Perfect way to explore the old town. Our guide Madina is awesome. She’s professional, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable. I’d totally recommend taking the tour with Madina.
Shohruh was a wonderful guide: very well informed, very adaptive to our pace and interests and also super kind and engaging with our girls. I warmly recommend him for any group curious about Bukhara!
It is a city of mysticsm, history, philosophy and deep hospitality with the treasury of full infotmation. I m pleased with the tour since every information that my tour guide gave me I learned new perapectives and widen my knowledge about Uzbekistan.
Madina did a great job with our tour! We toured for 3+ hours many of the old sites around bukhara and she was well prepared to answer all of our questions.
Marina gave us a private guided tour of Bukhara. The tour was well balanced, offering a great mix of historical and societal insights. She is a friendly, knowledgeable guide and speaks good German. We enjoyed the experience very much. Thanks Marina!
Very friendly, approachable guide. He adjusted our tour as needed for my family member's physical limitations. I would have enjoyed a little less technical history and more stories, but Im not going to count that against the guide. I didnt say anything during the tour so that's on me. It was an excellent private tour where we learned alot and saw alot. I would recommend this tour to other travelers
Very pleased with our tour guide and owner Shohruh. It"s a private tour so he met us at our hotel next to the Lavbi Haus. On time. Very knowleagable on the details of each attraction. Very enthusiastic. Showed us where we should shop, made recommendations of local cuisine restaurants. Besides the local language speaks Japanese. Lived and studied in Japan for several years. You can't go wrong getting Shohruh to be your guide in Buhkaro. His company also arrangea tours throughout Uzbekistan and cental Asia.
Well paced city tour Knowledgeable and friendly guide Bukhara is stunning and magical Definitely recommended visit
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, who made the outing both informative and thoroughly enjoyable. His warm, personable nature was evident right away, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for the whole group. Throughout the tour, he shared a wealth of historical knowledge, weaving together fascinating stories and details that brought the destination to life in a way that a guidebook simply can't. What made the experience especially enjoyable was his natural sense of humor — light, genuine, and perfectly timed. It kept us engaged and made the time fly by. You could tell he truly loves what he does, and that enthusiasm was contagious. This is the kind of tour where you leave feeling like you've actually learned something and had a great time doing it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality, memorable experience.
Madina was very nice and very competent, she showed us the city. She speaks perfect German and could answer all our questions - you can tell she knows her stuff.
