Tour for 3 people in Samarkand - The tour went off perfectly, from pick up to drop off. Communication thru what’s app made it easy. Our guide showed us all around the beautiful sites and spent time in quiet locations to explain the buildings, away from the crowds. Our lunch was a delicious local establishment. Highly recommended

Magical visit, perfectly organised - The actual visit to Samarkand was amazing. Such incredible history and beauty and culture rolled into a one day trip. A real privilege to have visited this magical place. But what really stood out was the tour organisers. Everything was very well organised and they really went above and beyond for the group. I definitely recommend this tour!

Would do it again! - Highly recommend! Mira was an excellent guide, and everything was well organized from start to finish. Hotel transfers, high-speed rail tickets, the tour, and lunch were all handled smoothly. Communication via WhatsApp was quick and convenient. It's a long day, but the comfortable train ride makes it very manageable.

One of the best tour I've taken. - This tour was very organized. From the hotel pickup, train station, arriving in Bukhara, taking the train back and the ride back to the hotel. The tour manager Izzat is very responsive and provided detail explanations. When we got to Bukhara, our tour guide was Dilfuza. She was the epitome of what a great tour guide is. She ensured to explain every historically significant sites even when we were driving by. From my understanding she is a professor at a university. Her knowledge of history and culture was immense. I truly enjoyed every second with her that the tour felt so short. She made sure we see everything and try certain Bukhara style food which made the tour felt like a day tour + food tour. The only request I had was to visit a souvenir shop and she delivered. She took us to prestigious artists shops that was worth spending money for. This tour operation was so smooth, amazing tour guide and completly stress free.

Same-day cancellation - Even at the morning meeting time on the day, they didn't come to pick me up. The phone won't connect at all. And finally, after more than an hour Canceled by email Refund and that's it... The trip was wasted. I wrote a review, so I'm posting it about something that happened a little while ago.
