Exceptional Samarkand Tour with a Personal Touch - I had an incredible experience on the Samarkand One Day Tour from Tashkent, and I cannot thank our tour guide, Shoxrux, enough. The tour was seamless from start to finish, with a private taxi picking me up from my hotel (Intercontinenal, another great one btw!) in Tashkent and taking me to the train station. The local guide personally escorted me through security and onto the high-speed train, ensuring everything went smoothly. Roundtrip tickets were included, which is a huge plus considering how difficult it can be to purchase high-speed train tickets on your own. Once in Samarkand, Shoxrux’s detailed explanations throughout the tour brought the rich history of Samarkand to life, making each site even more fascinating. He was also incredibly attentive in ensuring we had plenty of great photo opportunities—he’s fantastic at taking pictures! The group was small, with only two other participants, so it felt like a private tour for the 3 of us, which was perfect for me as I was traveling alone. Shoxrux even provided me with an extra portion of the tour before the other guests arrived, adding a personal touch that I greatly appreciated. We saw everything as advertised, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. If you're considering this tour, I highly recommend it—and be sure to ask for Shoxrux as your guide!

Good! - The Tashkent Tour is a day trip from Tashkent. The express train takes about two hours each way, so you can only go around highlights, but the content is good enough. The Guides are kind and it was a great experience. Thank you!!!

I highly recommend it***** - Best trip ever, Ali organised everything for me from the hotel to Samarkand and back again to to the hotel. The tour guide has so much knowledge and I had so much time in Samarkand to see everything in one day. The train was on time and also Ali was waiting me on time in front of the train station to bring me back to the hotel. Highly recommended ****

Simply go for it! - The tour was really well organized: the overall information provided, the purchase of the tickets, the pick-ups on time...and what we loved most was the amazing local guide, Sevinch, who was really kind and smart. She knew everything about the sites visited and made the tour even more special. Highly recommended!
