Ciao! Mi chiamo Gulmira. Sono nata a Khiva e fin dall'infanzia vivo a contatto con la storia, le leggende e l'architettura di questa antica città. Ho una laurea in guida turistica e da diversi anni offro ai turisti in visita a Khiva informazioni approfondite, interessanti e indimenticabili sulla storia, la cultura e la vita locale. Durante il tour, vi farò conoscere le antiche mura di Ichan-Kala, le madrase e le moschee storiche, i cortili nascosti e le leggende del folklore. Allo stesso tempo, vivrete la vera atmosfera locale: la vita nei mercati, i piatti tradizionali e l'ospitalità della gente. Per me, questo non è solo un lavoro: è il mio stile di vita e la mia passione. Sarò felice di darvi il benvenuto nel meraviglioso mondo di Khiva. Scoprite l'antica Khiva con me!
Gulmira is clearly very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information during the tour. She went ahead with the tour even though I was the only guest booked, which other guides are not always willing to do. However, at the end of the tour, I was pressured to give her more than I initially offered, as she told me what I offered (50,000 som) was too little as it would only cover half her transport costs from Khiva to Urgench (where she lives). While I appreciate the need to cover her transport costs, I wish she was upfront about that before the tour. As I only had 70,000som on me, I had to go to the atm to pull out money to give her more. Furthermore, I do not feel the tour was so exceptional that it warranted what I ended up giving her (200,000som). I gave this amount as she made me feel guilty about both her transport costs and that she arranged care for her children so that she could do the tour. As I am a budget traveller, it may have been more appropriate for me to join another tour where the guide is not relying on me solely to give a certain amount. I would suggest to Gulmira to be more upfront about her costs so that her future guests can prepare themselves accordingly.
Gulmira made our tour very interesting and informative. I really enjoyed seeing all these beautiful places and hearing their history.
She was great, I really enjoyed. Thank you Gulmira Hanım.
Gulmira is very knowledgeable guide and very, very lovely lady. She was extremely patient, answered all my questions and helped me to understand the history and the way of life in Khiva. She even helped me to find some unique gifts for my friends. It was a private tour since no one else booked this tour that day. I was really honored to have her for my guide. Highly recommended!
