Posso solo raccomandare il tour con Farhod! Il suo inglese è eccellente. È entusiasta e non si stanca di rispondere alle domande. Fornisce tante informazioni spaziando dalla storia, dalla cultura al vissuto personale. Ha veramente dei bei modi e ci ha dato svariati suggerimenti sui ristoranti, luoghi da visitare, ecc.

Khiva is an absolute gem and Farhod showed us most of it while telling us about the history of the city and the country. He also shared many interesting facts about the culture of Uzbek people which was great. His English is very good and he is a very sweet and passionate about the history of his home-country.

Farhod is a very interesting guide. He shared both historical and lifestyle information on Uzbekistan and Khiva in particular. He is also funny so that the tour is really entertaining! His English is also very good. We absolutely recommend to have a tour of Khiva with him!

Informative tour and great guide for getting an intro to the sights and history of Khiva.

Wonderful tour in Khiva with Farhod ! We were a small group of 5 people and it was joyful. Farhod makes everybody comfortable in the group. He adds a lot a lively details about daily life in Khiva and in Ouzbekistan in the 21th century which are very interesting.

Shohrux was really knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of our questions taking the time to explain everything. Highly recommend his tour!

3h cargadas de historia y conocimiento del mundo islámico. Buen nivel de inglés. Hablaba a buen ritmo y nos hacía preguntas para participar. Buenas recomendaciones para comer.

Farhod is a fantastic Guide, well prepared and always happy to answer any question. The tour was fantastic and we visited the most important sites. He is very young but professional and knows a lot about all of the sites.

Farhod è una guida molto appassionata, nonostante il caldo le 3 ore con lui sono volate. Se volete fare una visita della città di Khiva, consiglio assolutamente di prenotare con lui!

Young guy but very passionate about the job and the city. Lots of information given in a complete but entertaining way. Also gave additional info about restaurants and places.

Farhod è stato incredibile! Oltre alla storia di Khiva e ai suoi bellissimi monumenti, ci ha raccontato moltissimo sulle abitudini locali, tradizioni e aneddoti. Grazie a lui abbiamo provato un pane tipico appena sfornato da tandori! Se potessi dare 10 stelle lo farei Davvero bravissimo! Grazie mille Farhod

One of the best tours,our guide was amazing,funny,informative,entertaining.

Thank you Shohrux for showing us the real Ichan Kala. The tour with Shohrux was very enjoyable, we have been lucky and were only 2 people. We walked around the sights with him for around 3h and he explained a lot and gave us some very good info. His English was perfect and he gave me the time to translate to my mum. At the end he gave us more infos about Xiva and what to do, which we did really appreciate.

Excellent tour and guide. Shohrux show us the hidden secrets of Jiva in our last stop of our trip through Uzbekistan. Totally recommended if you want to know more about Uzb, Khiva and their culture!

A Magical Tour of Khiva with Farhod – Absolutely Recommended! Taking a walking tour of Khiva with Farhod was one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Uzbekistan. From the start, Farhod greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm, and it was clear how passionate he is about sharing the history and beauty of his hometown. We began at the West Gate (Ota Darvoza) and made our way through the stunning Itchan Kala fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Farhod guided us with engaging stories, weaving history, architecture, and culture into every stop. He made the past come alive in a way that was both informative and entertaining. Highlights of the tour included the majestic Muhammad Aminkhan Madrasa and Minaret, the historical prison (Zindan) and court, and the fascinating Kuhna Ark palace, where Farhod’s storytelling painted vivid pictures of the lives once lived there. We also visited the impressive Muhammad Rahimkhan II Madrasa and the atmospheric Juma Mosque, the oldest mosque in Khiva, with its forest of carved wooden columns. Farhod also took us to the Academic Museum of Scholars, where we learned more about Khiva’s role in the region’s intellectual and cultural development. We ended the tour at the stunning Tosh Havli Palace, exiting through the eastern gate, feeling like we had stepped back in time. Farhod made sure we were well-prepared with entrance tickets (15€, valid for 48 hours), and he answered every question with kindness and insight. His passion for Khiva is contagious, and his knowledge is truly impressive. If you’re visiting Khiva, don’t miss the chance to explore it with Farhod. This tour is not just a walk through historical sites—it’s a journey through centuries of culture, brought to life by a truly exceptional guide.

Farhod was very profesional and gave a lot of information

5 stars from me! Shohrux Was a nice guy and very Knowledgeable!

Great tour. The tour guide was super knowlegable about the city, religion and in general national traditions. The tour is super interesting, the guide charming and gives you advices for visiting the rest of the city, highly recommended.

Our walking tour with Fahod was absolutely fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and shared great insights at every stop. The tour was well-paced, covering all the major landmarks without feeling rushed. He also offered great local recommendations and took the time to patiently answer all our questions. Highly recommend!"

A very calm guide will enable a relaxed but interesting tour with relevant information on monuments and Uzbek lifestyle. Recommended!

That was a very informative tour, i think i start liking Khiva much more and i would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone who wants to know more about Khiva and Khorezm region.

Great tour highly recommended

Bardzo sympatyczny przewodnik, w sposób interesujący przekazał wiedzę, podał kilka interesujących ciekawostek, dostosował tempo zwiedzania do dynamiki grupy, mówił w sposób zrozumiały nawet dla osób ze średnią znajomością angielskiego. Znał odpowiedź na każde zadane pytanie 😁 Polecamy

Tour guide was kind but found the tour slightly boring and lacking information
