Valeriia MDeparture was from a new Bus Station in Samarkand while in ticket was mentioned other - Old Bus Station that is not working currently. As tourists we were lost at this point, found out about right departure point from our taxi driver.
The trip took approximately for an 1 hour longer than was expected. Also for 5 hours night road we had 0 (zero) stops. So we were on a 5 hour trip without possibility to use bathroom/toilet.
Bus drivers were driving pretty dangerously, considering it was nightime and raining outside.
Also on trip from Tashkent to Samarkand we've been offered with drinks and sandwiches. There wasnt same service on trip back from Samarkand to Tashkent

Olga DI booked a private transfer from Samarkand to Tashkent airport with an expected duration of around 5 hours.
In reality, the trip took approximately 8 hours.
The driver made frequent and unnecessary stops (including stopping to rest and even to chat with people), despite the fact that I clearly communicated that I had a flight and needed to arrive on time.
I had to constantly monitor the route and push the driver to continue, which completely defeated the purpose of booking a private transfer. Instead of being able to rest, I was forced to manage the situation myself.
Additionally, the driver first took me to the wrong airport and then to the wrong terminal, which required me to arrange additional transport under time pressure.
I reported the issue during the trip, but the local operator did not respond in time.
To be fair, I did not miss my flight, but only because I had built in a significant time buffer and actively managed the situation myself.
The service was technically “completed,” but the actual experience was far below expectations for a private transfer.
I would strongly recommend clarifying expectations with the operator in advance and considering alternative providers if timing is critical because with current operator there is a high risk of not being transported on time.

Ī-tsin IThe driver picked me up right on time. However, when we arrived at the Samarqand Avtovokzali, we had to wait for more than an hour past the scheduled departure time. The trip itself wasn’t very pleasant — the seats were quite narrow, and the coach driver kept honking the horn, which was rather annoying. Overall, if there had been a train available at that time, I would have chosen to take the train instead, especially since the price is similar. Just a reminder — be sure to message the operator on WhatsApp (info provided on voucher) beforehand to get your ticket and confirm the pick-up details.

Fira DBuying tickets here is pretty easy too. It’s a third-party website — the official site was sold out, but this one still has availability.
Just wait a bit and they’ll email you the ticket. Seamless payment. Nice 👍
