Amazing tour! - We had a great time! The tour is totally worth it! Three hours were a perfect time frame for this beautiful city. All our questions were kindly answered! Be aware that you have to pay 200,000 som pro person at the entrance to the old town.

In-depth Ichan Qala tour - This was a great tour, jam-packed with information. My guide, Moxira, grew up in the Ichan Qala (her parents still live there), so she had an insider,'s perspective. Her knowledge was quite detailed. She met me right on time at my hotel and has a pleasant personality that adds to the enjoyment of the tour. Would definitely recommend.

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.
