Free walking tours in Xiva

Strongly recommend this gentle, but professional guide who has good knowledge about Kiva , and enthusiasm and passion in his work. He is proud to be one among the few families who preferred to be inside the Fortress area and be a part of UNESCO sponsored programmes.

Genial y súper completo

Great tour with a friendly guide who speaks fluent English. Lots of interesting facts and history facts.

Excellent tour, lots of local insights as well as just the history. Good recommendation for dinner.

He was an excellent guide

Es war eine super Tour mit Farhod. Es war sehr informativ und die Dauer genau richtig:) Vielen Dank Farhod.

Die Tour war sehr informativ

Great tour, good introduction to Khiva’s history and contemporary culture of the region and Uzbekistan, and lots of laughter too. Highly recommended

Farhod was super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his hometown. He didn’t just share historical facts but also talked about how the history still shapes everyday life. At the end of the tour, he gave us some great tips on where to eat and places to check out that weren’t part of the tour. He mentioned this would be his last season guiding tours, as he’s off to Palermo to start his Master’s. Wishing him all the best for what’s ahead!

Tour meraviglioso nel centro storico della splendida città di Khiva: il giovane Fahrod è una persona di grande cultura, competenza, cortesia e capacità di raccontare storie e dialogare anche sui più svariati argomenti inerenti l'Uzbekistan e non solo, toccando argomenti storici, culturali e di costume. Dopo questa esperienza siamo usciti veramente arricchiti di un' esperienza indimenticabile.

Farhod was an excellent tour guide and gave a very comprehensive tour of Khiva. He was very engaging, answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable about his city.

Nice tour around the centre of Khiva. The guide was very professional and explained us very well all the important monuments and history of Khiva and its kingdom.

Nuestro guru Farhod nos hizo pasar un buen rato. Tenia mucho conocimiento sobre la cultura, historia y tradiciones. Recomendaría este tour a futuros viajeros.

Farhod was a fun and engaging guide, always ready to answer to any questions. He started the tour providing context about the country and the region, which was a perfect introduction to the places we visited in beautiful Khiva. You could feel how passionate he was about the city which makes the experience very insightful, friendly and entertaining. Truly recommend it!

Excellent tour with plenty of information (some very useful and practical, eg a great reastaurant or a driver contact for an amazing fortress tour). Really good, bravo! Only negative aspect, a group of Italians who left the tour before the end to spare the tip. Ridicolous.

He was very professional and knew his job well.

I've done a lot of these free walking tours and this one is one of the better ones. Farhod is both professional and entertaining with a great sense of humour. It was a really enjoyable tour and we saw lots of great places in the old town. It was really interesting to hear about daily life there too as Farhod was born inside the walls. I'd definitely recommend this tour.

Farhod was a great guide. He was a wealth of information and interesting facts. We loved that he grew up here in Khiva, so not only did he talk about the history, we got stories about real life here in the city. He answered all our questions and we learned a lot today. Would definitely recommend this tour if you're in Khiva!

Farhod was an amazing guide, he showed us the city and gave us also a lot of information about uzbekistan culture. Really really recommended.

Excellent tour through Khiva. Farhod is a local, super knowledgeable and very friendly and personable. The tour lasted about 4 hours (take a bottle of water & suncrean / sun hat!)

It has been an Amazing tour. He is Aldo reaaly kind and in love with Is city and After the tour he broight us on another tower tò have and Amazing view of the city.

Amazing tour with Farhod! We got to see all interesting points in Khiva and get to know more about them, but the highlight was definitely the conversations he had with Farhod along the tour about life in Uzbekistan!

Farhod is a nice guy and did the tour at a comfortable pace. He also answered our questions patiently and gave us tops for Khiva about where to eat, how to bargain etc. it was a pleasant experience.

Farhod is the guru of Khiva! As a local, he explained the rich history and culture of Uzbekistan in a relaxed and engaging way, it felt like chatting in his kitchen. His English is perfect too. I highly recommend him! 😊

Fazit vorweg: Auf jeden Fall machen!!! Wir haben eine dreistündige Tour durch die Altstadt Xivas gemacht Farhod und er hat uns einige der spannendsten Orte gezeigt und sehr viel Hintergrund Informationen zur Geschichte und Bedeutung der Stadt vermittelt. Dabei ist er mit seiner ruhigen und besonnenen Art immer wieder ausführlich auf die vielen Fragen aus der Gruppe eingegangen. Es hat uns sehr viel Freude bereitet ihm zuzuhören. Farhod hat uns auch folgenden Tipp für Teilnehmer gegeben: Bucht die Nachmittags-Tour, da die Stadt und die Orte wesentliche leerer sind. Morgens sind viele Touren gleichzeitig unterwegs und es kann voll werden.
