Uzbekistan · PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS
The 3 best photography sessions you can book right now, with what each costs, how long it runs and who it suits. Number one is first for a reason; start there and work down.
4-5 hour Samarkand tour with a professional photographer and guide, visiting Registan, Gur Emir, Shah-i-Zinda, Bibi Khanym, Siab Bazaar.
“Excellent tour with professional photographer. Gave all the good angles as to where to take photographs. Done the tour at 5pm which means you saw the lights on at Registan Square.”
Full-day Tashkent tour with pro photo help (Sony A6700 Mon-Fri), metro sights, bazaars, plus Uzbek lunch and dinner for $80 pp.

Tashkent after dark in 6 hours with metro art, Amir Temur Square sights, dinner, and free pro photos. Private tour with pickup.

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
