The whole "tour" consists in a Russian speaking taxi driver coming to pick you up from your hotel and driving you to Shahrisabz. You can find something WAY cheaper just stopping a taxi driver in Samarkand by yourself. We were supposed to have a tour in English and all we got was this old guy who did not understand a word. Avoid this!

I’ve tried several times to write this review, but due to some glitches didn’t save so I hope this one gets through. I had a guide and a driver, 2 very nice young men, sorry names are always a problem for me. Their English was very good but were keen to learn more. Very knowledgeable, and @ the Museum we had a museum guide joining us as well. Tashkent is still not as crowded as the European countries, quite green as well. I also enjoyed very much being a 2 way conversation, I was born and raised in a Communist country, so we compared the political and economical aspects and they don’t deny their country’s past with good & bad of course. Loved Tashkent, even tourism is still quite a new thing. I had a bad experience getting in Tashkent, having arrived like 2:30 am at the hotel and they didn’t not have a room for me. I was directed to another hotel that was more like a hostel and I was very cold and didn’t sleep for more than 24 hrs. Going on a full day tour didn’t seem like a great idea, but the arrangements were made. These young men really made my day. They took me to my new hotel at 5 pm and made sure that all is ok this time. Can’t thank them enough. ????

My tour of Bukhara was the highlight of my trip to Uzbekistan. My guide, Lola, was arguably the best tour guide I’ve had the pleasure to sightsee with. She had an exceptional knowledge of the history and landmarks and her enthusiasm of the subject matter was infectious. She tailored the tour to my interest and was extremely patient as I nerded out taking photographs. I so enjoyed my day with her and hope to get her as a guide again on my next trip to Uzbekistan. The tour was effortless with hotel pick up and drop off. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Well worth it!!

One of the main reasons to visit the Shahrisabz is to see the mountain pass and the rural area of Uzbekistan. The road starts with the vineyards, fruit trees, vegetables and son. Slowly the elevation will change and the fields will be replaced by hills and eventually by Rocky Mountains. The “Teshik Tosh” or “Rock with the Hole” is the first stop to explore the incredible work made by mother nature. The legendary movie “Apachen” starring the famous Gojko Mitic was shot at the same location because of the resemblance with the American Southwest prairie.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle
