I finally am getting around to writing a review of this wonderful Uzbekistan Small Group Tour  you put together for us! It was very well organised with the beautiful Shira guiding us all the way! The itinerary although hectic and tiring at times was excellent and that’s what being a tourist is all about! Transport in the minibus was very good and our driver excellent. We enjoyed the bullet train experience; however, we did have to complain about the individual car drivers for our trip over the mountain pass. We felt they drove too fast and seat belts not being a requirement concerned us all, however, after speaking with Shira she sorted it out! The hotels were very good, all the meals were excellent, food was fresh and so much of it! Our guide, Shira, shared and taught us so much about the history and culture of the Silk Road. We saw and learnt about the architecture, visited many beautiful historical sites, saw the mulberry crafts, silks, weaving, the traditional textiles, embroidery styles, we loved both the fashion parades and our small group also had lots of fun wandering the markets. It allowed us all to experience everything in such a personal way, so even though we had just met it was like best friends together!  
Glenda, thank you for organising this wonderful trip.
