サマルカンドからタジキスタンへのツアー：七つの湖

The trip was excellent! Our tour guide, Yusuf, was knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. Our driver was experienced and drove very carefully, especially through the challenging mountain terrain. It was a wonderful trip made even more special by the beautiful people we met along the way. Truly a memorable experience and well worth it

Great tour, Joseph on the Tajikistan side was amazing too, he is 17 and is talented in English. Very knowledgeable. Our driver too was lovely making sure we felt safe on the slightly (very) bumpy road up to the lakes. Both of them deserve a promotion! On the Uzbek side, super helpful, Fayoziddin was very helpful and accomodated all our needs. The lakes are great, worth the visit for the day from Samarkand, and the contrast between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan is very interesting and quite humbling so it’s a great day and new experience.

We had a fabulous time on this trip. Very good communication regarding pick up details etc. Our driver and our guide Yosef were outstanding, the seven lakes and mountain scenery is incredible. I would recommend.

The lakes are gorgeous and provided lots of amazing photo opportunities! It's well worth the price to see this area of the world. Our guide, Yusuf, was very friendly and charming. He spoke excellent English and answered all of my questions about the locations and Tajikistan in general. He helped us select delicious foods from the market for a nice picnic and was very accommodating in general. A large part of the drive in Tajikistan is on unpaved roads which could be quite bumpy so be warned if that's too much for you. But our driver was very competent and I felt completely safe with him.

★★★★★ An exceptional day in Tajikistan! We spent an absolutely magnificent day in Tajikistan, with breathtaking landscapes and a real sense of adventure. It is without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Uzbekistan. A huge thank you to Yusufjon, our guide, for his kindness, his good humor, his explanations, and his attention throughout the day. He really contributed to making this experience special. Thanks also to Ilhom aka, our driver, for his very reassuring driving and his kindness. We loved discovering Tajikistan, its mountains, its lakes, and its incredible landscapes. An experience that we really recommend to anyone who wishes to get off the beaten path and discover another facet of this magnificent region. Thanks again to Yusufjon and Ilhom aka for this superb day! ❤️

Quite a long and tiring day I would say but still a good experience. Need to be more organized and requires more information.

Beautiful places! However, the drivers between the countries are very bad. They drive too fast, they make dangerous overtakes, making the experience bad. In the programming it said there would be a picnic, there wasn't.

Overall a good experience and probably the best value for an organized day tour into Tajikistan from Samarkand. You can stop at as many of the lakes as your group agrees on, the guides are flexible and easy going. At the last lake we had a picnic and the opportunity to swim. There wasn't any hiking and only minimal walking, so expect lots of driving and getting out of the van to take pictures at each lake. I would have preferred more hiking / less driving but the time is pretty limited in a single day and I think it would be challenging to fit into any itinerary. Also keep in mind that no food or water is included - it is best to bring your own / see if your hotel offers a packed breakfast to take along. You won't need to change much money, maximum $5-10 USD. The local market stop is not geared towards tourists, which is great overall, but you won't find magnets etc to purchase.

The Seven Lakes were all quite beautiful, but they are not easy to get to. The road is narrow, gravel, rough, and pretty windy, so be cautious if you are someone prone to carsickness. Also, this was not “8-10 hours;” from pickup to drop-off was 14 hours total, so keep that in mind if you have any hard times in the evening.

A beautiful visit that breaks up the tone of the classic Uzbekistan tour a bit, which is more oriented toward the beautiful madrasas and mausoleums. An exceptional guide who truly made us feel the hospitality and warmth of his people. The only downside was the instructions for crossing the border: providing some guidance before the crossing where one is not guided would be useful.
