5.00Our Guide Golib, was brilliant. Professional, informative, patient, accommodating, helpful and good company. Our Tashkent City Tour was really interesting, well-paced and covered a good variety of different sites, religious & official buildings, musems & galleries, so we saw some amazing architecture & the diverse creativity of Uzbekistan. Also we visited a huge bazaar & other (food & handicraft) markets plus different stations on the Metro. Starting at the main square, we covered the whole surrounding area including beautiful parks & gardens, statues, monuments & an array of tourist attractions, some well-known, others not so, with the benefit of the knowledgeable Tashkent-based guide. It was our first day / eveningin Uzbekistan & Golib made it most enjoyable & memorable. Highly recommended.

5.00Bek gathered all 11 us constantly as we wove our way through Tashkent. We learned about each sight and given plenty of time to take pictures and explore. Bek has a great personality and made our few hours together fun. We tried food in Chorau Bizaar and he made sure to have food for the vegetarians in our tour. He left us with ideas on places to go and restaurants. You’ll learn so much with Bek and have fun along the way.
Fantastic time in Tashkent

5.00Iroda was so knowledgeable about the history of Tashkent and was happy to answer all our questions. She was also very attentive to the group and checking that we were comfortable (it was a hot day) and ok to continue with the tour. Great walking pace with photo opportunities galore. The food / restaurant options were great and plentiful (there were leftovers too!). Thank you Iroda...it was a real pleasure
