“Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan were beyond my expectations. The trip has demystified many misconceptions I had about these countries. It was a delight and insightful to chat with the guides and locals; hearing folklore, stories, and history from a different perspective. The historical monuments and Soviet era architecture were impressive and pictures do not do it justice.
With Gourmet Trails, we were able to try popular local restaurants (that locals are willing to drive and queue for!) and the option to try unique/exotic offerings when up for it.
p.s. if locals leave their phones on an outdoor cafe table, it is a safe country”
