Travel Agency: Dolores Travel Services, Uzbekistan (www.sambuh.com). Very competent service. We asked for a driver and English speaking local guides. We can only recommend to take local guides in order to see the best places without having to fight with an outdated map and printed guide. Dolores Tours got us very competent ones and also the Uzbekistan driver Victor was great. He got us through all the check-points with an incredible speed. Be reminded that you also need invitation letters to get the Visas. |
