Brilliant young guide - from monuments to cooking your own plov !

We hired a guide, Bekjon, for 3 days to give us a tour of Samarkand and the environs. Really, he could not have been better. He is just finishing his degree and does the guides in high season, his studies in low season. he picked us up from the airport, he took us around the sites (wonderful sites !), he took us through the very complicated country history, he took us to Amir Timur's birthtown, via mountains and an amazing tandoor lamb, and he took us back to his house to meet his father, friend and nephew where we cooked plov! So friendly, so attuned to what we wanted and needed, one of the very best guides I have encountered. bekjonnosirov4218@icloud.com, whatsapp +998 94 357 42 18

Great Day Private Tour of Samarkand

Muhammed was amazing and he was very flexible with my friend and I. He was knowledgeable and had a good sense of the city and its history. He did not push us and let us decide our speed. Muhammed had good recommendations and was always accommodating. I highly suggest him as a tour guide for the day in Samarkand.

Overpriced

Alim was personable and informative throughout the tour. My group and I loved that he shared just the right amount of information without overwhelming us. We did not love that we had to pay for every entrance and meal after paying $65 each for the tour. To be clear our additional cost were about $30 each with entrances and food. Considering the $195 paid to Viator, we spent $285 as a group of 3 but the tour guide only received $50 total for the day. Booking directly with a local guide or arranging transportation and walking through the sites independently would have been much more cost effective.
