Nothing in particular. The girl was very nice and prepared. Definitely positive experience. To be recommended
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.
Punctual, very informative! Good Price quality ratio to discover all points of interest in one day
We got good experience and memory thanks to great guide. He has a lot of knowledge and conducted us efficiently within limited time schedule. I can recommend him to everyone because of his competency.
A thousand thanks to our guide from Uzbekistan, Zkhonikulov 1970, we, 4 friends from Granada, (we traveled in a Senior World group). We had the most fantastic and best local guide, "best impossible". We enjoyed and got to know its World Heritage cities, thanks to the deep knowledge of its country, people, customs..., We even participated, integrated with people and danced in the spice festival in Bukhara. Abdulla, as he told us to call him, is cultured, helpful, respectful, flexible, very knowledgeable of our customs, was motivated by getting closer to the knowledge of his land. He handled the group masterfully. Thanks to him we enjoyed an unforgettable trip. Our gratitude and always, Zjonikulov 1970!!! Fully recommended, 1000x100
That is a fantastic way to see the Samarkand attractions and learn the history of them. I would recommend doing this tour upon arrival. It is an extensive tour so there isn't time to go inside all of the buildings so it's a great overview, you can then choose which ones you would like to return to. I would highly recommend this tour.
If I could give this a 4.5 that would be my real rating (the small quibbles are described - but none are deal-breakers). This was a strong guided tour at a very reasonable price. Elyor arrived slightly late, but he was polite with a strong knowledge of Samarkand and its history. He was also fine on giving me, a solo traveler, the full group tour (it did take less time than it would have in a group, but that is natural). Elyor's English is clear with a slight accent, infrequently but sometimes I had slight difficulty understanding him. The sites on the tour were fascinating and you got a good overview of Samarkand in half a day.

I was very fortunate to have Elyor as a guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and speaks good English. Incredible value and a very memorable experience, Elyor really made the sights come to life!
Elyor provided an excellent service , despite our somewhat tardy arrival at the rendezvous he was waiting patiently in -4°C temperature. We were then treated to an informative and fascinating 5 hour trip through the history of Samarkand as we visited the main sites of the City. Well worth the time spent, thoroughly recommended.
