We did enjoy every element of the trip, no matter the scenery, people, weather, everything was perfect.
All guides are very knowledgeable and helpful with different personalities. I would specially praise the two guides in Tashkent and Samarkand ( Mrs. Nargiza & Mrs. Feruza ) because they could not only deliver the information but observed the interests of the travellers which I really appreciated.
Restaurant-wise, I found the restaurants were quite diversified but almost every website is introducing the options of local food. So I think some other options can be suggested. I found the Korean restaurant in Samarkand was quite good as an option for an asian stomach. The grills were a bit dry but others were not bad. However, there are some flies around. Sitting in the private rooms of the restaurant would be better.

I also tried a Turkish restaurant in Tashkent that was also nice and authentic.

I also saw different French cafes and Italian restaurants around.
Worth mentioning, I had a tea break in Bukhara and the place was named aladdin lamp inside a madrasah with live music. The vibe was nice and enjoyable. However, they also provide shisha so not for all clients but a lovely option to recommend for a break after the tour.
