Discover the remarkable structures, lively markets, and deep-rooted cultural background of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Reserve your expedition today and experience the best that Bukhara has to offer in a single day!
Your day will begin bright and early, leaving from Tashkent and arriving in Bukhara by morning. Here, your well-informed guide will take you on a journey through the city’s most important landmarks, like old mosques, tombs, and religious schools.
You’ll get to see awe-inspiring examples of Islamic architectural designs and understand the profound history of the area, including Bukhara’s influence on Islamic art and tradition. Your guide will also help you find the city’s top dining and shopping spots, letting you experience Bukhara’s everyday vibes.
In the unlikely event that the high-speed train isn’t available, we will ensure you travel in the most comfortable section of the regular train.
- Transfer to the Tashkent Railway Station at 06:30 in the morning. The high-speed train, Afrosiyob, leaves from Tashkent at 07:30 and arrives in Bukhara at 11:17. A guide and driver will meet you at the station, which is a starting point of the Bukhara tour. Moving to the Old City. Full day excursions with a guide in the historical center of Bukhara. After the tour you will be transferred to the airport for a flight back to Tashkent. Meeting at the airport in Tashkent and transfer to the hotel/ home.
- The trip to Bukhara is on the high-speed Afrosiab train, which takes 4 hours to get to Bukhara from Tashkent. Even though the train departure is quite early, it’s possible to take a nap as you travel. Once you arrive in Bukhara, set off on a tour of the most interesting historical sights: ancient mosques, mausoleums and madrassas, and the Ark Fortress. You will see in one day what most tourists take 2-3 days to visit.
- In the evening, after the tour, take a little time to rest in the Bukhara airport, before arriving back in Tashkent around midnight. Even though you might be exhausted after such a long trip, the memories you make will stay with you long after the exhaustion has faded!
- Note: On rare occasions when the high-speed train is unavailable, we will replace this with the most-comfortable class of regular train.

Great day tour from Tashkent - GOTOUZBEKISTAN was able to accommodate a last minute tour to Bukhara a day before, which was great!
Their team was easily reachable on WhatsApp, which I would highly recommend using when communicating with them regarding the tour as it involves multiple touch points.
Ali was great, and met me at the train station and gave me all the information needed to proceed with the tour, itinerary, and rest of the day.
Dilfuza was a great guide in Bukhara and had a lot of historical information and context that was needed to understand the sights on the tour. The lunch at Chinor was great as well.
Finished pretty early, so spent a couple of hours before the flight back to Tashkent relaxing at the airport, but was worth it since it was a long day’s worth of traveling.
Would highly recommend this tour, especially if you are tight on time and want to do Bukhara as a day trip from Tashkent.

It's a great tour. - I have a Reservation for a private tour. 4 hours by express train from Tashkent. I don't have a Guide on the train, but I didn't have to worry about getting off at the end.
It’s a long train journey, but I enjoyed it on its own, as the on-board sales are unique and we come here many times to sell a variety of food.
A taxi driver was waiting for us at Bukhara railway station. On the way, we meet our Guide and head to our destination after lunch.
We enjoyed the many historic buildings while listening to the friendly and entertaining Guides. The sun was harsh, so it might have been good to point at a parasol. I didn't see many of them in Tashkent, but Bukhara saw a number of locals with parasols.
All the buildings I visit are within walking distance, but it's so many and wonderful that I wanted to stay overnight.
It was also good to know that the Guide was able to hold the key points while also showing us the angles at which the buildings and scenery looked beautiful.
On the way back, we fly back from Bukhara airport. It was about an hour's Flights. After parting ways with the Guide, I had a taxi driver drive me to the airport and boarded.
At Tashkent airport we were joined by the taxi driver and Guide who were there to pick us up and returned to our hotel.
Depart from Hotel 7:30 - Arrive at Hotel 22:30
Lunch available
No dinner.

Excellent - Excellent organization and team was reachable on WhatsApp all the time. Ali was very helpful with the transportation and timing. Aziza was a great guide for me in Bukhara and went out of her way to show me more places and tell me more interesting stories. The lunch at Chinor was amazing. Thank you!

A beautiful excursion - The tour was absolutely great organized!!Ali picked me up from the hotel on time and accompanied me to the train!In Bukhara I was picked up directly at the train station of Sunny.A very competent and friendly tour guide!
It was a beautiful day, despite the heat. Back we went by plane and Ali was already waiting for me in Tashkent and drove me straight back to the hotel.
I can only recommend this day trip

Bukhara 💙 - Beautiful country and has many interesting and beautiful gems. The culture was wonderfully narrated by our experienced and heartwarming guide Dilfuza. She went above and beyond and did not make it feel like robotic guided tour. We had fun together.

Bukhara - Bellissima Bukhara. Good and prepared the local guide for a pleasant walking tour of the city to discover the most interesting points. Too bad for the return transfer not up to standard

Educative and informative trip. - Again a very historic place with an ancient fort, mosques and madrasas. It was a seat of learning during ancient times which was impressive. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made our visit very educative and informative.

Stressful - I was told I'd be met at Bukhara with a sign GotoUzbekistan. I wasn't. 15 mins of stress and hassle from taxi drivers. Very unpleasant. Tour itself was very interesting though I felt we missed some buildings by going into shops a lot. Flight back went fine except on arrival at almost 21.00 after long day, GotoUzbekistan rep not there to collect me as promised. His phone number not recognised. After waiting almost 20 mins (alone except for 2 taxi drivers) I gave up and took a taxi. Again very stressful. Very badly managed tour.

Bukhara Disappointment - Avoid this company and do not book. I spent £270 and expected great service. I was not met at Bukhara as promised, but 15 mins of stress with local taxi drivers before the right one deigned to make himself aware to me. Local guide lovely but took her time and I missed some other sights because she was focussed on shops and museum. Duly got flight back to Tashkent and not met at airport... 9.50 at night and again all hassle from taxi drivers. I gave in at 10.05 and paid to go back to hotel as I had no idea where I was and didn't want taxi drivers to give up and then what? Apparently GotoUzbekistan pitched up at 10.15... but their phone number was never recognised and no way of knowing. Totally unprofessional. Never an apology or explanation. Horrendous company.

That sucks! - The journey never began. At 6 a.m. on the same day of the trip, I was informed on the phone that there was no room on the return flight. I was offered to return the next day, but this was impossible. The problem arises from the fact that these gentlemen book the day before, if not the same day, the train and/or plane journeys and this can certainly lead to not finding a place. I paid 320 euros for this private excursion without taking part!I informed Viator and am still waiting for something to be told. What a bad impression!! I am still waiting for the refund, and if this does not happen, I will proceed with all the means at my disposal, including international ones. Avoid this experience at the moment!
