Samarkand: Tajikistan Seven lakes Day trip with lunch

Amazing day at the Seven Lakes!

We had a fantastic 1-day tour from Samarkand to the Seven Lakes in Tajikistan. Our guide, Murod, was excellent, very helpful, professional, and knew all the best spots for views. We didn't make it to the 7th lake (not possible at winter), but the 6th lake was beautiful and a highlight of the trip. Murod also took some great photos of us throughout the day, which is greatly appreciated! He took us to a local restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious, authentic Tajik dish. If you're looking for a smooth and memorable trip to Tajikistan, I highly recommend booking with Murod!

Samarkand City Private Guided Tour & transport & paper factory

Brilliant visit with Olimjon

Great experience! Olimjon was the perfect guide for us, we absolutely enjoyed the history discussion and culture experience he took us on. He is a great conversationalist, knows the fun places to hangout and is brilliant company. Definitely recommend going on a private tour with him. And hey, he takes great pictures too, so that’s always a plus.
