Pricey but very good tour content - We enjoyed our trip with the very friendly and knowledgeable Zainab and a car and driver. But I feel it was overpriced (more than double the cost of a similar trip in Bokhara with no car) although I am not sure of the entry tickets' contribution. A little too much stopping for shopping for me but my partner was happy with that, and almost every place one visits in Uzbekistan is a tourist marketplace.
