From Samarkand to Tashkent by Train — a Day Trip to the Capital

About this tour

Enjoy a comfortable one-day trip from Samarkand to Tashkent by high-speed train with a professional sightseeing tour of Uzbekistan’s capital. This is an efficient way to explore Tashkent in a single day without a long road transfer. Travelers can choose between two high-speed train options from Samarkand: an early morning departure or another fast train departing closer to midday, depending on the preferred timing of the sightseeing program. After arriving in Tashkent, you will meet your professional guide. If desired, you can stop for breakfast before the tour begins; breakfast is optional, not included in the tour price and paid separately. The sightseeing program combines driving and walking sections and introduces you to Tashkent’s major historical, cultural and architectural landmarks. Explore the old city, Islamic architecture, historic neighborhoods, central squares and modern areas while learning how the ancient heritage and contemporary life of Uzbekistan come together in its capital. After the guided tour, travelers remain in Tashkent and are free to continue exploring the city, go to their hotel or use the remaining time independently. If you would like to return to Samarkand on the same day, we can arrange an additional high-speed train from Tashkent to Samarkand departing after 7:00 PM. The return train ticket is optional and available for an additional charge.
