I 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!

My mom and I opted for private tour in Bukhara and Samarkand. In Bukhara Bekruza was lovely, she’s fluent in English and was very informative an engaging. In Samarkand Amin picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off. He was very kind and informative as well. Overall both tours were really worth it and they were so passionate about their work

We were in town for a very busy conference and needed a good break on the weekend - and Amin provided that. We didn’t have to think about anything - he provided a lovely day filled with history and knowledge and I can’t recommend him highly enough!

We spent a fantastic 6 hours with Amin hearing all about the wonderful rich history of Samarkand and Uzbekistan. He took us to all the main sites of interest and was very knowledgeable about the city, the country, the history and the culture. He also had a fantastic sense of humour and a good singing voice! I would highly recommend his services to anyone wanting to see Uzbekistan.
