Breif description about the Tour:
During our route you will see not only monumental architectural constructions of different epochs, but also familiarize yourself with the history and centuries-old culture of the peoples inhabiting modern Uzbekistan. You will taste dishes of Uzbek national cuisine (the most “delicious” in the Central Asian region!). You will visit the biggest bazaar in Samarkand, where your eyes will “run away” from the abundance of oriental “delicious” vegetables and fruits, which you can try without harming your “pocket”. In the yurt camp you will be accommodated in real felt yurts, in which nomadic tribes inhabiting the region of modern Central Asia before the beginning of our era lived from time immemorial. You will bathe in the salty water of the desert lake Aidarkul, which is located among the sands of the Kyzyl-Kum desert.
Along the whole route you will be accompanied by a professional guide, who will answer all your questions and will take care of you unobtrusively.
You will travel along the route branch and in the cities in a comfortable tourist vehicle with a professional driver.

The “Guaranteed tour to the cities of Uzbekistan” is over.
We vacationed in Uzbekistan with family and friends. We booked a tour through Alsamarkand. We liked everything: both the organization and the prices. The guides were very friendly and patient and answered all our questions. We will definitely return to Uzbekistan and use the services of this company again.
I highly recommend Alsamarkand travel company. They organize unforgettable trips around Uzbekistan. I ordered a tour of Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand from them for 7 days. The tour was very eventful; we visited all the most interesting places in these cities. Overall, I was very pleased with my trip.
