It was indeed amazing and breathtaking day trip to Samarkand. The tour had been organized with strict respect of time and we really enjoyed every minute of it. During the trip I had forgotten my wallet with cash and cards in a car in Tashkent. I was timely reported and all my belongings were returned back to me upon arrival for which I am grateful and appreciate this support. The tour guide Maryam gave beautiful historical accounts on Amir Timur, Mirzo Ulugbek and many other historic persons. I highly recommend this particular company to deal with whenever you decide to take a trip.
Long planned trip to Samarkand. The offers are many, chose Anur tour - and were very satisfied. Wonderful tour, Samarkand has a lot of fun. The organization is excellent - transfer from the hotel, train tickets, excursions - the experience is the best.
I’ve been a client of Anur tour company since 2017, for almost 7 years. Every time I visit Uzbekistan, this company makes my trip unforgettable. Even from welcoming in the airport till tours over the country, everything is on a very high level of service. I want to thank all the staff, especially Mr. Mumin, for their hospitality, professionalism and excellent service. This time I was planning to visit Samarkand, and the tour - One day in Samarkand from Anur tour - was the best decision. Thanks to Mr.Norbek, whose intelligence, knowledge and experience made this trip perfect.
"I was amazed at how perfectly everything was organized. The driver arrived in a luxurious van with air conditioning and even opened the doors, making you feel like royalty! The train to Samarkand impressed with its modernity and excellent service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a driver and a guide, Askar, a wonderfully pleasant person with a wealth of knowledge, who narrated everything with captivating interest. His explanations were precise and fascinating! This tour felt like a journey into a fairy tale! Everything was top-notch, and the guide was simply delightful."
One of the best tour operators I have ever used. Their tours are top notch and everything was handled with the finest of details. Zukhra who works in the office is truly a workaholic who checks her messages as early as 4am and as late as 11pm. Irina is an outstanding tour guide in Samarkand, and Ksenia is an excellent tour guide in Tashkent. If you are planning a trip to Uzbekistan, I absolutely recommend this company. Their website is anurtour.com

Anur tour provided good transportation service and good hotel recommendations. The guide provided to us in Samarkhand mr Firdaus was very knowledgeable and covered everything that we wanted. The bus driver mr Jamil was also very good and recommended good places to eat. Overall we are very happy with the service. They were patient with our group which had children and elderly parents on wheelchairs. We would use Anur tour again in the future
