5.00What a lucky day to have Sunny crossing our paths and have a private tour with her. Sunny was an incredible guide! She was, with no doubts, the best guide we had in our 11 days trip in Uzbekistan. She’s knowledgeable, intelligent, interesting, kind. She asked our main interest and showed us Bukhara in the best way. We did history, culture, art craft and she also recommend us nice things to do the day after. I totally recommend Sunny and I wish you can be lucky as us to have her as your guide! Besides that , the company was super nice and flexible. The group tour was full and they offered us a private tour with affordable price. Was a really good experience since the beginning!
I had a great trip with...

5.00We met our guide, Yulduz, in front of the Nadir Devanbegi Madrasah. She was punctual, precise in her explanations, very nice and a great joy to be around. We walked through the Old Town, stopping in front of the historical monuments (and going inside those that were open for visitation - not all of them were because of maintenance/renovation). Yulduz shared their histories, their architectural uniqueness and fun facts with us. We learned a lot in a beautiful historical context. A big thank you to Yulduz for being such a great guide and for showing us Bukhara with that much joy and intelligence!
Great Guide!

5.00Since I was travelling with my elderly mother and young child I had informed Nuriddin to pay need to that and he did. He picked us up from the hotel and since the weather was bad and even though it was a walking tour, Nuriddin booked taxis and rickshaw for us, so my mother didn't have to walk in the rain. I really appreciate the empathy. He was extremely knowledgeable on the historical aspects of the sights to the extent I didn't even have to read the label!:) he didn't rush us and gave an excellent recommendation for lunch which we absolutely enjoyed. Nuriddin is very polite, courteous, fluent in English communication and we enjoyed our day with him. My slight concern was with the discrepancy of sites in the itinerary and the ones we actually saw. I highlighted this to Nuriddin over text later and he was kind enough to acknowledge that and has promised to cover those next time we are in Bukhara. My family and I would highly recommend Nuriddin's tour of Bukhara.

5.00Nuriddin is an exceptional guide. He made contact before meeting us to ensure he understood what we would like to see. The tour was well pitched, exactly as we had hoped, and he provided a good level of background and history to bring everything to life. He also recommended a local restaurant (away from the tourist area) and places for us to visit independently the following day. He then went the extra mile and sent a list of places that we could stop on our journey to Nurata, sending it in both English and Russian so that we could communicate with the driver. Nuriddin is highly recommended.

5.00I had a wonderful time on my tour with Nuriddin. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and went into great detail at every site and monument we visited. He personalizes the tour based on your interests to make sure you have the best experience. I highly recommend Nuriddin as a local guide, or to help connect you with experiences in Bukhara and beyond. He was always eager to recommend local artisans, restaurants and experiences based on what I was looking for. Thank you Nuriddin!
