    The guide (Shakila) was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and spoke very well Spanish. Friendly and responsive to questions.

    Baybotuev Khusan was an excellent guide! He picked us up from the hotel in a taxi and was with us all day. From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., we spent time seeing wonderful monuments. I had a bad stomach, and he was always concerned. It's a shame the monuments are all in closed areas that you can't access without paying in advance.
