Reviews: A City Tour Of Samarkand: The Pearl Of The East
Guest User2026-02-25
I want to express my deepest gratitude to our guide, Laziz, for a fantastic tour of Samarkand! This wasn't just a standard tour, but a true historical immersion, full of vivid stories and discoveries. Laziz is not only a professional with deep knowledge, but also a passionate person who knows how to engage the entire group. His narrative is the perfect balance between proven facts and captivating legends that bring the ancient walls to life. We felt a connection between the centuries and the different cultures that have left their mark on Samarkand. I definitely recommend this tour and Laziz as a guide to anyone who wants not just to see, but to understand and feel the soul of ancient Samarkand.
Reviews: Tour From Samarkand To Tajikistan: Seven Lakes
Guest User2026-02-21
Fayoziddin was a professional and very responsible guy taking care of his guests well. He speaks fluent English and also an excellent storyteller explaning the history and the meaning of each lakes. It was an adventure where it is located deep inside countryside and most of in original state. For nature seekers, you will love the journey from the start towards the ends. At the border of Tajikistan, there will be an assigned driver waiting for you to pick you up. Akbar is a friendly Tajik, although we communicate with app translator. My small token of advice probably, if the tour can make a group WhatsApp between the guest, Tajik driver, Uzbek driver and lead tour guide so that there's no communication breakdown in between and essential updates through WhatsApp such which vehicle (plate number etc) will pick up the guest, so there's no confusion and illegal taxi drivers at the border gate can be totally ignored. But I would still take another trip with Fayoziddin if I'm returning back.
Reviews: Day Tour to Shahrisabz of Amir Timur
Guest User2024-09-09
Islom was a very good and attentive guide...brought us to some of the best lamb restaurant on our way to Shahrizadz...and later brought us to visit his home and meet his family....a first for us being in a local uzbek home...the famiky entertained us and even prepared awesome filaf dish and fresh fruits fron their farm..was a really nice and pleasant experience. We also met Isloms wife Sitora and his son Usman, as well as parents and his entire family members. We even had the opportunity to meet the newlyweds in Isloms family (Jasmina and Husabnd) and it was nice to see the cultural wedding dress worn by Jasmina which was elegant and splendid. Truly was an experience and the hospitality by the family was very nice.
Reviews: All-inclusive Daytrip to Seven Lakes and Panjakent from Samarkand
Guest User2024-05-21
This was a great day trip, I really enjoyed my time in Tajikistan, I was met by the company at the border without any difficulty. Our driver and guide were very helpful and the guide spoke pretty good English. We first went into Panjakent city, visiting the mosque and nearby bazaar, I really liked the bazaar, it was a different experience to those in Uzbekistan. We then travelled to the Seven lakes, the road got bumpier and dustier along the way. After 1.5 hours, we reached the first lake, the lakes are all accessible by road, except the seventh. We had time at each lake on the way up, we had a picnic lunch (because we were there during Ramadan) at a small village near the sixth lake, after lunch we drove further up the valley and hiked the last 400 metres to the seventh lake, which was still partially frozen. The lakes were stunning azure shades of blue and each lake has its own charm. After returning to Panjakent we visited Sarazm Archaeological site before returning to the Uzbek border. Overall the day was very enjoyable and everyone was very helpful and friendly, Tajikistan is a beautiful country and the seven lakes were well worth visiting, the day was a little long but not strenuous at all. Said was very helpful beforehand with particulars, arrangements and questions, I would recommend using his company.

We enjoyed this tour! Mr. Yusufjon, our driver, kindly stopped at scenic point and waited for us. Not only Shahrisabz but the scenery along the way was very beautiful! The cheese I bought at the market on the way is also good. We recommend this tour if you have time in Samarkand!
