★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 446 reviews · 5 hours · from $20Our pick

Review of Samarkand’s five-hour walking tour, covering Registan, Gur-e-Amir, Bibi-Khanym, Shah-i-Zinda, and Siyob Bazaar.

“me and my other 2 friends had a really great time today with Charos. Because of no other people other than us she text me beforehand and try to accommodate with our time since we just landed in Tashkent and reach Samarkand quite late. She explained all the history and culture very well. It was worth the money considering all the knowledge we get during this session. Charos also patiently repeat the part that we loss since Samarkand is the heart of Central Asia and have a lot of history. We were tired but so happy. Thank you!”
