Travels to Uzbekistan - Amin presented as a very educated and humorous guide. He is knowledgeable and most importantly able to feel the guests vibes to mingle and make the trip more enjoyable. We had a fabulous time with fun and laughter. Another memorable trip in our travel book in a beautiful country and happy loving citizens of Uzbekistan. Enjoyed every moment with Amin at all destinations and delicious food and shopping. Thank you Amin

The best guided tour I’ve ever been on - 10/10 book immediately! - This was one of the best guided experiences I’ve ever done. We were picked up in a modern, airconned private car and taken to the best locations in Samarkand. Amin was so informative - which added such depth and understanding to our time in Samarkand. The tour was perfectly paced and he was generous with him time going above and beyond to make sure we were happy - he even amended the itinerary to include a few extras suited to our interests. We appreciated how attentive he was, making sure we were ok in the heat, stopping for snacks and helping us plan our next leg of our trip. Finally, we were fortunate enough to be invited to meet his family who were wonderful and welcoming. Thank you for having us in your beautiful house :) 10/10 guide and experience - you won’t regret choosing him!

Too expensive for a few hours - The tour for 110 Euros is expensive and not entirely worth it. The guide is knowledgeable and kind but forgot about the tour and came an hour late after I called and reminded him. However his kind and positive attitude made up for it. Yet, too expensive for what it entails.
