    Tour and trip didn't happen. Tour operator didn't turn up. Trying to claim refund. Almost impossible.

    This was just car service between Khiva and the three fortresses, no guide and driver had limited English. If you want to know the history, go with guided tour.

    Really worthwhile to see...

    Really worthwhile to see 3rd century Bactrian ruins! The ruins were not in the best shape and it was quite a long drive across the sand to see them, but it was still worth going.

    Aladdin Travel's not good enough...

    It was very helpful to have the airport as the departure point and to arrange it. I understood that because I had heard beforehand that the driver was not a guide and there was no explanation. But they didn't turn on the air conditioning, and the hot dust wind kept blowing away my strength. In the end, the driver told me to pay the entrance fee to the "Qizil Qala" which is listed as included in the tour, and it is included in the tour price! The driver said he would leave without going in, so I contacted the tour company and finally got paid. My partner would say things like, "Let's pay the entrance fee" because it was hot, and it was a bad aftertaste because it was a bad atmosphere.
