I'm watching this thread with interest as I'm hoping to go to Samarkand this summer using either Iran, the Baku ferry or Russia, and ideally using 2 of those routes, so as not to retrace my steps.
Russia seems the least complicated at the moment.
Iran may still be an option and hoping that with an Irish passport I'll not need a guide.
Not getting a warm feeling about the ferry though
