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.
