Marat leads all the departures of our Golden road to Samarkand tour in Uzbekistan. He has worked with us for many years, consistently receiving great feedback from those who have travelled with him. Comments include:
"Considerate, went beyond the call of duty, very professional, excellent knowledge."
"Marat was very knowledgeable, spoke great English and was easy to understand. Excellent. Went out of his way to help us - nothing was too much trouble. Cannot speak highly enough of our tour leader."
We asked Marat a few questions...

When I had the same client visiting my country for three times in three years as he loved it!!!
It was in BUKHARA when, after a whole day of sight seeing, two ladies came to the local guide and told her: "Gulia, it was a nice day, we enjoyed a lot, SAMARKAND is a beautiful city!"
