My tour of Bukhara was the highlight of my trip to Uzbekistan. My guide, Lola, was arguably the best tour guide I’ve had the pleasure to sightsee with. She had an exceptional knowledge of the history and landmarks and her enthusiasm of the subject matter was infectious. She tailored the tour to my interest and was extremely patient as I nerded out taking photographs. I so enjoyed my day with her and hope to get her as a guide again on my next trip to Uzbekistan. The tour was effortless with hotel pick up and drop off. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Well worth it!!

6. One Day Tour to Khiva
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 1 reviews
Khiva is a unique and magic city that is usually called as Open Air Museum as most of the monuments are UNESCO-protected. Khiva’s somewhat inconvenient location means many skip it altogether, but we’d consider it an essential part of Uzbekistan’s Silk Road story wrapped up in an enchanting, pocket-sized city. If you’re pushed for time, the most impressive sights can be ticked off in a day. On this one-day tour, it’s easy to imagine the ways that merchants must have walked through the same streets as you yourself take this walking sightseeing tour of Khiva.
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, *Air tickets Tashkent – Urgench – Tashkent (Economy class)*;, * Sightseeing excursion with a certified guide., * All entrance fees to the museums as specified in the program;
Exclusions: Lunch, Dinner, Personal expenses

Made a last minute booking (during low season) and was promptly set up with an itinerary, including transfer to/from my accommodations in Tashkent as well as train tickets to/from Samarkand. I was initially hesitant about doing a guided tour as opposed to exploring on my own but I'm glad I did! Muftana provided so much information about the history of Uzbekistan and the sights we were seeing. I wouldn't have been able to know any of that if I toured by myself. We also stopped for a delicious lunch of samsas!

Let's make the tour together. Let's co-create it. The listed itinerary is template based, and the uniqueness of the tour is that it can be adjusted: any other city or site can be added and at the same time any city/site can be omitted.

Many more activities like horse/camel riding, masterclasses on food/crafts, religious pilgrimage, living in houses with local families are offered.
