Compare them here: which include the rail ticket, how many hours you actually get on the ground, whether lunch is in the price, and what happens if the return service is full.

Fiyoz is well informed about history, different timelines and other facts. We really like the way he mentioned that history isn't same for everyon. He patiently explained each attraction with historic significance. We still have lot to see in Samarkand but time permits for only few important attractions.”
