Free walking tours in Taschkent

Had a fantastic time with Donat walking around a local neighbourhood and learning more about local customs, culture and the area in general. Street art is not big in Uzbekistan but Donat shared great insight into the artist and his art. Highly recommend for a different experience

This was a fantastic tour, giving us a real insight into contemporary Uzbek life, filtered through the perspective of an on-the-ground artistic voice. Donat is a great, eloquent, and professional guide. Generous with his insights and native knowledge of the city.

superb guide, best we had in central asia. history and experience fused together, hands on bread making. guide speaks english very well and is very charismatic. 2,5 hrs flew by like a minute. highly recommended.

Excellent walk with very varied content- invaluable historical and cultural information, great practical tips concluding with a visit to the bazaar and participation in a bread- making demonstration. Highly recommended!

Really interesting and helpful tour! Highly recommend!

Madina knew lots of current knowledge about Uzbekhistan which was interesting to hear about! She also gave a lot of lovely recommendations of things to do and insider knowledge! V cute tour :).

The meetup point was easy to find. He made sure to provide accurate instructions on where to meet and even provided some maps and photos to make sure it wss easy to find. He speaks very good English and was able to give us a glimpse of Uzebkistan's history and culture. I loved that the tour group was just the right amount and he was able to answer each and everyone's questions. It was also nice to see that he kept on meeting friends/acquaintances along the way. Best part of the tour for me is the Uzbek bread demo and having dinner together as a group at Besh Qozon (paid by yourself). Overall, this is highly recommended.

Such a beautiful tour, walking around neighborhoods you'd normally never stumble upon as a tourist, being in the midst of city life, learning about aspects of culture and politics and history. And of course Street art. I enjoyed this tour immensely and Donat is such a wealth of information and a truly great guide. Highly recommended.

Excellent knowledge, professionalism, language.. the lot! Wish other guides were like Donat.

Don is a legend. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the topic..he showed us things that you won't see in any other tour, a much more real version of tashkent..highly recommend if you want to go beyond the classic touristy stuff

Fantastic tour with Donat!

I am a nomad, and been on the road for a long time, hence i rarely join tours. Yet i thouroughly enjoyed this one. Donat quenched my thirst for my history, cultural information...etc. He answered every question and offered suggestions and recommendations. Fluent in English, we had really interesting conversations. My idea of good travel is not a list where you tick the boxes, and no matter where you go, the must sees are always the same, and so are the tours, what actually matters is how you see and experience a place and Donat was a perfect match. Highly recommended.

This was honestly one of the best walking tours we have done. Our guide spoke very clear and fluent English, which made everything easy to understand and really enjoyable. The explanations were informative, interesting and never boring. You could also tell that the whole group really liked him. The tour was well organized and we covered a lot of different parts of Tashkent. Using taxis to move between locations was a great idea because it allowed us to see much more of the city. What stood out the most was his generosity. He let us try different local things without expecting anything in return, which made the experience even more special. Thanks to him, we genuinely fell in love with Tashkent. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and will definitely suggest it to friends who plan to visit. Best regards from Germany

Un guía 100% recomendable. Habla perfecto inglés y castellano

Bakhtiyor is a wonderful guide. He tailored the tour conversations to the interests of the group, and was passionate and expressive about his country and culture. It was a very enjoyable tour. The map pin for meeting place was really helpful as the mosque forecourt is large. The tour itinerary included train travel which gave me confidence to explore the city on my own in the days following the tour. I highly recommend this tour for early in your stay so you can get a feel for the history, culture and big tourist attractions and then revisit the sites of interest later (like the Chorsu market for a good day of shopping)

Far away from the shiny and polished facades of the centre, you get an impression of everydays' life of the young generation in the capital. I was wondering if there is something like subculture - and yes, Donat showed me a lot of it. Highly recommended!

Great tour with knowledgeable and professional guide - highly recommend! 😊

It was just me so it became a private tour. Which was nice because Donat is a pleasure to be around, he's chatty and warm, his English is great and he's very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

Madina took us into the life of a someone living in Tashkent. She explained all the best places to shop at the market, all the different foods and even took us into a Mosque. Then she crafted an excellent route to show us the art and architecture of the metro stations! I am so thankful for her comprehensive tour and now feel confident in my own explorations of Tashkent. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to understand how to get around and where to shop!

Great tour of the big sites of Tashkent. My favorite thing was riding on all the different forms of public transportation: metro AND the bus! Our guide took good care of us and really explained the art works and sights in detail. I highly recommend his tour to anyone looking to further their history and knowledge of Tashkent!

Donat is incredibly knowledgeable about history, explains everything clearly and engagingly, and can answer nearly every question thrown at him. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone curious about Tashkent's Soviet past. One disclaimer worth noting: the tour is a specialized, content-heavy experience and not a general sightseeing. If that sounds like your thing, Donat is your guide!

Die Tour mit Javlon war sehr persönlich. Er hat sich voll engagiert dafür, mir eine Seite von seinem Land zu zeigen, die ich auf keiner offiziellen Tour hätte erleben können. Sehr nahe bei den Menschen im öV, auf dem Markt, keine anderen Tourist*innen. Fantastisch! 1001 Nacht im 2026 - a dream!

Exceptional tour guide in Tashkent, highly recommended especially if you stay 1 or 2 days in the city

An excellent introduction to Tashkent. Our guide was knowledgeable and easy company. Highly recommended.
