Great guided tour in Samarkand

5.00Recently we have enjoyed the great services of Samaria Travel: a transfer from the train station to the hotel and a guided tour of Samarkand. Throughout, Lochim has kept us informed. As for our guide, Nadir, he has a great level of Spanish, made our visit extremely enjoyable and dedicated more hours than planned, while giving us advice for the next day. In short, a highly recommended experience
Pricey but very good tour content

4.00We enjoyed our trip with the very friendly and knowledgeable Zainab and a car and driver. But I feel it was overpriced (more than double the cost of a similar trip in Bokhara with no car) although I am not sure of the entry tickets' contribution. A little too much stopping for shopping for me but my partner was happy with that, and almost every place one visits in Uzbekistan is a tourist marketplace.
