Zeven Meren Tadzjikistan : All-inclusive dagtour

If you’re visiting Tajikistan, the Seven Lakes tour is an absolute must. The scenery is beyond breathtaking—each lake has its own unique color, and the drive through the mountains is just as spectacular as the destination itself. A huge thank you to our driver, who navigated the winding mountain roads with incredible skill and made us feel safe the entire journey. And the highlight of the day was our guide, Usman. His energy, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm made the experience so much more memorable. By the end of the tour, he felt more like a friend than a guide. This was easily one of the most unforgettable days of our Central Asia trip. I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly!

This was a day I’ll never forget. I highly recommend this as a day trip from Samarkand - it’s such a unique opportunity to get a glimpse of Tajikistan without planning a separate trip. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and it was fascinating to experience everyday local life at the bazaar, one of the most authentic markets I’ve ever visited. My guide, Usman, truly went above and beyond to make sure I had an unforgettable experience. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind, caring, and fun to spend the day with. In addition to visiting the lakes and the market, he made several extra stops along the way, including the chance to try some local beer. After the tour, he took me to one of his favorite restaurants with live music, and the next day he even accompanied me to the train station to make sure everything went smoothly. It’s rare to find a guide who genuinely cares this much about his guests. By the end of the experience, it felt less like I had spent the day with a guide and more like I had made a new friend. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough.

We had Usman as a guide during our tour. He was very friendly and helped us with everything. I’ll definetly recommend this tour.

We had a very nice trip from Samarkand across the border to Tajikistan. Giyos, our guide, picked us up at the hotel, and we immediately started a conversation; he was very friendly and helpful. We were perfectly accompanied throughout the entire day, including customs formalities, authentic market life in Tajikistan, and then the 7 lakes with their wonderful impressions. The information that Giyos provided us, as well as the picnic and drinks. In Tajikistan, a colleague took over the driving and safely brought us there and back. We were completely satisfied with our trip and say THANK YOU. 🥰 We can highly recommend TourGo in general and this tour in particular.

A great experience on our trip to the seven lakes, first the opportunity to get to know a new country, especially one as distant and enigmatic as Tajikistan. The seven lakes and the mountains are beautiful, with the best views you can appreciate in many years, and the opportunity to observe the life of those communities, which, by the way, has improved in their standard of living thanks to tourism and mining. The guide Amin is well-prepared and eager to share all his knowledge with pleasure and generosity. The trip is definitely worth it.

If you want to go on a tour to the Seven Lakes from Samarkand, I'm sure this is the best way to do It. Amin is an excelent Guide: he speeks very good english, has very good knowledge of Uzbeq,Tadiq and Central Asia culture and history and has very good sense of humor. At first, I was a bit afraid of doing this trip because of the road (I have motion sickness and I am a bit afraid of mountain roads). But my husband wanted very much to visit Tadiquistan from Samarkand. So I researched a lot of the reviews ( in TripAdvisor , Viator etc), and this was the only tour that had only good reviews. The difference from other tours is that: 1. We left early ( Amin arranged for us to leave earlier - at 6:30/6:45). So we didn't get any line in the border crossing ( maybe we had a lucky day as well). 2. Amin crossed the border with us ( which made us feel very secure on the border, all went very smoothly). 3. Some tours have only the driver in the Tadiq mountains side ( who generaly does'nt speek english), but Amin, our guide, was with us the whole time, which made the whole experiencie very agreable and easy. 4. The driver was excelente! He is very experiencied, drives very well and was never in a rush, always carefull with the road, which made us feel very secure ( some vans on front of us seamed to be a bit too fast sometimes..). 5. We had a very good lunch after the mountains. 6. Last, but not least, it is a tour for small groups. We wanted to meet other travellers to change experiences, but not in a very big group ( we saw some vans packed of travellers ). If you have motion sickness, take some medicine and you will be fine. I'm m very glad we chose this tour. It's a beautiful scenary and a very enjoyable tour! Thank you Amin!

Gorgeous place! Gyos was a great guide, thank you!

Usmam was a fantastic tour guide who taught us a lot about the culture and lake and history. The trip was long so brace yourself for the driving but it was fun and well worth the day trip out to nature :)

Pretty good. The guide is friendly. It was just that, on the way there were a few lakes back to see, and as a result seven lakes forgot one lake, and it was beautiful. The first one, which had been driven, was fortunately discovered by a man in the same group. She turned back to take pictures after repeated requests.

We had an amazing trip with Usman and our lovely driver. Highly recommend as a day tour from Samarkand. Beautiful scenery and Usman was very knowledgeable about the history and facts of the region. The seven lakes were beautiful and very remote. Thanks from Scotland!!!
