Extremely unprofessional
I booked the tour six weeks in advance, but on the day they never showed up and didn’t respond to messages. Definitely not worth booking with this company.

Tour the land of Timurudes-Uzbeks-Turks-Iranian with Sevinch, a happy tour guide
I came to Uzbekistan without much planning. But to my surprise, the tour team crafted a beautiful itinerary for one day in Samarkand. As a solo traveller, I was so happy to be accompanied by such happier & beautiful people starting from the tour guide, my taxi driver, the tour manager. This part of the world has surprised me in my first visit. The tour guide showed us around with enthusiasm & ease without rushing. We exchanged our journeys over a local lunch set-up that has been the highlight of this tour. This is a personal record coming from a solo traveller.Insightful! Happy! Delightful!

magnifique résidence
Résidence de Fazulla Khodjaev à Boukhara.Très belle maison qui vaut une visite. Cette résidence de Fazulla Khodjaev est très prisée des Ouzbeks: c'est le lieu de prédilection des futurs mariés qui vont se faire photographier dans ce merveilleux décor. Vous pourrez donc sûrement y apercevoir de jeunes couples poser devant un photographe pour immortaliser leur amour.Admirer l'élégance des salles.

Very well organised
Excellent one day trip. It's a long day but well worth it. The guide was very knowledgeable and paced the day well. Great lunch too.

Grandiose
Rien que le nom est déjà synonyme d'enchantement! Arriver de nuit, et passer tout de suite sur l'esplanade illuminée du Registan, le site magnifique de la ville où ont été bâties les trois madrassas (écoles coraniques) de la ville. (Gardez votre ticket d'entrée, valable pour toute la journée, si vous souhaitez faire une visite supplémentaire en fin de journée quand la lumière est très belle.)Comptez trois heures au moins pour la visite.

Great opportunity to explore the mountains
Great views and tour for the family away from the city. Also the cooler climate during the summer was very enjoyable. We even managed to jet sky in the lake.

A really great city tour through parts and history of Tashkent
The agency and the guide were very flexible and gone an "extra mile" in adapting to my needs.The tour was great (despite the heat :D). It included traditional parts - visit to traditional cultural place with mosques and a museum; afterwards we visited a great "4-roads" bazaar and what an experience that was! Guide's explanation gave it an additional touch and a local "scent"!We concluded with a walk throught the recently built modern city centre with the cherry on the cake - a lunch treat at a restaurant with national dishes.Guide's recommendation for the food was right on the spot!Really a pleasant experience to spend your time in Tashkent and get a glimpse of it when you have a day off in Tashkent and then a night flight back.Strongly recommend this one - GOTOUZBEKISTAN!

SAMARKAND IS SAMARKAND.
Samarkand | Silk Roads ProgrammedSamarkand has long been a central point for trade across the region, and was a substantial city renowned for its craft production, with a citadel and strong fortifications, several centuries before it was conquered by Alexander in 329 BC.
