5.00Our tour guide Dodo and his uncle is doing a great job, I had this tour with two others and I had a very great time in Tajikistan seven lake. Dodo’s English is very fluent, we communicate a lot and I can feel he is enjoying his job. I would highly recommend to visit this tour with Dodo. This tour is normally pick up at Samarkand hotel at 8am, and then you will arrive land border after an hour later, you have to walk and pass the border. Even I have visa for Tajikistan and I was stuck at the border for half hour, I was so lucky that my tour friends wait for me. (In case you have the same problem with me, no worry the tour guide shall wait for you, Ucell can receive a little bit signal) Seven lake scenery is super awesome! Although we couldn’t go to the seventh lake but sixth lake is good enough! Be prepared being “attacked” by those lovely kids, they are very friendly and welcoming!
