Echo this - fast train was decent, Samarkand and Bukhara well worth a visit. Not sure what else you're planning for the trip but I highly recommend Kyrgyzstan if you can fit it in - spectacular scenery. We combined both countries, one of the most surprisingly good holidays I've been on. |  |

Thanks. We will also be going to either Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan. I'm told the former has the better scenery & the latter the better infrastructure. |  |

Ah cool - if you end up opting for Kyrgyzstan we organized everything through CBT - arrived and just sorted when we got there. A friend was working in Bishkek at the time and recommended them. |  |
