Free walking tours in Duschanbe

Highly recommend. I so enjoyed my tour with Mahmadjon. He is genuine, friendly, and accommodating. I also went on a second full-day tour to Iskanderkul with him. He went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable experience, making extra stops along the way and encouraging us to eat local food and meet the villagers.

Ardasher is a very good guide. The route is interesting and it includes a lot of beutiful buildings and places. You can take the route even in a hot day, because most of it is under the shadow of trees.

Die Tour mit Mahmadjon war ein voller Erfolg. Alles war bestens organisiert, da wir nu zwei Gäste waren, hat er uns sogar am Hotel abgeholt. Schon die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war sehr angenehm und dieser Eindruck blieb auch so auf der ganzen Tour. Wir haben viel gesehen, auch viele Informationen über Land und Leute bekommen und uns dann sofort entschlossen, weitere Touren, z.B. zum iskanderkul mit Mahmadjon zu unternehmen. Er hat unseren Aufenthalt in Tadschikistan zu einem besonderen Erlebnis gemacht. Danke für Alles!

I was the only one taking the tour on that day, we walked main attractions and Ardasher shared the historical background and information. What made me a bit upset is about the experience I had in the public library. Ardasher mentioned about the tour in visiting the library is free upfront, then he hand over the tour to the library officer when we arrived. After the visit, the library officer asked for money and I thought it's normal to give for a tips. After we left the library, Ardasher asked for the case and question why I gave money as he stated the library is free of charge. To me, if he stated clearly that there's a potential for library officer in asking for tips which I should ignore, then it would be much better as I'm definitely not aware for this chaos will happen in this place. In addition, we spend 1/3 or 1/4 of our time in public library which I thought it's too much while the walking tour last for 2 hours only.

great trip from dushanbe for a couple hours!

Mahmadjon is an awesome guide + driver. He is fluent in English hence, easy to communicate with for non-local travellers and/or tourists. He has a profound knowledge about the history of Tajikistan, and able to provide information and details a traveller need to know about the points of interests. I would definitely recommend him to someone who plans to visit this Central Asian country.

Interesting tour to the Hisor Fortress

Very interesting tour through Tajikistans hisotry and Tahisktian today through a 2 1/2 hour walk through Dushanbe. Ardahser knows what he is doing and gave lots of more ideas what to explore in the city.

Ardasher was great and very kind human. He has excellent knowledge about Dushanbe and Tajikistan and his English is perfect. He love his country- Tajikistan and proud of having like this beautiful country. Ardasher organised city tour for me that I did not feel how the time is finished. It was fantastic. I highly recommend city walking tour of dear brother Ardasher to everyone who interested to city walking tour. Also Ardasher can organise other cheap and budget tours to Iskandarkul Lake and other parts of Tajikistan. I also enjoyed one day tour from Dushanbe to Iskandarkul to Dushanbe. Thanks dear brother. I hope see you soon again in you beautiful city Dushanbe again. Warmly recommend his service.

Guide was so kind & spoke English very well. This tour is very helpful for me.

We very much enjoyed the tour and would recommend it. We liked the energy of the guide and learned a lot about the historical side of Dushanbe. The tour wasn't too long, which was good given the heat.

I’ve done a lot of tours with GuruWalk already, but this one has to be the best so far! Mahmadjon was all I could have asked for, really kind, a lot of knowledge about Hissor, but also about Tajikistan and every other question I had, and he also spoke the best English I’ve encountered in Tajikistan so far! So a 100% recommendation from my side, I had a great time with him!! 👍🏼

Ardasher was very enthusiastic & knowledgeable on the town of Dushanbe. I was on the tour on my own and felt that it was rushed but being in a group situation, I think this is where Ardasher would thrive.

Es hat sehr Spaß gemacht, ihm zuzuhören. Ich habe viele Eindrücke von der Stadt bekommen, die ich selbst mit der Geschichte dahinter nicht so nah erlebt hätte. Ich kann es auf jeden Fall nur herzlichst weiterempfehlen.

Super nette und flexible Guide. Er hat uns sogar in die National Bibliothek begleitet, was nicht in seinem Program stand.

Had a great tour of Dushanbe! Cannot recommend this your enough!

It was a really great tour. We love Dushanbe and have no hesitation recommending this tour. Our guide was excellent!!

This tour was a great way to get to know Dushanbe, especially for a first-time visitor. Ardasher was friendly, professional, and shared a lot of valuable context about Tajikistan’s history. He took us through the city’s key landmarks with detailed explanations and added some interesting stories along the way that helped bring the city’s history to life. He was happy to answer questions and even gave us tips on local spots to check out after the tour. It felt like walking the city with a local friend. Would definitely recommend!

Unsere Tour durch Duschanbe war absolut großartig! Unser Guide war äußerst kompetent, freundlich und hat uns die Stadt mit viel Begeisterung nähergebracht. Die Erklärungen waren informativ, gut verständlich und mit interessanten Anekdoten versehen. Dank der perfekten Organisation und der persönlichen Empfehlungen hatten wir ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Ardasher is a very friendly and informative guide. In the 2 hours tour of the city center, I learned a lot about Tajikistan's history and culture. I highly recommend this walking tour!

Ardasher met me at my hostel as I was the only person on the tour as it was super low season. He was throughly engaging and a really knowledgeable person. His route lets you take in what Tajikistan and Dushanbe has to offer. The only disappointing thing about Dushanbe is the fact that I am not spending more time here.

I especially liked the extra free tour of the national library that he included. It was very interesting!

To be recommended, very friendly guide, very enthusiastic about his city, happy that we booked the tour. Guru should allow more people to participate

He’s a lovely guy who is passionate and knowledgeable about his city.

Great and informative tour with Ardasher, who is an excellent, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide.
