This company cares only about your money not the experience. Our driver didn’t take us to Gijduvan because tour operator FORGOT to inform the driver that it’s part of the trip. I mean seriously? That is your job, and you forgot to say it? Additionally trip ends at your hotel but first they will force you to go to Registan and change cars even if your hotel is outside of the city and you pass it and keep driving for extra 20-30’. Trip is long and boring, it’s more of driving than desert and lake time, plus the lake itself has nothing to offer.tiyienjoy

Nous avions imaginé un petit camp avec 3 ou 4 yourtes... raté ! les bus arrivent jusqu'au camp, on se retrouve facilement à 50 personnes voir plus ! Repas correct, yourte propre... A notre avis ne vaut pas le détour.
