I'm passionate about my city, and nothing makes me happier than sharing its history, culture, and hidden gems with people from all over the world. Samarkand is a gem filled with legends, stunning architecture, and a vibrant soul... and I love seeing travelers' eyes light up when they discover it. I'm a communicative, cheerful, and approachable person. I like to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy, learn, and laugh throughout your visit. And yes, I'll admit it with a smile... I'm also pretty! 😉 (but very humble, I swear! 😁) If you want to experience Samarkand in an authentic and fun way, I'm waiting for you with open arms!

Tour description

Welcome to Samarkand!

I'm Shohida, a local guide passionate about the history and culture of this wonderful city. I invite you to discover with me the most impressive and magical corners of ancient Samarkand.

During this approximately 4-hour tour in Spanish, we will visit the city's most iconic sites:

🔹 Gur-e Amir Mausoleum – Tamerlane's Tomb, a place full of history and art.

🔹 Registan Square – The architectural heart of Samarkand, with its majestic madrasas.

🔹 Bibi-Khanum Mosque – A jewel of Islamic architecture built by order of Tamerlane’s wife.

🔹 Siyob Bazaar – Samarkand's most famous market, full of local aromas, colors, and flavors.

I'll tell you not only historical facts, but also local legends, cultural curiosities, and secrets that only those of us who live here know.

I'd also be happy to give you recommendations on where to eat, buy authentic souvenirs, or enjoy the city like a local.
