Hi, I’m Bahtiyor Shovkat! I was born and raised in Tashkent, and I truly enjoy showing the beauty of my city to visitors. I speak English and Japanese fluently and love sharing the rich culture and history of Uzbekistan.
On this tour, we’ll explore both the old town and the modern parts of Tashkent. You’ll discover historical landmarks, Soviet-era architecture, and vibrant city life. Along the way, we’ll talk about Uzbek traditions.
The tour was enjoyable and very informative. It was more engaging than I expected. You have the opportunity to travel like a local and connect with locals, especially in the bazaar. Bahtiyor is a well-educated and polite man who enjoys his job and sharing his country with visitors (not all guides in Guruwalk are like that).
This was one of the best tours I've done through Guruwalk. Bakhtiyor was an excellent guide, took us to lots of different places and gave us a lot of information which was both interesting and fun. 100% would recommend.
Had an amazing tour with Bakhtiyor! He took us around both old and new Tashkent and really brought the city to life. You can tell he's genuinely passionate about Tashkent's history, he made everything so interesting! He was super responsive to our questions and just really nice throughout. We enjoyed every minute of it. Definitely book him if you want a great introduction to the city!
We had a great time with Bakhtiyor during this tour. He is very knowledgeable and explained a lot of cultural aspects about Uzbekistan to us very patiently. The visit to the bakery, Chorsu market and Besh Qozon were the highlights of this walking tour for us. Bakhtiyor ensured that we were comfortable throughout the tour and patiently answered all our queries. We will highly recommend taking a walking tour with him to everyone who is visiting Tashkent.
