What to expect

Discover Samarkand beyond dates and monuments on this unique French-language walking tour, led by a local guide who was born and raised in the city.

This tour is designed for French-speaking travelers who want to understand not only the history of Samarkand, but also the daily life, traditions, hospitality, and culture of modern Uzbekistan.

Together, we will explore the city’s iconic landmarks while discovering stories that many visitors never hear. Along the way, you will learn about local customs, family life, weddings, food, religion, and traditions that continue to shape Samarkand today.

During the tour, we will visit:

• Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum (inside)
• Registan Square (outside)
• Bibi-Khanym Mosque (outside)
• Shahi-Zinda Necropolis (inside)

This experience is more than a history lesson: it is an opportunity to discover Samarkand through the eyes of a local.

Throughout the walk, I will be happy to answer your questions and share my personal recommendations for the best places to explore after the tour.

Whether it is your first visit to Uzbekistan or you simply want a deeper cultural experience, this tour will help you connect with the authentic spirit of Samarkand.
