Engaging tour of Samarkand

Our guide, Islom, had a wealth of knowledge on the rich history of Samarkand and the history of the empires along the Silk Road. We learnt a lot while walking through ancient sites that he showed a lot of respect for. He went above and beyond, following us to a nearby museum to continue the stories and lessons. He is truly a gem for history buffs and anyone looking to learn more about this wonderful city. He answered all our questions patiently as well. We highly recommend Islom, and thank him for a truly eye-opening tour!

Rich and insightful Samarkand tour

Adam has been an excellent guide through Samarkand, giving us both historical and artistical insights abouth the story of the city and its great inhabitants, such as Amir Temur. He has been really good in adapting our time needs to the tour.

Good Tour

Schoch was a good guide full of knowledge and i enjoyed the tour a lot. Organization was a bit unusual "the guide will find you at the meeting point" but after a while it worked. However i would suggest to exchange contact details beforehand.
