1.00・It is not recommended. When I crossed the border in Tajikistan by land, two local people showed me around in a car, and they didn't know much about sightseeing spots, only explained what they had done on the spot in English. They asked me to come back a year later because I could explain, but it seemed like they were hiring people with untrained English education. ・Lunch was even paid for for two guides. · The taxi that was arranged for us came to our hotel, but on the way back we had to negotiate with the taxi people near the border and we were forced to pay a premium taxi fee. Although they gave us cash, it was quite distressing because many people tried to snatch it from us. ・Going on my own is difficult, such as negotiating a taxi, but considering the total amount of money, it was a pretty expensive tour. We paid just under 60,000 yen in Japanese yen, of which 16,000 yen ($100) was handed to us in Uzbekistan and we paid two guides on the Tajik side, so I think it was their daily wage. It is expensive, so I think you should hire a taxi and find someone you can trust to guide you. You may not be able to find the guide guide any longer.
Highly recommend

5.00We took a day trip to Penjikent. It was a wonderful experience. Our guide was able to pass on to us his love of his country, which is so rich in the history of civilisations. The scenery in the mountains was breathtaking.
Interesting run-out to Tajikistan from Samarkand, visiting the excavation of the ancient city of Penjikent, etc.

5.00Very good day-trip from Samarkand to Penjikent Tajikistan to see the town, visit the Rudaki Museum, look at the historical excavations, and have a Tajik lunch. The driver in Samarkand picked me up at my hotel and was on time, as were the driver and guide in Tajikistan. You have to walk a bit to cross the international border, but that was an interesting break. The excavations are of the settlement of Penjikent, dating from the 5th to 8th centuries AD. My guide was quite knowledgeable. And my driver back to Samarkand was there early to take me back to my hotel. I tried to book a similar trip with Trip Advisor, but the minimum participation is 2 people--why? I am so glad I found this from AdvanTour for just me. No complaints about this excursion.
