Free walking tours in Samarkand

Fayoziddin è una guida professionale e simpatica che sa raccontare aneddoti senza risultare noioso. Abbiamo apprezzato molto il tour con lui e lo consigliamo vivamente!

We loved this tour! Our guru was friendly and explained everything very well with a fluent and understandable English. We really appreciate the fact that he show us many pictures and images to help us understand better what he was talking about. Probably the best GuruWalk that we had so far!

Professional guide, he gave a lot of iinteresting, history nformation

Yusuf non h potuto svolgere il tour, ma al suo posto c'era il collega Ismail. Il tour è stato molto interessante ed è andato al di là delle nostre aspettative! Consigliatissimo

This tour was our second tour with Fayoziddin. Taking a tour with Fayoziddin was one of the best decisions we made. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, thoroughly professional, and what truly sets him apart is his interactive style—he doesn’t just talk at you, he engages with you. He encouraged us to share our thoughts and reflections, making the whole experience much more personal and memorable. Every moment of the tour was a joy. When we compare him to other guides we've met—like the one at the Registan—Fayoziddin is in a league of his own. His depth, presence, and energy lifted the tour to another level. We’re sincerely grateful to have had him as our guide. More than that, he felt like a mentor—someone who enriched our journey in ways we didn’t expect. Absolutely and wholeheartedly recommended.

This was an unforgettable experience with Fayoziddin. If you're considering a tour with Fayoziddin, don’t hesitate—you will be more than satisfied. He is not only a true professional with extensive knowledge, but also someone who encourages meaningful engagement. His approach goes beyond just guiding; he invites you to contribute your own thoughts and perspectives, which made the experience deeply enriching. We enjoyed every single minute of the tour. Compared to other guides (for instance, the one we encountered at the Registan), Fayoziddin is on an entirely different level—at least ten steps ahead. We genuinely felt fortunate to have him as our guide, or rather, our guru. Highly recommended.

The tour was nice. You go through all the important places of Samarkand and he give some free time to explore it by yourself. He has a lot of knowledge and he is always willing to answer any questions

Thank you

An excellent and long tour of over 3 hours, taking in the key sights of Samarkand. Very informative. Ismail allowed us to explore sites and take photos before describing the history. It was a leisurely, informative tour

Yusuf was not available today for our tour, so we have Ishmail instead and he was brilliant! We feel so informed on the history and cultural significance of Samarkand and feel it’s offered a great platform for the rest of our trip in Central Asia. Ishmail was so knowledgeable and generous with his time. He answered all of our questions and offered some great recommendations for the rest of our trip. We absolutely recommend this tour and Ishmail!

My family and I had the absolute pleasure of having a tour guide who truly went above and beyond; he had incredible patience and a warm, welcoming spirit. He took the time to clearly explain each attraction, sharing not just facts, but stories that brought every place to life. He took the time to answer all our questions and always made sure we had enough time to take photos and soak in the beauty around us. His passion and wealth of knowledge made the entire experience unforgettable! Thank you for making it special!

This tour was a great introduction to Samarkand and the tour guide was very informative during this 4 hour walking tour

Everything was perfect

Amazing tour. Great background and explanations. Really recommend it.

La nostra guida Fayoziddin è molto preparata e attenta alle esigenze del gruppo. Abbiamo visto i principali monumenti di Samarcanda e il tour ha dato una bella panoramica sulla storia di questa splendida città. Grazie mille Fayoziddin, molto bravo

Nos avisó que tenía una emergencia y nos atendió su compañero Ismail. Buen ingles, casi 4horas y todo a pesar de la lluvia. Muy atento, pregunta siempre como te encuentras y si necesitas algo. Buenas explicaciones. Visitamos varios monumentos por dentro y nos preguntaba si lo queríamos ver o no. Nos recomendó un buen restaurante.

The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so much context and information. Really recommend. Keep in mind it’s a quite long tour

a good and helpful guide thanks

Hicimos el tour con Sitora, fue una guía increíble. Siempre pendiente de que todo estuviera bien. Repetiría sin duda con ella.

Great overview of the many landmarks of a beautiful city. Fayoziddin really made an effort to summarise the centuries of history as we went through each point of interest, making it interesting yet light and easy to follow.

Fayozzidin is a friendly, smart and entertaining guide. You can feel his passion to give you the best insights into Uzbek history and culture.

Very nice guy. Professional job. Pleasant presentation. I fully recommend it

Fayoziddin is one of the most excellent tour guides we have had the pleasure to experience. Highly recommendable!
