Our tour with Madamin was one of the highlights of our trip to Uzbekistan. He is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, funny, and passionate about Samarkand. He brought the history of this beautiful city to life and made the whole experience feel personal and unforgettable.
By the end of the tour, it felt like we had spent the day with a local friend rather than just a guide.
If you visit Samarkand, definitely book with Madamin — highly recommended! ❤️🇺🇿

Great tour experience
My apologies for writing this review so late!
This mix-up was completely our fault. We had accidentally booked the same walking tour we had taken the day before, just with a different company. When Usman met us, we immediately realized our mistake and asked if he would mind taking us to just one site instead—the Ulugh Beg Observatory.
He couldn't have been more accommodating. He went to pick up his car, drove us to the observatory, and along the way kept suggesting wonderful places to visit. What started as a simple trip turned into a fantastic tour of both the old and new parts of the city, filled with fascinating historical and cultural insights.
When we mentioned that we were interested in Uzbek carpets, he also recommended the Silk Carpets Factory and waited while we were choosing a carpet. By the time we finished, it was almost 5 p.m.
His willingness to spend the entire day with us, adapt the tour to our interests, and share genuine Uzbek hospitality was the highlight of our day. Thank you so much, Usman, for turning our mistake into one of our favorite experiences in Uzbekistan!

Dreadful Service
The tour was cancelled by the operator so late we were already at the meet up spot.
Dreadful service, wont use Viator again.
Now I am having to wait for my refund. Looks like it will take a while.

Nice accessible tour
We booked the private tour with inside visits. My mother has accessibility issues, she can't do too much walking and has trouble with stairs. Our guide was very helpful about this, trying to find wheelchairs or ramps whenever possible. She had to skip the mausoleum visit due to the number of stairs, but the other two of us visited while she waited safely in the car.

True to the name of the tour! Samarkand in a day
Lazees is a highly experienced guide in Central Asia and is fluent in English. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
He showed us around more sights than those in the itinerary. He explained the history, the designs, the architecture and the inscriptions, taking time at each place and not rushing us. Also he took us to an amazing restaurant with vegetarian options.
Overall, I'd highly recommend booking with them.

Wonderful tour of Samarkand
We had a wonderful and educational tour of Old Samarkand, beginning at the Amir Timur statue, continuing through the magnificent Registan Square, and finishing at the beautiful Shakh Zinda necropolis. Our guide, Amin, was a natural storyteller with a great sense of humor—engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing his city’s history. He wove together fascinating tales about Amir Timur and his wives, the evolution of Uzbekistan as a nation, and the stories behind the Bibikhanum Mosque and other landmarks. It seemed as though everyone in Samarkand knew him from the friendly greetings along the way! We also loved sampling dried fruits and other local treats at the lively Siyab Bazaar. The walking tour was well-paced and full of memorable moments. Highly recommended!
