An early start for prompt 06:10 departure. Everything smooth, on time and comfortable. Complimentary snacks and drink provided on board, as well as (independent?) paid for refreshments. Good to remember travel tickets are available logging in to 12go account rather than downloading from confirmation email at time of purchase

The bus left on time at 1:30pm and supposed to arrive 5:00pm - it arrived 6:45pm due to the heavy traffic in the highway. The driver re routed in some partially paved road to avoid the traffic - but he was driving crazy, super bumpy ride and honks at everyone who is running slow. He even counter flowed in the highway and “tried to insert the bus into the barriers going to the opposite direction to save time since we are behind schedule. Snacks were only given 30mins before arrival in Samarkand. As a tourist, I did not feel safe about the services offered by all comfort bus. It was not comfortable at all - atleast from my experience.

The trip from Tashkent from Samarkand was good. The train was on time, finding the platform at the station was clear and the ride was pretty comfortable, except of the lack of AC.

Some drivers could NOT find Hotel Deluxe and had to call hotel to get directions. Took extra time and confusion- especially as a tourist with language barrier.

Good bus depot at Tashkent. Comfortable seating on bus that left on time and good check-in service at bus. Note bus depot is approx 5km from area around main attractions and hotels

It was strictly forbidden to take my laptop in a laptop size bag to the bus, only when an old lady had a same size bag in the bus for a toddler´s stuff and I insisited to talk to the boss, I was finally allowed to take it with me underneath the seat, not above where there wa space, too. Some minutes later, when the second driver passed through the bus he shoutes at me as I had dared to put up my feet a bit to make it more comfirtable in the narrow first row, while a fat man was sitting next tome hanging into my space as there was no handle between us. They gave us water and an ugly wrapped croissant after 4 hours upon arrival in Samarkand, bus went on to Buchara.
