Enjoyable tour in relaxing Bukhara - I enjoyed the tour very much, especially thanks to my guide Maksad. She was very professional, sweet, knowledgeable and passionate about Bukhara. Maksad also took great shots of me during the tour. I would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting.

Gain insight into Bukhara that only a local can offer - Bekhruz is the kind of tour guide who knows the lay of the land like only a local can. I admire the sheer amount of knowledge he was able to draw upon when introducing his hometown to a visitor like myself who initially lacked an understanding this city’s long and fascinating history. Do yourself a favor and book this trip if you’re lucky enough to be traveling through this awe-inspiring part of the world. And if you’ve got an extra day available, I’d also recommend booking a trip with them outside of town (titled “Bukhara Countryside Private Tour with Transport” on this platform), which nicely rounds out the experience. I promise you won’t regret it.

Great tour experience and knowledgeable guide! - Great tour and overall experience! Our tour guide, Ranu, was incredibly knowledgeable of Bukhara’s history and very welcoming of our questions. She was also very patient with us as we were traveling with a toddler, also eager to explore and adjusted the tour to our needs. We would recommend Bukhara and this tour to others!

She will make you realize the uniqueness of Bukhara - Bukhara is one of the most unique cities I have visited. Shakhnoza has made our tour there more special and fulfilling. She took us to the most beautiful places as she explained the rich history and culture for everything we saw. She is very approachable and knowledgeable. We have also asked her for recommendations for restaurants and shopping places and her recommendation have met our expectations. I recommend anyone who visit Bukhara to approach her for a tour.

Great experience - Our guide, Guzel, was prompt and courteous as she arrived early at our hotel. Our tour was thorough and educational and she afforded us the flexibility for shopping time and a relaxing coffee break which helped make the tour most enjoyable for us. She was very knowledgeable about all the history the regional and of course the wonderful architecture. I highly recommend Guzel for your English speaking Bukhara tour guide!

Excellent Tour, Exceptional Guide - We take a lot of private and small group walking tours when traveling. Our tour guide, Bekhruza, was a 5 Star guide on the Bukhara Full Day Old City Private Tour! She was very professional, full of intricate facts about the city and its history, answered all our questions, and even took us to special places not on the tour after learning our interests. We particularly enjoyed a visit to the Market, where we received many samples and purchased lots of delicious items. I highly recommend Bekhruza as a guide.

Not your standard tour - Guli was a very welcoming and knowledgeable guide. More importantly, she is an amazing human being who went above and beyond to provide me with a truly unique Bukhara experience. She clearly loves showing others around her home town, engaging with people of all backgrounds, and have a true conversation. We covered all the main sights in about 4h of walking tour around Bukhara old town. This included historical facts and figures, anecdotes, and advice on where / how to shop the best quality souvenirs (without any push to buy anything). Afterwards, she took me to a bustling plov restaurant for lunch, and filled me in on Uzbek tea etiquette. This is where the tour would have ended, after 5h total. However, since we got along so well, Guli invited me to meet part of her family and join them for an afternoon horseriding session at their local club. I won't go into the details here because this surely shouldn't be expected as part of the tour, but it goes a long way to say how open and welcoming Guli is. I had the best time and can whole heartedly recommend her if you are looking for a personable and educational experience or Bukhara.

Highly recommended to understand Bukhara - Great experience with Shakhnoza, who guided me for 5 hours around Old Bukhara, the city where she was born and lives and that she knows so good. Shakhnoza is a passionate guide, serious and well prepared, but also a beautiful person to speak whom! She explained me a lot of things about history and culture of Bukhara and Uzbekistan, answering to all my (many!) questions. Highly recommended!

day with basic historical information - very friendly guide, with decent English. The tour is all on foot. No lunch planned so you have to ask if you want to take a break to eat. according to the programme we were supposed to finish at 5pm (the tour started at 9am) but by 2.30pm we had already finished. perhaps a lot more time had been calculated in the places where he took us to visit the carpets, embroidery, engravings thinking that we were buying everything... the cost is a bit excessive but it is worth the day
