5.00I am writing this with a heart full of gratitude to highly recommend my guide, Madaminjon. He is a true expert in history, incredibly witty, and pays meticulous attention to every detail of his guests' needs. Throughout my trip, he went above and beyond to help me resolve several unexpected challenges smoothly. Quite simply, Madaminjon is the benchmark for what a private guide should be—truly impeccable. If you are a history buff looking to deeply experience the intersection of ancient and modern culture in Samarkand, the Pearl of the Old Silk Road, he is undoubtedly your best choice!
