Very nice! Recommended - I did the tour Bukhara-Nurata-Aydar Lake-Yurt Camp-Samarkand and it was awesome! I was solo traveling but thanks to the very nice guide Khaasan, I did not feel lonely at all! He always tried to explain himself and I think that after speaking for a while his English was already much better! Khaasan also gave suggestions on the things to do and I appreciated it a lot as I was able to see different things

Poor description - The description of the tour is beyond poor, it doesn’t state that the trip starts in Samarkand and ends in Bukhara. We started in Samarkand needed to go back to Samarkand, informed the driver of this but once we noticed that he was going to Bukhara we where demanded 50USD extra to go to Samarkand where we had hotel, car and rest of luggage. Rude person on the phone demanded the money. Very disappointed. We where not taken to the ancient wall paintings and never informed of stop duration. Car didn’t have AC, driver did not speak English and driving was rough, got stopped by traffic police once.

The good, the bad & the ugly - Here's the text with grammar and minor stylistic improvements: Yurts are quite authentic, spacious, and have beds to sleep in. The bedding is very firm and not super comfortable. It can be very cold at night, so bring warm clothes. All in all, if you like camping, then go for it. The food served is simple yet quite tasty and comes in good portion sizes. For the evening entertainment, there was a Kazakh singer. He was not bad at all; however, after singing only 6-7 songs, he was done. Moreover, he took off his hat and walked around the circle asking for money. Tourists felt pressured and had to give him some tips. The absolutely revolting part was the camel ride. The animals are grossly mistreated. A couple of camels were clearly in pain, groaning every time their handlers made them kneel down and get up. All animals had punctured noses with wooden sticks, and one had a heavy metal bolt through its delicate nose. The weight of the metal made the camel's nose hang to one side (see the picture). Do not ride the camels. It's not worth it, let alone give the handlers tips! The ride was included in the price, but they asked for 20-30k of local currency nonetheless. Do not encourage animal cruelty!
