1.00We booked the walking trip way in advance, just to find out this trip is a scam. We tried contacting the guide the day before and before the trip for confirmation, but the number "does not exist". There were no other contact methods, such as whatsapp, telegram nor in-app. There were only email confirmation from Trip Advisor but not the supplier. We arrived at the meeting point on time (0800 local time), and there was no guide. We are still at the meeting point. We requested a full refund and will file a complaint
A solid guided tour.

4.00The tour was good and the guide was knowledgeable. Sometimes felt a bit scripted and not very personal. Overall worthwhile having the tour to appreciate local details.
Khiva is a great place to walk around. Great tour.

5.00The old town within the city walls is fairly compact but with a lot to see so is absolutely ideal for a walking tour. It can get very hot but the pace of the tour is good and there are so many things to look at and to hear about that you are distracted and the time flys. Would recommend.
Exploring Khiva with a Great Guide!

5.00We 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.
A great tour guide

In-depth Ichan Qala tour

5.00This 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.
Good tour guide
