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!

A fascinating day discovering the history of Bukhara - Shohruh met us at our hotel, near the Old Town, where we started a fascinating tour to discover the history of Bukhara. We visited all main sites, Shohruh is extremely knowledgabele and competent, he answered to all our questions in his impeccable English. The tour actually took longer than expected because my husband and I wanted to see as much as possible, Shohruh was so patient with us we were so grateful. If you coose this tour you are going to fall in love with the city of Bukhara!

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

The best experience of Bukhara - An amazing experience in this very historic city, made even more enjoyable by a wonderful and knowledgable city guide Shokhrukh who was simple the best. I can’t express how much gratitude I have for Shokhrukh for this amazing experience. If you are visiting this ancient historical city, this is a must, ask for Shokhrukh and you will remember this amazing experience for a very long time

Two thumb up!! - Shourah, the guide picked us up from the train station exactly on time and took us around the city and dropped us at the hotel after the tour. He was very courteous and accommodating and had good grasp of history. We very much enjoyed the tour and strongly recommend it to anyone who is visiting bukhara with a guide who provides a wonderful tour at a reasonable price.

Best Bukhara experience !! - We had the fortune of engaging Madina as a guide during our Bukhara trip. We enjoyed every minute of the time we spent listening to her explaining with passion about the history of the city. She is witty and has great command over English and philology. So what you get is a real brain-tickling interaction and not a practiced set of spiel. She is very very knowledgeable about her city, giving you very enriching experience. She set very high standard for rest of our Uzbek visit and no one came close to her standards in other cities. We wish we could have engaged her for our entire Uzbekistan tour. I will recommend to hire her blindly, you will have the best experience. Hire her soon as I am sure she is destined for bigger things than remaining a tourist guide !
