Kamilla Is a World Class Guide! - My husband and I (from USA & Mexico) had an amazing time in Bukhara with Kamilla as our guide! She helped put what we were seeing in Bukhara in context - the Silk Road history & modern Uzbekistan - in a way none of our other guides did, with visuals, quotes from the past, and her own experiences. It was delightful to spend time with her. We HIGHLY recommend booking a tour with Kamilla. She is a truly special person & guide.

Best tour guide ever - We had a wonderful time with our guide Kamilla. She knows a lot about Buchara, about the history and all the interesting places to visit and see. She made it a lot of fun with messages that she wrote on beautiful paper from famous people and philosophers from Buchara in the (far) past. Throughout the tour on special places we could chose from these messages and she would tell us about the meaning of them. Really nice!! She also gave us great tips for restaurants (Plov!) and for shopping local products. And shared a lot about local traditions. And she was very good company as well. We had a lot of fun with Kamilla. We would definitely recommend her as a guide to discover the beauty of Buchara and it’s people. We have done many tours with many guides but this was the best guide we ever had. Thank you very much Kamilla!.

Great experience! Highly recommended! 10/10 - Kamila has an excellent English and has a great personal charm! She even has prepared a short quotes from famous Bukharians and I was given to read them at the different locations. Also she accommodated my personal needs and even guided me for two sites, which were not in our original itinerary. Highly appreciated! I would definitely rate Kamila 10/10 and strongly recommend to everyone visiting Bukhara.

Brilliant guide! - Kamilla is a brilliant and very knowledgable tour guide. She was happy to adapt the itinerary and timings to our particular interests - including adding in a lunch stop for plov and visiting local artisans. The pace of the tour was perfect and Kamilla was happy to chat through our more general questions about life in Uzbekistan.

Perfect guide to a beautiful city - Our experience in Bukhara and Uzbekistan was amazing. The local people, such as passionate guides like Kamilla, played a significant role in making it memorable. The City Tour around Bukhara, hosted by Kamilla was not ordinary guided tour. No overwhelming dates, stats, names. It was simple, clear and full of fun and clever messages from the past to give you food for thought. Kamilla was personable and my family felt comfortable and at ease throughout. The tour was very well thought out and planned giving the perfect account of this ancient city. We came away being richly immersed in its history and beauty. In addition, Kamilla gave great tips and advice of the city. Where to eat, other places to visit and other local information and insights. She went above and beyond our expectations and we were extremely happy with her delivery. Very reasonably priced too. We have already recommended Kamilla to our friends who will visit this wonderful city and hope to one day visit again soon.
