Summary:
Today I explored a lot of very interesting historical places in Samarkand via the Samarkand City Tour and I had a wonderful day thanks to my guide. With her deep knowledge about the places we visited and also knowledge about the history of the area in general with religion, culture, cuisine etc. she gave the tour life so to speak. I learnt a lot about the visited historical places, life in Samarkand, the life in Uzbekistan and the countries in the area, both during the historical centuries but also about today’s life in Samarkand, and the historical ties to ancient times. She gave me the whole picture of the area. Very well done!

The sights were really beautiful. Our guide, Sevinch, knew the history of her city very well. She kept the pace slow to match my walking difficulty. Much appreciated!
