Free walking tours in Taschkent

Donat's a great, very experienced guide, wisely mixing tons of interdisciplinary, broad knowledge with fun anecdotes, and hands-on folklore: always again!

What a great way to see Tashkent! Donat was so knowledgeable and entertaining, I particularly enjoyed the folder with pictures to illustrate the history and the poems and fables he told. The bread making was an added bonus! I highly recommend Donat and this tour :)

Without a doubt, a great tour guide! Being from Tashkent, he knows how to explain and answer every detail. He also has a great knowledge of historical figures and all the dates of events. The market experience with him immerses you in Uzbek culture. Highly recommended.

This tour is great if you are interested in street art and seeing local neighbourhood life. Donat is a super knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, and provides many interesting facts about the recent history and culture of Tashkent. I had a great time and would thoroughly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Tashkent who wishes to see something beyond the standard tourist attractions.

Todo bien.

Bakhtiyor is an excellent guide, very interesting and attentive . He shares the country’s culture beautifully, and the tour is also very comprehensive. I highly recommend!

Donat is prepared and knows in details information about Uzbek arts and culture. The information given was exhaustive and the way it was given was comprehensive, intelligible and funny.

Amazing tour guide. Interesting and very well informed.

Bakhtiyor was very good at communicating before the tour including about the meeting point. He was very professional and clearly an experienced guide. He showed us a variety of places and gave interesting information. He also gave suggestions of what to see after the tour. I really enjoyed seeing Tashkent with Bakhtiyor.

Amazing guide! Vast and deep knowledge about a variety of subjects not only about Uzbekistan. A very smart, kind and and knowledge person!

If you want a guide who is professional, articulate, and incredibly fun, Bakhtiyor is your man. His tour of Tashkent was perfectly paced and very clear. His English/Language skills are flawless, and he has a fantastic sense of humor that kept us entertained all day. He turned a great city tour into a highlight of my trip. Highly recommended!

The conquest of space, the most beautiful metro stations and the meaning behind their decoration. The history of Uzbekistan, the architecture of Tashkent, the secrets of the bazaar. A short and fun bread-making workshop and a long and in-depth discussion about Italian and international football, with a cup of coffee. What more can you ask? Exceptional. Highly recommended. Message for Donat: in the end, we did go to the match (you hadn't told us the most important thing: the new coach is Cannavaro!) and also to the bar you suggested (super cool). Thanks. See you in Italy.

I really enjoyed this tour of a less touristic area of Tashkent. It felt like a true immersion in the local culture. It was super interesting to learn more about local street artists and about the history of Uzbekistan in an alternative way. Donat is a very experienced and passionate guide. I highly recommend this tour, which also complements his other Tashkent City tour.

The urban tour was fantastic, one of my favourite experiences in Uzbekistan! Donat is a great guide, he's extremely knowledgeable and gives a lot of social and cultural context, which allows you to see and understand the street art (and the city) from a very different angle. The art itself is very engaged and multilayered. Very very cool tour!

I really enjoyed the tour with Donat in Chilanzar. Instead of a typical city walk, he took us through courtyards and hidden spots, showing around 15 graffiti and murals by the local “Tashkent Banksy” — Inkuzart. Some works were already destroyed or painted over, which actually made the experience more authentic — you feel how temporary and alive this street art scene is. Many pieces are still there, and Donat adds context and stories that you would definitely miss on your own. Inkuzart is an anonymous street artist active since around 2020, known for socially charged works about topics like the pandemic, corruption, environmental issues, and everyday life in Uzbekistan. His art often sparks public discussion, and some pieces are quickly removed by authorities, which adds another layer to the experience.

Very interesting tour. Bakhtiyor was very knowledgable, friendly and his English was very good. 100% recommend !

If you are looking for the details and the history of Uzbek culture behind the exhibits, Donat is your guide. You can ask questions as detailed as you’d like, and he can provide you with context with the help of pictures and maps.

Guru Donat is a very clear history guy. Explained the history of the region, a little more than surprising to learn about the region. Presentation was made interesting with nice stories and fun facts. I definitely recommend Thai tour to know about there region, specifically Tashkent. Thank you Donat for making my first visit to Uzbekistan interesting. Srini.

Experienced and nice guide as he also provided us with lots of useful information. Thank you for the pleasant trip!

Very versatile, fun and engaging tour. Highly recommend. Donat covered food, culture, architecture, history, and much more in his tour and there was not a single moment were it was boring. He is a very knowledgeable person knows his material very well. Thank you so much!

I recently joined a Guruwalk tour in Tashkent, and it was simply perfect from start to finish. Our guide was outstanding—not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely friendly and charismatic. They managed to bring the history of the city to life with fascinating stories, making the whole experience engaging rather than just a list of dates and facts. What I appreciated most was the perfect balance between professional insights and a fun, relaxed atmosphere. It felt like walking around the city with a local friend who knows every hidden gem. If you are visiting Tashkent, do not miss this tour! It’s the best way to understand the soul of the city. Highly recommended!

Perfekt

Amazing experience with MirWaheed. For sure will return back when next time in Uzbekistan.

This was a really superb tour and one of the best walking tours I've been on. Donat was extremely knowledgeable, speaks fantastic English and brought the city and country to life for us. Would highly highly recommend!

Donat was a very knowledgable guide. He had a friendly, open manner and a good sense of humour. He was very informative about the history of Tashkent and Uzbekistan in general. Highly recommended.
