Hello dear friends! Welcome to the land of turquoise lakes and mountains of Tajikistan! My name is Ardasher! I was born on February 17, 1995 in one of the most beautiful villages in Ruknobod, which is located in the Zarafshon Valley, in the city of Panjakent. I graduated from the National University of Tajikistan, and now I live and work in Dushanbe. I have worked as a tour guide and provider since 2013 throughout Tajikistan. My work experience began as a guide-interpreter in some travel companies. The reasons for choosing this profession grew in my heart, when I used to study at school. Also, my birthplace Ruknobod is in a place where a lot of foreign tourists visit, I used to have a shop in the center of the village and when tourists asked me about recommendations, I would happily show them, inform and help them. The other reason for choosing this activity is my father, he is an English teacher and during the summer holidays he used to work as an interpreter for travel companies. He invited a lot of foreign tourists to our house, so he used to try to speak English with them. I like to meet new people of new cultures, traditions and different places of interest and historical importance. I also like to know more and more about the geography of all the countries in the world, especially about the geography of my country, Tajikistan. I speak Tajik (my mother tongue), English and Russian. My goal is to provide and organize a unique and best quality service for everyone.
Ardasher is a very good guide. The route is interesting and it includes a lot of beutiful buildings and places. You can take the route even in a hot day, because most of it is under the shadow of trees.
I was the only one taking the tour on that day, we walked main attractions and Ardasher shared the historical background and information. What made me a bit upset is about the experience I had in the public library. Ardasher mentioned about the tour in visiting the library is free upfront, then he hand over the tour to the library officer when we arrived. After the visit, the library officer asked for money and I thought it's normal to give for a tips. After we left the library, Ardasher asked for the case and question why I gave money as he stated the library is free of charge. To me, if he stated clearly that there's a potential for library officer in asking for tips which I should ignore, then it would be much better as I'm definitely not aware for this chaos will happen in this place. In addition, we spend 1/3 or 1/4 of our time in public library which I thought it's too much while the walking tour last for 2 hours only.
Very interesting tour through Tajikistans hisotry and Tahisktian today through a 2 1/2 hour walk through Dushanbe. Ardahser knows what he is doing and gave lots of more ideas what to explore in the city.
Ardasher was great and very kind human. He has excellent knowledge about Dushanbe and Tajikistan and his English is perfect. He love his country- Tajikistan and proud of having like this beautiful country. Ardasher organised city tour for me that I did not feel how the time is finished. It was fantastic. I highly recommend city walking tour of dear brother Ardasher to everyone who interested to city walking tour. Also Ardasher can organise other cheap and budget tours to Iskandarkul Lake and other parts of Tajikistan. I also enjoyed one day tour from Dushanbe to Iskandarkul to Dushanbe. Thanks dear brother. I hope see you soon again in you beautiful city Dushanbe again. Warmly recommend his service.
