A relaxed organized walking tour thru Bukhara’s rich history - I only had 1 day in Bukhara and glad I booked this private walking tour with Gulnaz! Bukhara has so much history and interesting stories that i wouldn’t have learnt if not for this tour. 5/5

Very informative and interesting tour of Bukhara - Bekhruza, our guide was very informative, very knowledgeable about the history of the region and made all the difference to our stay at Bukhara ! Her tips on the places to visit ( if not covered in the tour) were also spot on!

Flexible and Fun! - Wonderful experience! Our guide was easy going and very flexible with our unique schedule (we wanted a longer amount of time to take photos). She was passionate about the local history, and was happy to answer other questions about contemporary society and culture. Thank you Bexruza!

Bukhara walking tour - Absolutely worthwhile tour! Shakhnoza was incredibly knowledgeable about all sorts of details about the city and sites to see therein, and even volunteered to take me to an additional side on the edge of the city to see another incredible site that I'd not even heard of!

Great Day Out! - We had an amazing time with the lady guide we called Becky. We did alter the time of our trip as it was very hot that day and as arranged Becky came on time. We saw all the sights a round the old city. It was just like having a friend taking you round to see the sights. I would definitely recommend this trip as you can alter the time etc to fit your needs.

Overpriced, but nice walking tour - Sittora is a very knowledgeable guide. She is friendly. It was enjoyable to learn different stories from her and the history of Bukhara. The tour is about half a day - 8:00 to 1:30. None of the entrance fees are included for costed sites. When it says admission included, it is a free site. It is also a walking tour - no car or driver involved. The price paid for the tour is incredibly high. I had a similar tour in Samarkand for $30 and had to pay the entrance fees. In Tashkent, I had an even longer tour (all day) with lunch and all entrance fees included for a slightly higher price.
