Fantastic one-day tour in Samarkand - With only a week's notice, Angelika from Advantur organised an amazing tour of Samarkand, leaving Tashkent on an early fast train, arriving in Samarkand at 9.30am, doing a fantastic tour with an excellent guide, Farangiz, and her driver, and returning to Tashkent by domestic flight in the evening.
We have seen five breathtaking sides of Samarkand, magnificent and spectacular.
Everything was just perfect, from buying the train and air tickets, sending the driver to my hotel and taking me to the airport on the way back and then from the airport in Tashkent to my hotel.
I highly recommend this travel agency.

Very smooth trip - Prompt reply. Flexible with my itinerary (since I already bought my train tickets). Communicated regularly. Drivers on time. Guide (Zarshed) very informative. Did not get nice photos of the Registan because of the music festival (tip: check for events when planning). Overall, excellent service. Highly recommended tour.

A very fun and informative tour - The tour was very comprehensive, you will learn a lot about the history, culture, and people of Samarkand. Highly recommend it to those who are coming to the city for only a day or two. You will get to see all the beautiful sites in one go.

Personalized and knowledgeable - Zarshed was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe and also was glad Zarshed was able to take some photos for memory keeping, especially since it's hard to do being by myself. I learned so much about Samarkand's fascinating and rich history. An added factor was my trip coincided with a high-level visit, but Zarshed was prepared and adjusted my tour so it wasn't disturbed by closed sites. He also sent me to the best palov restaurant in town- what a treat!
Yes, I did pay for each site separately, and I did pay extra as a solo traveler, rather than a group tour. I highly recommend it. We saw hoarders of other tours coming off buses, but I preferred having a tailored tour and less people to wait on. Just be prepared with spending cash ahead of time for the sites and market. Would recommend.
