Review of the private Samarkand to Shahrisabz day trip, covering sights, guides, transport, costs, timing, and practical booking advice.
“Il posto è assolutamente da visitare (anche se ricostruito/ristrutturato per lo più) ma il prezzo è assolutamente troppo alto per l’attività.

Qualche informazione era anche inesatta. Sicuramente la giovane età gioca un ruolo importante ma un minimo di preparazione in più ed una magg...”
