Free walking tours in Taschkent

We did 4 walking tours in Uzbekistan and this was our favourite by far. Donat included a mixture of historical facts, info on things were were walking past/looking at and then hands on interaction with locals in the market and info on the food and goods we were buying. We loved riding the tube with him, felt like we covered lots of ground, and he was always sharing factual/historical info and sharing info on local life. He has a great knowledge of the history of Uzbekistan. In the markets it was great to have him point out foods that were new to us and explain what they were and suggest good prices to pay. Donat was tailoring the experience to our taste as we went too, so wouldnt have lingered in one place if we weren't feeling it. He was also very helpful in catering for one member of our group who had his foot in a cast and often needed to sit down. Would definitely recommend a tour with Donat! Thank you for kicking out trip off with a bang!

I had a great afternoon with local tour guide Donat. He took me around his local area explaining the meanings behind the all the Tashkent Banky’s graffiti artwork. There were many around. It would have been difficult be to find them and fully understand the meaning myself. He was very personable, professional and nice to chat to. Thank you Donat.

This was an excellent tour with an interesting focus on Tashkent's soviet-era buildings and history. The fact that it took place at 7pm added to the experience. Mirwahead was an energetic guide and it was easy to hear what he was saying. He responded fully and candidly to all our questions, of which there were many. Highly recommended !

This was a wonderful way to see local life outside Tashkent and at the same time to escape the intense heat of the city. We went to a typical country town produce market before proceeding to the mountains for an excellent grilled lunch and an enjoyable walk to a mosque with stunning views. Javlon was friendly and engaging throughout, which made for a comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable day out. Highly recommended.

he was good! He knows everything. We really got interesting facts. The route is well planned. He also teach us how to use the metro! 5/5! Such a great person.

Donat was brilliant! One of the best guides I've had throughout my travels. Highly interesting tour especially if you're interested in the Soviet history of Tashkent. Tashkent by night is also extremely beautiful! Great pace, Donat was informative and had a great sense of humor, I highly recommend this tour.

Would highly recommend this tour! Donat showed us the variety of Tashkent. Also big bonus was tasting food on the Bazar and having a look how bread is baked here. In general I felt like getting insights. Thank you!

This is the best walking tour I’ve ever taken. The sights are dynamic, the locals are exceptionally proud of presenting the experiences (especially in Chorsu Bazaar), and, most importantly, Donat was an outstanding guide in every measure: funny, intelligent, organized, and relevant.

Donat is an excellent guide, he knows his history and has an easy going and friendly approach to his tours. I attended 3 of his tours over 3 days in Tashkent, and they're well worth booking. I enjoyed the banter and learning about the rich history of Uzbekistan 💯

Thank you. It was a great walk, I never would have found these places without her. Loved going through bazaar and interesting metro stops I never would have seen on my own. Thank you!

Donat’s tour was Zor!! He is an entertaining and excellent guide, proving a history lesson of Uzbekistan. We thoroughly enjoyed his tour, from the subway ride, bread making, and insight to Uzbek way of life. Highly recommend Donat’s tour and thank you again!

An amazing and interactive tour with Donat! The best storyteller, giving you good information in an entertaining way.☺️

I really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it. The guide, Donat, had an excellent knowledge of the city’s history and shared it in a very engaging and interesting way. His storytelling style, combined with a great sense of humor, made the whole experience both informative and fun. He also created a really nice atmosphere in the group - it felt relaxed, friendly, and easy to connect with others. I especially appreciated how interactive the tour was. It never felt like just listening: we were constantly involved, which made everything more memorable. A special highlight for me was the bread-making master class - such a unique and enjoyable experience, and a great way to connect with the local culture. Overall, a fantastic tour with a great vibe. Thank you!

Donat was so great. Really knowledgeable and we saw a lot in a short amount of time. I would definitely recommend a walking tour with him.

Madina is a great guide- she proudly showed us the heart of Tashkent, primarily around Chorsu and shared her abundant knowledge about the places we visited. Walking through the bazaar was fun. It was overwhelming to see that many things at once, but she highlighted some cool things to check out and I found a delicious helva to take home with me! Madina was helpful before, during AND after the tour as well. Great communication and she answered questions I had to prepare for my trip. After the tour, she shared more tips and things to check out as a list which helped a ton. Tashkent is a big city with many things to do and see. A local guide’s recommendation means a lot. One thing that I did not expect was, the tour was in both English and Russian. I chose this tour since English was the only language option. I usually avoid bilingual tours intentionally because when the guide explains everything in two languages, inevitably the tour takes longer which is not time-efficient for me. But the Russian speaking group was bigger in number and English group felt secondary at times. Overall, I recommend Madina as she is very professional and a lovely person!

Everything was perfect on the tour. Our guide Donat was knowledgeable and funny in a super good way. I highly recommend everyone to explore the city with him.

Madina è una guida giovane ma molto professionale, con un buon inglese. A tratti un po’ didascalica, ma sempre estremamente disponibile a condividere aneddoti, tradizioni e curiosità sulla vita quotidiana uzbeka, oltre alle spiegazioni dei diversi siti. Ha un passo piuttosto sostenuto, ma utile per riuscire a visitare tutti i siti, un po’ lontani tra loro.

Wonderful tour guide. Personable and hilarious. Loved the history lessons delivered with pizzazz. Donat speaks superb English. Special bonuses included a look into real local homes, and an exploration of the best spots of chorsu bazaar (which we had a hard time finding on our own). Highly recommend Donat!

An interesting excursion. Javlon shared a great deal of information and I enjoyed seeing life outside the city. If you are looking for something different, you should take this tour.

Very humane and interesting - brought an intelligent and thoughtful perspective to the tour, and was always willing to engage in conservation about what we saw

Donat was very knowledgable local guide, if you want to learn about the soviet history and a different side of Tashkent, I highly recommend this tour

Great way to see the city! She gave us recommendations after the tour and made sure we had an authentic experience! She is very professional and thorough. You do not want to miss her tour!

Super nice tour, Donat brings interesting information in an enjoyable and fun way. He is very friendly and creates relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Great experience to kick off my visit un Uz, thanks!

Madina is friendly and a good tour guide. She is working hard at giving a good experience in this tour and I wish her the very best.

A very unique and different tour! Loved how Donat has curated this different experience from the regular sightseeing tour in Tashkent! There are still many aspects which he is developing all the way, and I really look forward to this walking tour getting more and more visitors in the days to come. All the best!
