Fantastic walking tour

Sitora was an excellent guide for me and my wife. Really informative and very knowledgeable. She was very engaging in cultural life about uzbekistan. Very good pace and would recommend her for a true and real feel of samarkand.

Wow! Best tour I’ve been on!

Sitora is literally the best guide I’ve ever had (and this is my 40th country and I’ve been on a LOT of free walking tours). She is so funny, well-spoken and candid! Also, the photos she took for me are INCREDIBLE! She’s legit a skilled photographer and I can’t believe I got those photos from a free walking tour! The tour didn’t feel long at all! Sitora was hilarious, patient and kind, and was a fountain of knowledge. I cannot recommend this tour enough! If you only do one tour in Uzbekistan, make sure if’s with Sitora!!!

The best tour I've ever had

Honestly just had the best tour with Sitora! We saw a lot of beautiful sights, and Sitora was very knowledgeable and engaging when explaining the history and meaning behind certain thing. The pacing was great, and the atmosphere was lovely. Samarkand feels very safe. We were two solo female travellers on the tour today. Sitora made it a very memorable experience and I am extremely grateful to her. If you only have time for one tour in Samarkand, it should be this one!!!

Best introduction to Samarkand

I had a great time on this tour. Sitora is very knowledgeable and was very open to questions. I couldn't have asked for a better guide. Thanks!

Best guide in Samarkand!

Sitora was the best guide we could have asked for, she shared with us so much interesting information about the city including the lesser known things and things about the culture of living in the city. Thank you sitora :)
