Every single day was thoughtfully paced. The local guides brought the Registan to life with stories you’d never find in a guidebook.

Small group, wonderful hotels, and the plov evening with a local family was the highlight of our trip. Flawless organisation.

The Afrosiyob train made the long distances effortless. Khiva at sunset is something I’ll never forget.
