Such an amazing city and your - I’ve been to 63 countries and this was one of the most incredible places I’ve ever been to. The tour is planned perfectly, allowing you to see so much if this ancient city in one day. The sites are amazing and the tour guide (Dilfuza) was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. The train ride was fast and comfortable. The tour company is very good about communication and clearly outlines all expectations. If you only book one tour in Uzbekistan, pick this one (and ask for Dilfuza).

Fabulous City! Must visit - A long day but a fabulous one! The hotel pick up and train tickets were perfectly organised well in advance
On arriving at Samarkand I met the guide Feruz who passed on lots of information about the various places we visited
We even had time to try a Plov which was lovely. If you have time when in Tashkent make sure you take this trip.
It’s a long day but totally worth it!

Convenient and Genuinely Informative Tour of One of the Most Beautiful Cities you could imagine. - From a perfectly timed pick-up and a nice morning chat on our way to the train station, I was guided onto the train from Tashkent and off to Samarkand.
From there, Delia recognised me and took us to our first stop - of wonder after wonder. She gave interesting and in-depth history while helping to take some nice photos every now and then.
Every place we stopped was memorable and worthwhile. Samarkand is an incredible place.
Fantastic meal at a beautiful place, enough time for everything listed and more, with enough time for an stress-free ride back to the train station.
Mirzo recognised me at the station back in Tashkent and as it was off-season, not too out of the way, and he had time - he dropped me back at the place I’m staying instead of back at the nearest Hotel listed (which was the Hotel Uzbekistan, an hour’s walk away) …
I would highly recommend this as surely the most convenient and most educational way to see Samarkand in a day. I wouldn’t have been able to see half of the places had I not been on this tour, and they were all unforgettable.

Excellent tour of Samarkhand due to excellent guide - I had a great visit to Samarkhand because of the excellent services of my tour guide Ms Dilfuza. She did her job in a very professional manner, demonstrating her knowledge of the ancient city and her great experience in showing tourists around. I highly recommend her services to any tourist visiting Samarkhand.

Exceptional Guide in Samarkand - Dilfuza made our Samarkand day trip absolutely unforgettable. Everything was perfectly on time and the entire day flowed smoothly without ever feeling rushed. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and shares fun facts and stories with such ease, adding so much colour and flavour to a place already rich with history.
She was punctual, kind, patient, and very friendly throughout the day. The places we visited were beautifully selected, and lunch was wonderful. Her storytelling truly brought Samarkand to life.
I would highly recommend Dilfuza to anyone visiting - she made our experience exceptional.

You must visit Samarkand - Samarkand shouldn't be missed. Wonderful dive into the rich islamic history. The tour guide, Aziza, was very impressive.
Door to door.
Early booking is a must as high speed train tickets are limited and I had to settle with a slower train option.

One day in samarkand - We had an amazing day at Samarkand and every thing was smooth, I think Samarkand needs least 2 days to cover all the places.
