Great experience - Our tour guide gave a great history lesson about this ancient city. Totally worthy spending the entire afternoon walking around.

Utterly incredible tour: well-paced, breathtaking, but most of all, Anna Pasha is the best guide ever! - Went on an amazing tour with Anna Pasha, truly the best guide I've ever encountered. She made the Itchan Kala extremely fascinating, highly immersive, and catered directly to our interests. Finding out that one of our group is fascinated by local music, she quickly adapted our agenda to take us to a unique dance presentation within one of the local museums. The tour was extremely well-paced and she made sure we had ample opportunities for food/photo/bathroom breaks. But what absolutely sold us was her incredible expertise and wicked sense of humor. Anna Pasha's family has lived in the Old City for generations and we routinely felt that she must be the mayor: everyone we passed knew her! Also, she is a curator and historical researcher at the local mosque, so her understanding of the Old City of Khiva is unparalleled.

Khiva is a place that you must visit in Uzbekistan - We were 4 couples with a guide in a 2 days tour in Khiva. Most of the time was in Ichan-kala the inner city of Khiva which is surrounded by a wall. There is a lot to see and to be amazed by the beauty.

It was my 1st time in Khiva and i was amazed to see its beautiful and historical rich city. - Tour guide 20-30$ if you bargained you might get more cheaper. If you want to see this old town. Must book tour guide he can explain you very well if you buy 2 day tickets you can cover almost every important place.
