Great private tour. Perfect for history buffs. Highly detailed and intelligent guide! - Wonderful and detailed historic private tour of the Old City. Guide was knowledgeable about every facet of Uzbek history and culture. Made the experience visiting the city so much more meaningful really hearing about the background of the buildings and the various empires and conquests. Well worth the money.

Mrs Shahnoza--recommended for families with seniors and young adults - We are a group of two young adults from the Philippines who visited Bukhara with our senior parents. We have travelled to more than 80 countries and Mrs Shahnoza is easily in our top 5 of tour guides ever. We appreciated how she struck a great balance between going at a relaxed pace yet provided us with lots of important information. Her English was excellent, and she had a very friendly demeanour. We did not feel pressured at all, unlike tour guides in some other countries who coerced us into buying from tourist trap shops or to leave them a review. There was a bit of confusion at the start about how many guests were booked into the tour, but I assume this was a simple administrative error.

Great, comprehensive walking tour - My guide Nargiz met me promptly at the indicated spot. She was knowledgeable about everything we saw and her English was excellent. We covered all the indicated attractions. At the end of the tour, we were some little distance away from the starting point, and she paid for a tuk-tuk to take us back. Great experience!

Picturesque Bukhara - Shehnaz was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable and extremely accomodating. Our train got delayed, and hence we had to postpone the tour by one hour. She adjusted to the time change and we were still able to cover all places in the itinerary without rushing. In fact, we visited Ismail Samani mausoleum which was not part of the trip. Very highly recommended.

Incredible experience with Manzila! - Manzila was absolutely amazing - she was so knowledgeable on the history of Uzbekistan and one could really tell how passionate she was about her country and culture. We spent a lovely 6 hours with her and would highly recommend her for a day tour of Bukhara

Wonderful Buhara - We came as a family for just a couple of days, Deela was approached on a recommendation. It's a really professional Guide, we started in the city centre at Laby House and at every landmark we went on to learn historical data, legends and current history. It wasn't just a field trip, it was a stroll through the city with a very soulful, friendly conversation on the same wavelength. We loved it madly, remembering fondly this day that flew by like an instant. Deela told me that one ticket allows three days of multiple visits to the Attraction he belongs to. And she told us where the pilaf was delicious, and it was only thanks to her call that we managed to taste it, as we arrived at 2 p.m. in the center of the pilaf. When I had to travel by tuk-tuk I traded the price twice the fare for tourists. Already recommend Diel to family, friends and acquaintances :-)
