5.00Best of Central Asia. Registan Square, in the city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. By far the best of Central Asia. Beholding that wonder is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. Absolutely, we have to go.

5.00I had an excellent city tour in Samarkand with a good private guide and a helpful driver. Samarkand is a rather big town to walk around to visit all historical monuments. I recommend this city tour. I took a rest sometimes due to the hot weather. It was ideal to take a private guide and a driver. 素晴らしいガイドとドライバーのお陰で、旅行は、もっと楽しくなりました。ガイドさんのおすすめのプロフレストラン、ツーリスト的でないチャーミングで美味しい。
