4.00Our round trip both use regular train instead of bullet train and no refund received for the price difference. In addition, when we arrived Tashkent at midnight, no transport arranged. When we call taxi by ourselves and reached the hotel at around 00:15, we received the call from driver and I told him I had reached the hotel by my own. They should informed us the meeting point before the train reached Tashkent. The arrangement is not good for the above-mentioned 2 points. Here I thanks to the local guide and the driver in Sammkind for their professional services and we really enjoyed the trip.

5.00This tour was planned and executed impeccably each pick up and drop off was seamless and timed perfectly....as for Samarkand it's pure magic....it's simply unforgettable and it's not enough to simplify walk the streets and enjoy the sights it's learning about it's rich history that makes it all worthwhile. I was lucky to have a great guide Abdullah who's born and raised in Samarkand and expertly educated in it's history... exploring this magical place with him was like going back in time and truly experiencing that long gone by era all over again....this tour is a can't miss!

5.00This is a comprehensive trip that illustrates the main historical points of Samarkand. The tour guide Aziz was very friendly and informative of the main monuments. Registan is certainly amazing for its unique architecture. The trip is well organised with a pick up and drop off at the train station back to accommodation. The high speed modern train takes approximately 2 hours from Tashkent to Samarkand with lots of scenery.
