We really enjoyed our experience! Highly recommend ... Sharukh is a Khiva native, well-informed about Uzbekistan, speaks perfect English & was able to customize our walking tour to my aging parents. He also gave us great recommendations for lunch & dinner. We had a perfect day in Khiva, all thanks to him!
Shokhrukh is a very enthousiastic and knowledgable guide who learnt us a lot about Khiva and the culture of Oezbekistan. We really enjoyed the visit and can warmly recommend you to book a tour with him!
