    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — An Unforgettable Village Experience Yesterday my family and I spent a wonderful day in the village, and it’s an experience we will always remember. The atmosphere was peaceful, authentic, and full of warmth. We felt welcomed from the very first moment. The highlight of our visit was the plov cooking class. It was absolutely marvelous! We learned each step of preparing traditional plov, from selecting the ingredients to cooking it slowly over the fire. The hosts explained everything with such patience and love that the process became not only educational but also incredibly fun. When the plov was finally ready, the taste was simply unforgettable — rich, fragrant, and truly homemade. Sharing this meal with my family in the fresh village air made the moment even more special. If you’re looking for a genuine cultural experience, delicious food, and warm hospitality, this village visit is the perfect choice. We enjoyed every minute of it!

    Overall amazing Samarkand local life experience! It was a fantastic experience started with an on-time pick-up from our hotel in Samarkand (the host drove all the way from his village, around 1-hr drive) and we were welcomed with a true smile and a full guide on Samarkand city while driving to the village, great information and facts, stories and traditional connections discovered. when we arrived to the village house, the family embraced us with smile and warm welcome .. had a quick tour on the sections of the house and the farm. That was followed with a nice, beautiful arrangement of delights. the cooking class led by the both the mother and the son was very rich and we felt really home. the Pilaf was sooo delicious and we all loved it ... we had the lunch along with the family and enjoyed the conversations and how cultures talk to each other and connect. i would like to thank you on behalf of my family for all the warm welcome and the cooking class. Thank you for driving us back to our hotel all that way. Everything was just perfect. We will repeat it again ... and the price is nothing compared to what you get out of such amazing experience...
