Hisar Fortress: History, Views, and Good Vibes! - My experience at Hisar Fortress was absolutely remarkable! The fortress itself is a stunning blend of history and breathtaking views, making it a must-visit destination. I booked my tour through Bunyod Tour, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. My guide was incredibly nice and helpful, providing insightful information about the fortress's rich history and significance. His passion for the site made the tour engaging and enjoyable. He patiently answered all my questions and ensured I didn’t miss any highlights. I highly recommend visiting Hisar Fortress, and if you can, definitely book your tour with Bunyod Tour. Their knowledgeable guides and excellent service will enhance your experience and make it truly unforgettable. Don’t miss the chance to explore this beautiful landmark!

Great day! - Great tour to this fort but most of all Oyatullo told passionate about Tadjikistan that when I go back I want him again as a guide! He also makes your day worth the trip by going to hidden gems in Dushanbe!

Wonderful Guide in Dushanbe - Hokim is a wonderful guide. He’s knowledgeable, friendly and well mannered. He speaks English very well. I enjoyed his tour and also getting to know him. Bunyod as the agency was also easy to work with. They are organized and responsive. I would recommend them to those who are looking to explore Dushanbe and beyond.

Tajikistan: hidden gem - I was mesmerized by the beauty of Tajikistan. Miraliyoni was a great guide and explained to me on history and culture from this ancient silk route region. I did Hulbuk, Hissor and Iskanderkul lake tours, all of them unique and recommended. Will certainly come back.

The new fort of Hissar - The fortress is almost completely restored and looks like new. The visit takes half a day from Dushanbe, no more.

Historical site - Hissar Fortress used to be the palace of one of Bukhara's Emirate becks. The only remaining part is a monumental gate made from burned bricks with two cylindrical towers with an arrow-shaped arch between them. Be sure to check out the small museum in the 16th century Madrasah.
