Samarkand to Tashkent Central Destination Reviews

RE
Richard E
You bought 2 train tickets and 2 bus tickets for me. Successfully! Thank you. But the bus tickets were slow. It took 2 or more days. It was not a problem, but there was no automatic update during that time. Maybe an email 2 times a day to say... "We are still working on it. We did not forget you." would have been appreciated. It is a nervous time waiting and always checking your site.

I was first picked up from my guest house. The driver came an hour early. That was ok except that he did not have a working seat belt in the front passenger seat. I would not drive with him until he got it working. Then we picked up another person and drove to a meeting point where we changed cars to one that had a working seat belt in the front but none in the back. The driver of the first car was very polite and helpful despite the seatbelt saga, as was the driver of the second car which was very comfortable. Overall it was a very good trip, the drivers were both good drivers, and we were all delivered to our destinations.

Driver was nice, drove safely, paid attention to our needs ( he got us bottles of water and made stops when needed) Everything was perfect except that he was 30 minutes late.

Bus was very uncomfortable. Bus driver told us quickly and only in Russian where we could sort of find the bus after the border, 300 meters away at an unmarked location. They left 1 person behind because they weren’t there “on time”
