Recommend - We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide, Sitora, is such a delight! She is very informative and humorous. I would recommend this tour for anyone who visits samarkan.

Unforgettable experience - We spent a memorable day in the mountainous landscapes of Tajikistan. The 7 lakes are wonderful in beauty. The chaotic road gave the feeling of an adventure. The driver was experienced and managed this route without difficulty. We recommend this day trip to the 7 lakes.

Fantastic adventure - Great experience. Good cars and safe adventure in the mountains. Well coordinated and can recommend it to everyone

Tour to the Fan Mountains. - The tour really liked :, guide Abram beautiful. All advised)) the main thing is to get lucky with the weather)) by the border passed very quickly.

A great trip to experience Tajikistan - The trip to the 7 lakes in Tajikistan is highly recommendable and a great 1 day experience! Tajikistan is a country full of beautiful landscapes and rich traditions that is difficult to visit otherwise :) The Tourguide helped us through the border control and organized both pick-ups from Samarkand and from the boarder in Tajikistan The seven lakes are stunning and it is worth the trip! Overall a great adventure with good and easy communication!

Seven Lakes Trip - Awesome Trip! Thanks to Islom everythjng was really well organized and everything worked out great. Can take a little longer than 7h in total, but worth it.

6 lakes - Very well organized trip. Guide picked up from hotel at exact given time and whole trip did not feel forced, as we could do everything at own pace. Really enjoyed Tajikistan, you can see difference between countries at border crossing - the people, chaos at city market and nature. Sadly due to weather could not see all 7 lakes (last one was 6th) but all of them were impressive. Hope to see lakes again in summer time, would go with same company.

Magical Day in Tajikistan!! - We had an absolutely phenomenal time on this tour with Ikram. He took such good care of us throughout every step of the tour. He picked us up at our hotel in Samarkand and drove us to the Tajik border. From there we walked across the border with him guiding us through the checkpoints. Once through Ikram and the Tajik driver took us on the journey up the mountain to the lakes. Each lake was unique and gorgeous with stunning colors. The first six lakes could be reached by car but the 7th required hiking up. We lucked out with the weather as Ikram said sometimes they can’t go to the 7th lake. It was a long hike to the 7th lake but boy was it worth it! The lake was still frozen so we were able to walk out onto the lake surface. A true winter wonderland! After the lakes Ikram took us to a great restaurant to try qurutob, a traditional Tajik dish. We then proceeded across the border and Ikram dropped us back at our hotel. It was a long day but a spectacular one. I highly recommend booking this tour!!

Thank you! - Hi Islom, Thank you for your kindness and care during our Seven Lakes tour in Tajikistan! We are happy and truly enjoyed the scenery of all the beautiful lakes.

Good but can be better - Overall, we had a good experience with the trip, and I’d like to highlight a few positive aspects first. The driver was punctual, and the vehicle was very clean and comfortable. After crossing the border, the SUV provided was of high quality, and the driver was highly professional and reliable. These factors made the journey smooth and reassuring. That said, I believe there are a few areas where the experience could be improved. To be clear, I don’t blame the driver personally, as I understand that the tourism industry in this region is still developing. My suggestions are intended as constructive feedback to help enhance service quality and potentially attract more customers and revenue in the future: Lack of guiding and cultural context: I wouldn’t consider the gentleman who accompanied us a proper tour guide, as he provided little to no information about the local culture, history, or landmarks during the journey. His main role appeared to be logistical – ensuring we didn’t get lost and guiding us from one checkpoint to the next. While helpful, this left the trip feeling less enriching than expected. Unclear arrangements and lack of communication: We felt very unsure about several parts of the trip – for example, the process of crossing the border, whether we needed a new vehicle, how much time we’d have in the small town afterwards, how much local currency to withdraw, or what the exchange rate was. These are basic but important details that were not clearly explained. Ethical concerns: We were encouraged to offer a bribe to the visa officer at the border in order to speed up the process. I found this deeply uncomfortable and unacceptable. Additionally, there was repeated talk about tips – including hints toward giving a "big tip" – which felt a bit inappropriate given the cost of the trip. For the price paid, I believe the margins are already quite decent. In summary, I hope these comments are taken in the spirit of helping improve what could be a fantastic experience. With better communication, more informative guidance, and greater professionalism, this trip could easily stand out as a top-tier offering.
