All the guides were good and the fact they had diverse backgrounds and beliefs added interest to the tour. Sam, our Turkmenistan guide, was a standout. He went above and beyond with getting us through border crossings and distracting a difficult member of the tour. Unlike other reviewers, I very much enjoyed interacting with locals in the mountain villages (Gazza & Voru). Although Samarkand, Bukhara & Khiva were interesting, I found the commercialisation (Shops & tourist shows) too much at times. Overall a good balance of sights, culture and activities with little unutilised time.

It was a great tour that we enjoyed a lot. It was my first trip to Central Asia, and I’m very glad I chose East Site. Everything was well organized and went smoothly from start to finish. The guides were friendly, helpful, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The hotels were clean and pleasant, and overall the tour was very good value for the money. We’re still very interested in the Caucasus tour for next year and hope to schedule it once we settle on the dates. I would gladly recommend East Site to anyone considering this part of the world.
