5.00The tour was simply fantastic. Amin is a sensational guide and an even better photographer. It was very flexible with the start of the tour and tour duration was longer than planned. Besides, he was very kind all the time and still took me to a local restaurant. I highly recommend the tour and would do a thousand times if returned to Samarcanda.
This experience with Amin...

5.00Very nice and comfortable way to visit all the sights of Samarkand. We had a very clean new and comfortable car, were always dropped off at the entrance and picked up again. The guide spoke good English and knew a lot to tell. Highly recommended.

5.00Otabek was such a wonderful guide and it made our tour so special. He had so much knowledge about history there was no question he couldn’t answer. Just amazing. The private tour lasted 9 hours and covered all the key places in Smarkand. It was not rushed and we could see things at our own pace. The local restaurant where we had lunch had the best plov. I totally recommend this tour. Great value for money.
Great day with Amin in Samarkand

5.00A brilliant day with Amin. His narrative brings Samarkand and its fabulous sites and history to life. His English is excellent. He also does a brilliant job of photographing his clients with the sites. I am arranging for another outing with him. Here for a conference and happy to have found him for the days free before and after. Price: very good value, in my opinion. He can do tours beyond Samarkand too.
Totally recommend
