Dear Isabella,

just a brief note to say thanks for arranging our holiday to China. I'm glad to say that the tour ran smoothly and it was an excellent holiday. The guides were brilliant and did everything they could to make sure we had a great holiday.

The trip was good value for money and we were happy with all hotels, especially the Garden Hotel in Xi an with its traditional Chinese garden.

Thanks again for all your efforts,

Kind regards,

Mr and Mrs Oliver

Dear Silk Road and Beyond,

Re: The Grand Silk Road and Shanghai 4th - 29th September 2007.

What an outstanding trip! Our warmest congratulations and thanks for putting together the arrangements. Everything worked like clock-work!

We have got some wonderful memories of all the places we visited, people we met and the terrifying landscapes through which we travelled. Shanghai was also a howling success. I was able to visit many of the places as I new as a child as well as my father’s old factory. One of the added bonuses of the trip was meeting up with two of you other clients in Bokhara. They became firm friends and from Bishkek onwards we usually met up in the evening for a drink and a meal.

You have got some extremely competent country based colleagues. I would be grateful if you would pass on my positive comments to you local offices, as I believe it is important that they are informed when they are doing a good job. Many thanks.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

Mr Denis Kenyon.

Dear Tanya,

Just a note to say Thankyou! We very much enjoyed our trip to Iran. Each day was full of surprises and our guide Siavash Amirsharafi was excellent - we couldn't have wished for a better guide! It’s going to take a longtime to sink in, the things that we have seen and done. We hope to be able to return one day to see some more of this beautiful country.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Denise and Andrea Toms.

Dear Nigel,

I certainly was in every way impressed with the Grand Silk Road Tour, and delighted that despite my older age and the heat in Uzbekistan I was well able to get around and make the most of the tour.

The standrad of hotel was well above expecation, and the long drives gave us good opportunity to study not only the scenery, but also the farming, irrigation and the geology.

I would like to go on a tour of Turkmenistan and Iran in the future so I will be contacting you in the future.

With my sincerest thanks for your helpfulness over our tour on the Silk Road.

Yours sincerley,

Mrs Kathleen Whitton.

Dear Sir,

We have recently from your Nile Discovery tour which I booked through Silk Road and Beyond. We had an absolutely superb time and I felt I must write and thank you for arranging such as wonderful holiday. Right from my initial telephone call your staff have been so very helpful and guided us through the options, arranged the hotels, that we wanted and put everything into place and the result was a holidays of a lifetime for us.

Once in Egypt, everything went smoothly. There were always people to meet us, the guides were friendly and informative and there were no hitches with internal travel arrangements.

I have recommended your company to all my friends and I hope that we will get to book another trip in the future.

Thank you once again,

Mrs Janet Buckingham.

Dear Silk Road and Beyond,

I did not rush a letter to you immediately upon my return from Jordan as I wanted to settle down and spends a little time reflecting out there.

Having thought about it I would like you to know how very grateful I am to you and Silk Road and Beyond for making this an unforgettable experience.

I have travelled extensively throughout my life and I can safely say that this trip was an unforgettable experience for me. Our time spent riding in the desert, seeing these great landscapes and I also loved Petra, surley one of the wonders of the world and the Dead Sea was exactly right for our last day. You planned the itinerary to perfection and I have complaints, only compliments. Our guides were excellent and bentover backwards to make us comfortable and happy.

With many thanks and best wishes,

yours sincerely,

Lady Georgiana Boothby.

Dear Silk Road and Beyond,

I must apologize for taking so long to write. I must tell you that you are the most helpful and thorough tour operator I have ever dealt with, and I really appreciate the fact that you were helpful and friendly.

My tour to Iran was perfect. Hussein my guide, was a very nice person and I was pleased to have his company and to benefit from his vast Knowledge. All the drivers were very nice too.

The Iranians I met were warm and friendly, and I also enjoyed the week I spent with friends after the tour.

Thanks again for so efficiently arranging the tour. I keep telling people how good Silk Road and Beyond are.

With good wishes,

Shirley Murray.

Dear Nigel,

Following our telephone conversation on Friday I would like to say once again what an excellent holiday I had in Iran. Everything fell into place and all told it was a memorable trip.

In particular I must mention my guide, Mr Ghanavati. He could not have been better, providing first rate knowledge and a good sense of humour. In all respects Mr Ghanavati was a top man and an exceptionally agreeable traveling companion. I must also mention the driver, “ Mr Mortezar” who was also a most helpful and amenable individual.

Once again, many thanks and I look forward to receiving your new brochure.

Your sincerely,

David Hunter.

Dear Sir,

Last time we spoke you expressed interest in seeing some photos I took on our Silk Road Tour through Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and China organized by you so here is a selection. It was a most successful and enjoyable trip and I would have liked to linger longer at almost all our stops.

I feel there is much unfinished business in that part of the world. Many thanks for your careful organization of our tour, it was a journey to remember. I will not hesitate to recommend Silk Road and Beyond.

Best regards,

Jim Stewart.

Dear Mrs Evans,

Having just returned from your Azerbaijan tour, my wife and I both enjoyed the tour which we found most interesting. All the arrangements went well and our guide Asya and driver Rasim, were excellent. We all got on well together. They looked after us the entire time including when we had free time so that were perhaps a little less enterprising than we might have been.

Sheki proved to be delightful – even though the itinerary was very well planned, we would have liked to have more time there. We especially liked the Caravanserai, it was extremely atmospheric.

All in all an excellent tour. We hope that we may travel with you gain sometime.

Yours sincerely,


John Keates.
