**Dreamlike trip through Uzbekistan with Bavaria Fernreisen** From 13.03.25 to 24.03.25 we were able to experience an unforgettable trip to Uzbekistan with Bavaria Fernreisen. Even the first contact with the tour operator was extremely pleasant - all questions were answered in a friendly and competent manner. I was particularly pleased with the assistance with the seat reservation, which was very helpful for me with a height of 196 cm. The trip itself was an absolute dream! One of the main reasons for this was our outstanding tour guide Ruslan Sakeov. I have never experienced so much expertise, commitment and cordiality on my many long-distance trips. The hotels were all very good, the hotel in Tashkent even excellent. The means of transportation were also impressive - modern, well-maintained vehicles made for pleasant journeys. The train journeys were a special experience: by high-speed train to Samarkand, by regular train to Kokand and finally the spectacular return journey in luxurious minibuses over the 3,500 meter high mountain range back to Tashkent. An unexpected highlight was a visit to an opera performance in Tashkent, which was not even on the official program - a perfect end to this great trip. All in all: absolutely great! We will definitely be booking our next trip with Bavaria Fernreisen again.Show more
