Great tour in Tashkent

5.00We enjoyed this tour. It has a little bit of everything. Facts about Uzbekistan, history, metro ride, bazaar experience and Islamic complex introduction. Perfect if you are looking for a combination of experience or quick introduction to the country.
Interesting, insightful...

5.00Interesting, insightful and engaging tour led by Asrorbek, who is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Was able to cover a lot of ground by foot and public transport without feeling too rushed. The tour really helped me get my bearings and see more of the city than I otherwise would have done on my own. I would have just liked a bit more time for some more tastings at the bazaar!
Great city tour

He is very knowledgeable but also can answer any questions you might have on the city or country.

5.00This tour is perfect for those who just landed in Tashkent and needs a quick introduction to the city, country, culture etc. (in English) Asrorbek was our guide and could not do better. Your English is excellent and your patience is endless. We chose the ‘food tour’ mode that lasts about an hour and a half longer. Asrorbek took us to a couple of authentic Uzbek sites. The experience helped us choose restaurants and food on our own in the following days.
Great Intro to Tashkent!

5.00This walking tour was wonderful! Our guide Asrorbek was great and super knowledgeable about the city! Very hospitable and shared a lot of information about the history of Tashkent and Uzbekistan. Tashkent is beautiful and we loved all of the locations that we got to see. Definitely book this!
Great orientation to Tashkent

5.00This was the best tour I had in Uzbekistan. It was a fun group and fun guide who took pains to show us the best of Tashkent with engaging storytelling and local flavour. I would recommend going on a Tashkent tour with Bek on your first day in the city.
A walking tour - not quite as good as we'd hoped
HJK006,Mar 30, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00We love walking tours and generally find them a great way to explore a new city, learning a bit of history and interesting facts along the way. The reviews for this tour were excellent but our guide, although kind and helpful, was obviously less experienced and not as knowledgeable as we'd hoped. We did see most of the must see spots in Tashkent during the tour.
