We recently visited Uzbekistan through Gulliver Holiday. They are such a fantastic tourist agency to reach for your vacation. This is our third time we are liaising with them for our vacation and every time they satisfy our needs and do what they say. Very important part in thier itinerary is, choosing right local guide. This time our guide Mr.Muzridden was very polite guy with excellent knowledge about city and he was very such supportive to cover all places as per itinerary. In fact, during our free time, he took us to some other places as well and from airport to airport, he was assisting us all time. Special thanks to Saurabh for making our itinerary most beneficial one to utilize whole 3 days.Posted on Nagaraj SubramaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
