Highly recommend 7 lakes tour!
A wonderful lasting impression of Tajikistan by a wonderful guide, Dodo and driver, Fairou.
They both made me feel comfortable and welcome in their country. Fairou is a very safe driver in Tajikistan and Dodo is wonderful, professional, and courteous tour guide.
I had the best time and saw the spectacular and beautiful 7 lakes of Tajikistan!
Thanks Dodo from Nastasya!

10/10 Tour!
Our guide in Samarkand was Amin and he was amazing! His English was excellent and he knew a lot about the history of Uzbekistan. He showed us so many hidden gems we would have never found ourselves. The tour was so interesting and fun, time flew by. Amin was beyond our expectations. Very nice!

Exceptional tour with great guide Dodo!
Absolutely loved this tour. The organisation was brilliant and they kept in regular contact. The lakes are gorgeous and you really get a sense of Tajikistan and its people. Our driver Ali and our guide Dodo in Tajikistan were exceptional. Dodo was incredibly friendly, kind and knowledgeable and made the tour 10/10. Would highly highly recommend!

Wonderful day.
We had a wonderful experience from start to finish.
Dilshod picked us up on our hotel well on time and he even message us before he turn up at the hotel which is very good of him. Then he drive us to the border for the immigration formalities. We encounter a small problem due to having Filipino passport and the immigration officer on Tajik side wont let my friend pass. Good thing we have the number of Mr Murad and called him, and he talked to the immigration officer and he said that we are genuine tourist and he always bring tourist from different countries everyday to Tajikistan for the 7 lakes tour.
After some conversation the immigration officer let my friend go.
On the Tajik side miss Dilo is patiently waiting for us and the rest of our group.
We started the tour going to Panjakent bazaar and then proceed to the 7 lakes.
Which is very beautiful and breath of fresh air from all the elaborates and intricate architecture of Samarkand.
All in all we had a fantastic time and this tour is highly recommended.
The organiser, the guide and mr Ali the driver look after us very well indeed.
After the tour they took us back to the border and Dilshod is there waiting for us and took us back to the hotel.
Thank you so much to all for the wonderful day.

Very peaceful and historical city
The tour is one of the best tours we experienced. The driver was super patient and stopped at the most picturesque spot for us to take in the mountainous landscape. He also found us one of most popular restaurant among locals for lunch with again a fabulous Mountain View.
Our guide is even more amazing. She and her students (who volunteered to join her to learn and English and culture) are very nice and inspiring young women, who explained with in-depth historical background and knowledge in every site we visited. We truly appreciate their warmth and kindness.
Shahrisabz is smaller than Samarkand, but it offers very quaint and authentic flavors of the history as well. Highly recommended!

Outstanding Tour of Tajikistan with an Exceptional Guide
I had an excellent tour of Tajikistan with an excellent guide. The guide, a young lady whose name I unfortunately cannot remember, was a tremendous ambassador for her country. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience truly memorable.
We visited all the main highlights on the tour, and the views were breathtaking throughout. From beginning to end, I had an excellent experience and would like to give the final word of praise to the guide, who was outstanding and a remarkable representative of her country.

Excellent tour, perfect to discover the beauty of Samarkand
Excellent city tour, very smooth and showing all the beauty of Samarkand. Our guide Samandar was excellent: great English and very knowledgeable about the city, country and monuments history. He has the right level of details and adapt to your pace. The full tour (if you chose to go through all 5 monuments / places) lasts about 6hrs, depending on how long you stay…and while entry tickets are additional as you wish to step inside each, every single one truly deserves it.

Best cultural tour in Samarkand
Olimjon was a first class guide. He speaks perfect English and planned the tour to perfection. It was well paced even though we visited many of the cultural sights in Samarkand. Olimjon has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Samarkand and quirky legends of the city too. He took the best pictures for us too and knows the best spots to take them. Highly recommended, 100%! Rakhmat, Olimjon!

Excellent tour
Two of us spent 6+ hour with Elyor to explore 4 places in Samarkand old town. Elyor is very patient waiting for us with 10 minutes late. He answered all our questions: history and current events, traditions and modern challenges, religions and political rules. Highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful day in Samarkand
Today I explored a lot of very interesting historical places in Samarkand via the Samarkand City Tour and I had a wonderful day thanks to my guide. With her deep knowledge about the places we visited and also knowledge about the history of the area in general with religion, culture, cuisine etc. she gave the tour life so to speak. I learnt a lot about the visited historical places, life in Samarkand, the life in Uzbekistan and the countries in the area, both during the historical centuries but also about today’s life in Samarkand, and the historical ties to ancient times. She gave me the whole picture of the area. Very well done!
