Private Day Trip to Shakhrisabz from Samarkand

Shakhrisabz is a small town famous for being the birthplace of Tamerlane. Unfortunately, tourism is not yet very developed and, consequently, the places to visit are rather limited. Despite this, it is definitely worth taking this tour, especially for the splendid landscapes that you encounter along the way. Our driver was really very kind and helpful, even though he did not speak English. The organization of Jahongir, the tour operator that managed the excursion, was also impeccable, especially considering that we had booked at the last minute. A pleasant experience, well organized and one that I recommend especially for the trip through the landscapes of Uzbekistan.

Could have been a nice day-trip from Samarkand with beautiful historical sites and a nice drive through the countryside/mountains. However, our driver guide was rather offensive making multiple derogatory comments toward LGBTQ+ individuals. I recognize Uzbekistan is a conservative country but I don't need my guide volunteering his rather offensive political views about western society. As we simply didn't want to endure his continuous social/political commentary, we asked to skip the lunch stop and simply had him drop us off at a restaurant as soon as we arrived back in Samarkand.

Interesting trip, important part of our Usbekistan tour. We really enjoyed seeing the birthplace of Emir Timur.

It was a very good tour. The drivers were very kind, I enjoyed the scenery along the way and the Shahrisabs was also worth seeing. "For lunch restaurants, Mr. Driver put forward two possible locations and said, "You can have Tandir either way,"" but in fact, our restaurant of choice didn't have a Tandir menu." It was a good local restaurant, but that was disappointing. I'd like you to update your driver's information.

Our driver (I'm really sorry as I can't recall his name) was very professional and gave us lots of history on the sites visited, and also pointed out interesting facts along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, and the views of the mountains were beautiful. A point to note however, in the description it states that there are 2 additional payments of 21000 som, however this wasn't the case as there were 3 payment points, each were 40000 per person, which increases the cost considerably!

I booked this trip incredibly last minute when my planning gave me a free day. I was connected immediately to a wonderful tour guide called Umida and an amazing driver called Ilkhom - an hour after I booked them, they were in front of my hotel!! Amazing service. The drive to Shahrisabz was beautiful - the mountains and the scenery was so different from what I had seen in Uzbekistan before. Umida is a fountain of knowledge! Don’t hesitate and book this trip - you won’t regret it.

Deep historical tour with tons of detailed history about Amir Temur. Guide knew loads of information and was happy to share. He also took us to a local fair with beautiful views that was the highlight for my 6 year old son. Very kind and informed guide. Do this tour if you like detailed history of Amir Temur.

Great day. Recommend this !!!

Great guide and driver. Sering how people lived out of the city. Rich history and great food. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Samarkand.

Perfectly organized tour to Shahrisabz - chill yet informative and rich. My guide, Zarshed was super friendly and knowledgeable. Would book with them again 👍👍
