The best tour ever!
They are the absolute leaders in organizing tours to Bukhara and Samarkand. We were delighted with the tour arrangements—excellent communication, accommodation, and transportation, along with professional guides like Shakhlo and Svetlana. The excursions were fascinating. We will definitely recommend Anur tour to our friends and acquaintances. Narina (the manager) and guides Shahlo (Bukhara) and Svetlana (Samarkand) are the best.

The best of the best!
Our greatest thanks to the team of Anura Tour — guides Shahnoza and Anora, drivers Mr. Norbek and Akbar, tour manager Khabiba Mukhamedjanova— for making our tour an unforgettable experience. We also want to thank all of them for making extra efforts to help our friend who felt sick right before the trip, so he could catch up with us and enjoy the rest of the trip once he felt a little better! Our great thanks to all of you — you are the best! Highly recommend this team to anyone who wants to experience the best of Central Asia in the safest hands.

Beautiful life time memories in Samarkand and Buhara
I came in Uzbekistan for documents with my mom that came from Russia. We had two 3 days windows during our stay and Narina helped us book trip to Samarkand and trip to Buhara. Both tours very absolutely amazing. First of all Narina arranged them on very short notice from us and provided well prepared tours, schedule, tickets, taxi, guide, basically everything!!! Secondly, both cities with deep beautiful history were presented by extremely knowledgeable, entering, and interactive guides that were able to speak English and Russian and thru history, architecture, art, literature, science, cuisine, people we met allowed us to dive into Samarkand and Buhara. Finally, both: my mom and I , were feeling very welcomed, safe and cared during our tours. It was truly amazing unique experience that we were able to get because of level of service provided to us. Life time memories were created, charished, and shared with our friends at home countries.

A wonderful trip to Uzbekistan
This was a fantastic organized tour to a distant strange land for a no-nonsense middle aged solo traveler. Everything from airport pickup, to hotel check in, guided tours in three different cities, and finally airport drop off, vehicles and drivers, plus the ready responsiveness of Khabiba my central planner from initial contact two months in advance to post-tour communication was impeccable. You can’t go wrong using this company for your Uzbekistan trip.

Great way to see it all in two days!
A great way to see these two amazing cities in one trip. I found the Uzbekistan railway site hard to navigate: the tour company took care of my train and hotel bookings and the driver handed me a packet with all the tickets when they picked me up from my hotel in Tashkent. Ask for guides Laziz in Samarkand and Feruza in Bukhara. They were both great and tailored the tour to fit my interests while covering all the fascinating facts about these places. The only point of improvement would be it would be nice to have the full itinerary before the day of. Everything was handled easily, but I did not know when my follow on train trips were or what hotel I was staying at until the day of.

2 Days Tour to Bukhara and Samarkand from Tashkent by train: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tashkent.
How much does 2 Days Tour to Bukhara and Samarkand from Tashkent by train cost?
+
Prices start at $499 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tashkent usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Tour to Bukhara and Samarkand from Tashkent by train take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tashkent is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Tour to Bukhara and Samarkand from Tashkent by train worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tashkent, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Tour to Bukhara and Samarkand from Tashkent by train?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2 Days Tour to Bukhara and Samarkand from Tashkent by train suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Tour to Bukhara and Samarkand from Tashkent by train?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tashkent can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tashkent and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Tour to Bukhara and Samarkand from Tashkent by train start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tashkent within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tashkent?
+
On Outty we rank every Tashkent experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Amirsoy, Chimgan & Charvak – A Full-Day Mountain Tour, Best Of Tashkent: Amirsoy Skiing Resort, Chimgan and Charvak Lake, Tashkent: Guided Walking & Food Tour with Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tashkent?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tashkent?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
