Summary: Visited a few places as stated in the itinerary, so it was a good introduction to the key sites of Samarkand and to understand a bit more of its history and heritage. Savirnoz was a great guide who was also very knowledgeable of the history and stories of the places that we visited. The tour was done at a nice pace and she took the time to engage us (participants) in casual conversations to understand more about us and our experiences. She even provided time for us to take pictures once she was done with her sharing and offered to help to take our pictures. Overall, if u are to get Savirnoz as your guide for this tour, you'll enjoy it.
