Paula Evans review 18 Sep 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The gas crater was superb. Really had the "wow" factor. The yurt camp at Darwasa was lovely.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
To tell people at home that they might not hear from you because a lot of internet is blocked and sometimes Impossible to make international calls! Also a lot of time is spent driving because the places of interest are so wide apart.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Maybe the villages benefited by us coming because I assume they were paid something. We drove long distances so I don't think that helped the planet any but we did make sure we took all our rubbish with us. Restaurants benefited from our custom.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
It was really good. So many highlights. The desert drivers were great especially ours he was a proper action man! Ashgabat was amazing. The underground lake was strange but good. The desert drivers worked really hard, driving all day then putting up tents and cooking lovely food for us. Only disappointing thing was the hotel in Mary. Flashy on the outside but the worst breakfast I have had anywhere! Little things like a kettle and cups in the room but no water coffee or tea. Fantastic breakfast at the yurt camp and when we camped.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
