“This tour was excellent!! We learned so much about the history of Samarkand and Uzbekistan in a few short hours, and Nur made the museums come alive with his stories and deep knowledge. The house museum was closed but we had more than enough to see in the other two museums, and it was easy to get around with Yandex. Nur was such an amazing guide that we asked him on the spot to be our guide for the next 2 days as well (and would have asked for more except he was already booked after that). You will learn a lot and laugh a lot. Don’t hesitate to book…”
