The sights at Mary were not worth visiting would have been better to fly to Uzbekistan and continue rather than going to Mary. We had a good group which helped

There should be a better communication of pick up when transfering to the border like what we have experienced during our transfer from Turkmenistan to Kyrgysztan where we had to ride the shuttle bus two times & then have to walk about half a mile to meet the next tour guide and then transfer to a Van to the hotel in Kyrgysztan. That was really very tiring & stressful. We had also encountered the same problem when we transfered to the border of Kazasktan , where we had to wait for more than 1 hr for the tour guide to pick us up & then later the tour guide told us that they were delayed due to car problems.
The tour going to the Darvasa Gas crater was a wonderful experience & I really enjoyed it, the only set back was the rough road with so many potholes that made the road very bumpy & shakes your whole body during the trip. One of our companions in the 4 wheel drive SUV had to tell the driver to stop immediately to empty her urinary bladder under the bushes because we were in the middle of a desert. In regards to the trip to Tajikistan, the only set back was the rough & bumpy road going up the mountain to visit the 7 Lakes that took 4 hrs roundtrip. Overall I have experienced 75% positive & 25 % negative .
