjanova Mashkhura, who I now consider a dear friend. I started in Taskkent and traveled on to Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. One of the highlights was a great feast in the personal home of Zulya's family, where I was treated to food, singing, and dancing. Uzbekistan is a gem—especially in the capable hands of wonderful local guides and this expert travel advisor!" - Susan P. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia Itinerary Was this page helpful?
