Spectacular architecture and history. Each site we visited was several centuries old had exquisite design and detail. Learning the history from our excellent guide helped make the experience much more meaningful.

Excellent and well worth it. Wear comfy footwear and prepare for the heat. Always retain your tickets and only buy them from the official ticket stand, if someone 'official' demands your ticket at a later time decline to give them it because they want to resell it. Also, some of the tickets are reusable so you can enjoy another entry after sundown and experience the place in different light.

Despite the logistical challenges caused by the Nowruz holiday, the travel team succeeded in getting me to Samarkand and back for a very worthwhile day trip at the end of a one week conference in Tashkent. I'm really grrateful that I was able to fit this into my visit to Uzbekistan. The travel company were very communicative and the guide was really informative.

I booked this months in advance knowing that I only had 3 days in the country. I booked this with the expectation that I would get to see Samarkand despite my short stay (I was staying in Tashkent). I woke up early and waited for the driver at 6am. No one showed up. After about 30 minutes I tried to call their office and their was no answer. I tried to message them through the La Vacanza Travel website - no answer. I texted them and again there was no answer. By 6.45am I gave up only to hear from the company around 7am tellng me that because they were unable to secure the train tickets the trip had been cancelled. There was no explanation as to why I wasn't informed beforehand (naturally they would have had to book the tickets at least the day before) and I wonder now if they would have contacted me at all if I hadn't texted them first. Complete and utter waste of my time. Don't bother with these guys and save yourselves the headache.
