This tour was worth it! I traveled solo from Samarkand and I was picked up by a driver from my hotel to the Tajikistan border. It took 15 minutes to undergo passport control at the border. I was met by another driver and tour guide in Tajikistan and they were fantastic! Great driving and very knowledgeable about Tajikistan and the Seven Lakes. It takes about 3 hours to go up to the Sixth Lake with most of this time spent on bumpy gravel road but the scenery was definitely worth the travel! We had a late lunch in Panjakent and we met one more tour guide who toured me through the Sarazm ruins. Overall I would recommend doing this tour for the scenery and kind people!

Fantastic trip, well organised, excellent drivers and beautiful lakes. The border crossing alone is quite the experience, as you get dropped and then go by foot through several passport checks and picked up on the other side. Note that UK and US (and other) need a visa. EU does not. Our driver (Bobajon?) spoke English very well and told us a lot about Tadzjikistan which was very interesting. Would highly recommend this trip.
