          Friendly, reliable & so efficient
          We used this service using the WhatsApp messaging as suggested. It was incredibly efficient, and we received confirmation for our airport transfer to Fiumicino straight away. The drivers both times we used the taxi service were very friendly, spoke excellent English and were good drivers. Our taxi turned up a few minutes early, having confirmed as promised 15 minutes before the scheduled pick up time. Highly recommend and would use them again.

          Reliable and affordable
          Reliable, affordable, easy to book, taxi turned up on time, journey to and from the airport was easy and stress free. They have a representative at the airport arrivals that will direct you to your car, for the return journey pick up is at your door step. Everything is prepaid online so no worries of carrying cash around and no surprise extra fees

          Private taxi to Castelo Gondolfo
          We had arranged with Samarcanda Taxi to have a driver pick us up at our hotel in Rome and take us to Castelo Gandolfo, the Pope’s summer residence , which is about an hour outside Rome. The driver came promptly and dropped us off at the Castelo. A second driver picked us up, and while there was a short delay in connecting with him, it worked out well in the end.

          Best on time ride to the airport!
          I booked/ paid in advance in September. I left Rome 10/2 and noted an 11:15am pickup. I was sent a text 15 minutes before the car showed up and the driver came into my hotel and asked for me by name. This went really smooth and I enjoyed learning more about Italy and upcoming events during the ride to the airport. Definitely using them again!

          Great experience
          I customized my tour to go to specific destinations and just gave the chauffeur my list with addresses. He was knowledgeable about the city and figured how to plan the ride. My visits went very well and I was super pleased.

          Castel Gandolfo transfer - recommended!
          After a long train ride from Bolzano, I decided to give the regional train a miss and book a taxi instead - and what a great idea it was. The evening before, the dispatcher gave me a tentative budget and the meeting point at Termini, telling me to call upon arrival. After my phone call went unanswered, I whatsapped and a taxi was found quickly. The driver was friendly, kind and experienced, and managed to wrangle us from the traffic mayhem which is Rome as fast as he could, depositing us in front of our Castel Gandolfo hotel, in a very narrow street. Car modern and clean, and budget realistic, even with the traffic and the 19:30 hike in tariff. Very well recommended.

          Avoid at all cost!!
          Terrible customer service. Rude drivers. DO NOT USE THIS CAB SERVICE IF YOU CAN HELP IT. The hotel front desk ordered a cab for us and we were told it would arrive in 5 minutes, when the cab finally arrived, 10 minutes later, they took someone else . Then another cab arrived and took others. After waiting almost 15 minutes, we went back in the hotel to inquire why the cabs were not picking us up, and a 3rd cab was ordered. Once it arrived, the driver didn't speak or understand any English and could understand we wanted to go to the mall. We went back to the hotel for a second time to actually get the receptionist, and she came out to the cab to translate for us. To make matters worse, the driver was on his cell phone the entire time talking very loudly to someone. We had the same issue returning from the mall with the driver not knowing how to get us to the hotel and talking on his cell phone. Rude and incompetent service!!! Pick another occupation if you don't want to interact with people!!!!!

          Overcharge
          The driver overcharged me for the ride from my address to Termini Station, with the excuse that the night surcharge applies until 7am. It was 6.44 and the night surcharge ends at 6. I am very disappointed

          Easy transfer to Fiumicino with Samarcanda!
          I booked and prepaid a taxi transfer from Rome to Fiumicino Airport through Samarcanda's website. The whole process was super easy and they WhatsApp'd the taxi driver's details to me about 30 minutes before my requested time. My driver was early, courteous, and helped me with my bags. The ride to the airport was very smooth and since I had already paid, all I had to do was to unload my bags and that was it! I'm very pleased with the service and would recommend it if you're looking for a fuss-free transfer service in Rome.

        Professionalism, courtesy but above all friendliness of the taxi driver are the characteristics that describe the company. You made my tour really excellent. Thank you!
