Free tours a Tashkent

Madina is a great guide- she proudly showed us the heart of Tashkent, primarily around Chorsu and shared her abundant knowledge about the places we visited. Walking through the bazaar was fun. It was overwhelming to see that many things at once, but she highlighted some cool things to check out and I found a delicious helva to take home with me! Madina was helpful before, during AND after the tour as well. Great communication and she answered questions I had to prepare for my trip. After the tour, she shared more tips and things to check out as a list which helped a ton. Tashkent is a big city with many things to do and see. A local guide’s recommendation means a lot. One thing that I did not expect was, the tour was in both English and Russian. I chose this tour since English was the only language option. I usually avoid bilingual tours intentionally because when the guide explains everything in two languages, inevitably the tour takes longer which is not time-efficient for me. But the Russian speaking group was bigger in number and English group felt secondary at times. Overall, I recommend Madina as she is very professional and a lovely person!

Everything was perfect on the tour. Our guide Donat was knowledgeable and funny in a super good way. I highly recommend everyone to explore the city with him.

Madina è una guida giovane ma molto professionale, con un buon inglese. A tratti un po’ didascalica, ma sempre estremamente disponibile a condividere aneddoti, tradizioni e curiosità sulla vita quotidiana uzbeka, oltre alle spiegazioni dei diversi siti. Ha un passo piuttosto sostenuto, ma utile per riuscire a visitare tutti i siti, un po’ lontani tra loro.

An interesting excursion. Javlon shared a great deal of information and I enjoyed seeing life outside the city. If you are looking for something different, you should take this tour.

Very humane and interesting - brought an intelligent and thoughtful perspective to the tour, and was always willing to engage in conservation about what we saw

Donat was very knowledgable local guide, if you want to learn about the soviet history and a different side of Tashkent, I highly recommend this tour

Great way to see the city! She gave us recommendations after the tour and made sure we had an authentic experience! She is very professional and thorough. You do not want to miss her tour!

Super nice tour, Donat brings interesting information in an enjoyable and fun way. He is very friendly and creates relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Great experience to kick off my visit un Uz, thanks!

Madina is friendly and a good tour guide. She is working hard at giving a good experience in this tour and I wish her the very best.

A very unique and different tour! Loved how Donat has curated this different experience from the regular sightseeing tour in Tashkent! There are still many aspects which he is developing all the way, and I really look forward to this walking tour getting more and more visitors in the days to come. All the best!

Excellent tour to start your intro into Tashkent! A must-do for anyone into walking tours. The bread-making experience was excellent!

Donat has been extremely professional and informative. While rains made it difficult, he still kept at it diligently, and even when the other guests left mid-way, he continued with just me and finished the tour. A thorough gentleman and an excellent guide!

This is probably the best guru free tour. I have done so far. Donat was not very professional, but also very knowledgeable and the stories he was telling were super engaging. He managed to tell us historical facts in curious way, and he combined culinary and food experience with historical and architectural part. Absolutely worth recommending.

¡Una experiencia increíble en Tashkent! 🇺🇿 No podríamos haber tenido mejor guía: simpático, cercano y con un trato súper humano que hace que todo fluya de forma natural. Se explica de maravilla, siempre atento, y consigue que cada rincón y cada historia sean realmente interesantes. Además, tiene ese encanto especial que hace que el viaje se disfrute todavía más. Uno de los momentos más especiales fue poder vivir una experiencia auténtica haciendo pan con los panaderos del mercado, algo que sin duda recordaremos siempre. Hemos pasado unos días fantásticos y, sin duda, gran parte de ello ha sido gracias a él. ¡Recomendado al 100%! 🙌 Muchas gracias de todo corazón, Marcos y Yolanda.

It was a great opportunity to escape the heat, we went to the mountains, we did a great hike to a mosque up in a hill, we had an amazing vegetarian snack with spinach. We experienced the local transportation. He is super friendly and caring! If you stay in Tashkent and you really want to explore the local life, please don't miss this tour.

One of the best free walking tours I’ve ever done. Donat truly offers the kind of hospitality that represents Central Asian culture. Throughout the tour, you’ll have the chance to see and experience the country’s culture in a very special way! I highly recommend it

Donat was amazing!! He was so knowledgeable about Uzbekistan’s history, taught us some Uzbek, and took us on a great walk around the city. Our experience of the bazaar in particular was so much richer and more involved with his presence. Thank you Donat!!

Great tour to end the day, quite chill and since we were just a few people it felt like a friendly walk in the city. Donat brings a personal touch to the history and have a great sense of humor which makes the tour easygoing and enjoyable

It was a fantastic day trip out of Tashkent! A great way to experience local life, with stunning views in Kumushkon and a beautiful little mosque. I’m really grateful that Javlon agreed to accompany me to the Heliocomplex - it’s a place I really wanted to see, but it’s quite off the beaten path. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring some water, as the hiking route leads uphill.

Great tour. Donat gave us a lot of information in an easy to understand and digest manner. It was fun thru our time together and the group got along well too

Brava Madina! Il tour è andato un po’ a rilento perché c’erano persone distratte che si fermavano, si perdevano, non seguivano bene ma lei è stata brava. Viste madrasa, bazar e fermate metropolitana. Tutto ok, lo consiglio

A great way to spend a sunny afternoon and learn more about non-touristic Tashkent!

Highly recommended!!

Absolutely amazing tour. Donat makes history even more fun than usual. Loved every second of the tour. I wouldn’t mind if it were longer. 10/10.

Donat was a fantastic guide with a lot of patience & energy to explain everything in good detail and also understand how to ensure the positive vibes and energy of the group keeps flowing. Definitely recommended.
