A very fun and informative tour - The tour was very comprehensive, you will learn a lot about the history, culture, and people of Samarkand. Highly recommend it to those who are coming to the city for only a day or two. You will get to see all the beautiful sites in one go.

Personalized and knowledgeable - Zarshed was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe and also was glad Zarshed was able to take some photos for memory keeping, especially since it's hard to do being by myself. I learned so much about Samarkand's fascinating and rich history. An added factor was my trip coincided with a high-level visit, but Zarshed was prepared and adjusted my tour so it wasn't disturbed by closed sites. He also sent me to the best palov restaurant in town- what a treat!
Yes, I did pay for each site separately, and I did pay extra as a solo traveler, rather than a group tour. I highly recommend it. We saw hoarders of other tours coming off buses, but I preferred having a tailored tour and less people to wait on. Just be prepared with spending cash ahead of time for the sites and market. Would recommend.

Samarkand Awesome Trip! - It was indeed awesome! me and my friends enjoyed our 03 Nights stay at Samarkand.
we love the Uzbekistan Hospitality, and the Food was awesome in every restaurant that we dined, especially all the BBQs and Kebabs!
it was also so convenient to go places to places.
We just didn't had time to travel to Tashkent from Samarkand cuz we missed to check our time and have enjoyed a lot in Samarkand.
i was just wondering, why all the mosques has Entrance Fees?, i mean we do understand that it is part of Tourist Spots/Destinations, however, as far as for my understanding and concerns, Mosques is a Holy place like Churches, therefore, there shouldn't have any entrance fees at all. All are welcome to enter..

A worthy Samarkand experience - Samarkand was beautiful and the well planned tour of Yousef and his team for city tour was a job well done. The tour guide Botir knew the city well and spoke great english! Registan and Shah-i-Zinda are must sees! We stayed for 4 days and Travel bliss assisted with most of the travels and areas we wanted to see. They were very helpful and friendly. They price their tours in dollars and prefer it to be paid in $.
