Free walking tours in Samarkand

Fayoziddin was entertaining and knowledgeable and didn’t overload us with too much information . He also chose quiet places to talk to us so we could hear what he was saying. We had paid for walking tours in Bukhara and Khiva because we didn’t know there were free walking tours there too. I am very rarely disappointed in a free walking tour. The guide has to be good to earn his/her tips.

This has been my best walking tour by far here in Central Asia. Fayoziddin speaks excellent English, is knowledgeable and very passionate on the history of Samarkand. Fayoziddin allowed us the dictate the walking pace and the amount of time at each of the attractions. He never once rushed us or became impatient. I throughly enjoyed every moment.

Really nice tour with a funny and knowledgeable guide! Definitely recommended! He was trying to meet everyone’s needs!

Great time exploring Samarkand with Fayoziddin - a great mix of lecturing (in an easy to digest form) and sightseeing. Highly recommended

Moji fue muy profesional y simpática Una guía muy recomendable para el paseo por Samarcanda

i have attended many guruwalk and Fayoz is definitely one of the better ones - balancing info and fun and flexibility. I enjoyed his session tremendously.

Great way to experience Samarkand, Fayoziddin is a very knowledgeable guide.

Fayoziddin is really friendly, warm and nice guide. He’s full of knowledge and his passion shines through. We appreciated he made an effort to engage and interact with everyone in the group. The tour was brilliant although perhaps a bit too much detail at times. I’d highly recommend making this tour part of your itinerary when visiting Samarkand.

Moji fue espectacular, sus conocimientos son excepcionales explica con mucha claridad. El tour fue super interesante aprendimos muchísimo.

Fayoziddin gave a great walk! We visited amazing places and he talked about the history in each of them, but also the impact in today’s life. The walk is long but he makes it feel light. He is very knowledgable, professional and patient with all the questions. I really enjoyed this experience

Un ottimo tour per avere un'idea della storia del paese e di tutte le attrazioni che ci sono a Samarcanda. Non visitiamo tutti i posti che vediamo ma Fayoziddin ci spiega la storia così da poter apprezzare i vari monumenti anche in solitaria. Ci ha fatto una stima del tempo necessario per vedere ogni monumento come si deve, ci ha detto prezzi e consigliato ottimi ristoranti. Se conoscete l'inglese o il russo Ve lo consiglio assolutamente.

Pasamos una tarde estupenda con Rosana. Es muy profesional y conoce perfectamente toda la historia y las atracciones de la ciudad y nos lo contó con mucho detalle y fácil de comprender. Nos contó también cosas muy interesantes sobre la vida en Samarcanda. Lo recomendamos sin duda.

Fayoziddin is an great tour guide. He showed us the city and gave useful tips for enjoy at the best our staying. We really enjoy this tour

Tour muy completo, visitamos todos los "must" de Samarkanda entrando en casi todos. Rosana habla bien el español y nos explicó historia, leyendas y sobre todo cultura y tradiciones locales que nos pareció super interesante. Un 10 para ella!

Attentive and service-minde guide. Easy to listen to, good english and good amount of information. Very helpful in answering other tourist-related questions and about Uzbekistan. Perfect start for a samarkand-trip, highly recommend.

Sitora was a very nice and friendly guide. She cares a lot for the tourist experience. The tour was a bit long though.

It was a great tour! Sitora was really well informed, professional but still managed to make the tour a lot of fun. It ended exactly on time and she gave us additional suggestions for food and things we could do that were not covered in the tour!

We had Yusef's replacement.. Ismail. He was very informative and a jolly nice fellow to boot.

Fayoziddin is quite knowledgeable and provided useful information. Great tour

Thanks to Fayoz! Excellent tour! Excellent guide! We learned a lot about de main sites of Samarcande! You know how to pace the tour so that it doesn’t look like a 3 1/2 hour tour! The best of luck to you in any of your future projects!

Moji es toda una enciclopedia. Sabe mucho de historia de Samarkand. Nos encantó el tour, mismo que terminó siendo un tour privado porque solo fuimos 3.

A great tour but It coincided with the light show, so make sure you have seen that!

Lola es muy amable y sabe mucho. Además, habla muy bien castellano. La recomiendo al 100 %, si quieres hacerte una idea amplia de la historia de esta magnífica ciudad y su belleza desde los inicios hasta los tiempos actuales y entender más del patrimonio histórico, la filosofía de sus ancestros y la cultura actual. Increíble, lo que aprendí en pocas horas con ella. ¡Muchas gracias!

Great tour with Ismael. Very competent, easy to understand, and extremely friendly. Would do it again anytime!

Fayoziddin is an amazing tour guide. He took us through this beautiful city and complement the visit with some social and historical facts. He was always taking care of every detail and we really enjoy this tour.
