Excellent walking tour of Khiva. Our guide Nilufar showed us all the sights of the city as well as some hidden gems. A few times we were the only people at a beautiful location. Nilufar had great stories to tell about the city and its history. I definitely recommend this tour.

The guide (Maya) was great. Lots of information and very patient every time we wanted to stop and shop during the tour. They also planned our pick up and dropoff to airport and helped us to make dinner reservations. Definitely recommend doing khiva with a guide, the old city is a labyrinth of alleys and doorways.
