Also very easy to reach out to the tour manager which usually answers within 3 minutes on whatsapp Only negative part about our whole trip was that we took the regular train from Khiva to Bukhara, that is a 6 hour trip. The train gets hot during the warmer months. This was not communicated before and we could not prepare for that”
