A nice trip to Shahrisabz - I went to Shahrisabz for a one-day trip from Samarkand with Mr Yusufjon in January 2025. It was a beautiful day, we went by car, stopping in one place on the way (where a German film about Indians was shot some decades ago). I had three hours to visit Shahrisabz, which was appropriate (I wanted to see the museum and all the major sights). I appreciated Mr Yusufjon was very punctual, he even picked me up a bit earlier at my hotel, so I had enough time to visit Shahrisabz. Obviously, by the local standards, the price for the mere transport was quite high but since I only had one day for a trip, I did not mind that much. I would recommend the company and I would not hesitate to use its services, if ever back to Samarkand.

Good trip & awesome lunch - It was a wonderful trip to UNESCO historic center in Shahrizabs. We have visited the gates of Ak-Sarai Palace with outstanding dimensions and bold design, chorsu Bazaar, Amir Temur statue, Darus Saodat complex with tombs, mosques, madrasas, bath, and old houses. We are very honored that Mr.Yusuf, the owner of the company, accompanied us for the trip. He took us to the local restaurant with good food, good views, good service, & reasonable prices. He also explained daily life in Uzbekistan & other interesting destinations. Recommended tour.

Tour guide that goes beyond and abive expectations. - Islom was a very good and attentive guide...brought us to some of the best lamb restaurant on our way to Shahrizadz...and later brought us to visit his home and meet his family....a first for us being in a local uzbek home...the famiky entertained us and even prepared awesome filaf dish and fresh fruits fron their farm..was a really nice and pleasant experience. We also met Isloms wife Sitora and his son Usman, as well as parents and his entire family members. We even had the opportunity to meet the newlyweds in Isloms family (Jasmina and Husabnd) and it was nice to see the cultural wedding dress worn by Jasmina which was elegant and splendid. Truly was an experience and the hospitality by the family was very nice.

Great customer service by Babur (Roslan) - Babur (Roslan) was very knowledgeable and courteous. He showed patience and drove the car with safety and precaution, knowing that my spouse had motion sickness. I rate him highly and wish him a successful career as a tour guide.

Good toor, perfect driver, too much of a price. - The driver was beyond fantastic, informing us about all the landmarks on the way and even showing us an awesome spot with the most melt-in-the-mouth tandoori you can imagine! He is main factor in our 4 star review because otherwise the price of the tour is way too much considering that you only get to see three sites ( with an extra 180000 som for a couple total). Additionally I would not recommend a visit in the heart of winter.

The trip was nice... - The trip was nice overall. Very beautiful and informative. The only minus was that our driver did not speak English at all. Even though, teoretically he should. I think that our driver had an issue and he sent his brother. A very nice person, but the communication was a bit hard.
