Great tour with an experienced tour guide - It is an excellent tour with an experienced guide. I learned a lot during the tour. It’s enjoyable when you visit a place, and you know its history. Shahrouh is very knowledgeable about all the sites. It’s good that the tour also included a pick-up and drop-off at my hotel.

Amazing tour, really knowledgeable guide! - Amazing tour, we learnt so much about Bukhara from Shohruh. Our guide Shohruh had so much indepth knowledge about history, culture, politics and was so wonderful at weaving these insights into his tour. We really enjoyed learning more about Uzbekistan and Bukhara with him, so much so that we booked another tour with Shohruh the following day to visit the sites that were outside the old city. We would really recommend that tour to those who wants to learn more about Islamic history, see a wonderful summer palace, learn more about ancient and modern life in Bukhara. Look forward to re-visiting someday soon! Thank you Shohruh!

Had a great introduction... - Had a great introduction to Bukhara by the wonderful guide Madina. She was very knowledgeable, able to answer my many questions and was the loveliest person as a solo traveller to spend the time with. Provided important context to not just the history, but also the culture of this magical city. Highly recommended.

Great experience! - We booked this tour from one day to the next and Madina was so kind to accommodate us into her schedule. She is such a knowledgeable guide, born and raised in Buhkara and has so much information to offer as well as that particular touch only a true local can give you. We had a wonderful time in this tour. You won’t regret it!

Bukhara - Our tour guide, Saodq was very knowledgeable. He can speak five languages fluently. We travelled during the Ramadan month and he must have been hungry and tired, yet he was enthusiastic and cheerful. He brought us to a fantastic restaurant in the countryside, Kafe Chorbakr Temur OTA. We tried the chicken was so tender and flavourful. Thank you for showing us a great time

Unforgettable day tour in Bukhara with Madina - Our guide Madina made this tour amazing! We saw all of the old city, with Madina’s knowledge of history, culture, and discussion of past and current Uzbekistan. It was so informative and interesting. The puppet shop made us laugh tremendously Medina also gave us recommendations to visit the Jewish area and local restaurants which added to the experience
