Hi Dani,
Sorry I have a few more questions!!
1. did you book your transportation beforehand? your pricing listed is per car? (excluding train) or is it per person with shared taxi?
2. if you booked your transportation on the spot, was it very difficult to negotiate or get one?
3. for the 10 hour ride for $100 from Khiva to Bukhara - how did you book that? thru a guest house?
4. did you see people offering guide services at the locations? for me, its probably more enjoyable if I can find a local guide to explain the wonderful history and culture behind the sights.
These questions would help me decide if I can travel independently without a guided tour (which I'm being quoted around $800 USD for 1 week per person for double occupancy) Thanks a ton!!!
