Rushana was our guide and she was very kind and knowledgable. She was very energetic and introduced us about the history - Having a guide in such a historical city is a must. Without our guide , we wouldnt know much about the city and its historical buildings.

Excelent Short Walking Tour in Samarkand - We took a short walking tour in Samarkand with Tranquil Holidays in June. Akramanov was our Guide and he was very fluent in English and super Knowledgable. The tour has around 2-3 hours of walking around the main touristic spots in Samarkand. Good tour for the price.
