Free tours a Tashkent

Schöne Tour.

Donat made the tour interesting, he was happy to answer any questions & had a good sense of humour. We learned about the history of Uzbekistan, visited a couple of metro stations & Chorsu Bazaar, where we explored the market learned about traditions & had a go at the bakery, we also sampled the bread which was delicious.

Thanks for your extra time ! Thanks a lot for the quality of your tour !!! Incredible knowledge!!!

Bakthiyor ist ein großartiger Guide mit beeindruckendem Wissen über Taschkent und die usbekische Kultur. Er hat sich viel Zeit für unsere Gruppe genommen und die Tour führte uns zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt. Für alle, die einen ersten Überblick über Taschkent gewinnen und gleichzeitig tiefer in die Kultur eintauchen möchten, ist diese Tour ideal. Zu meinen persönlichen Highlights gehörten der Besuch des Basars mit Verkostungen und einer kleinen Backeinheit sowie das gemeinsame Essen zum Abschluss der Tour. Vielen Dank, Bakthiyor, für diese interessante, abwechslungsreiche und herzliche Tour – eine klare Empfehlung!

Excellent

Javlon fantástico. La experiencia genial, muy local. Gracias

Ja, es war heiß, aber die Fahrt in die Berge hat sich jede Sekunde gelohnt! Wer das echte, unverfälschte Leben der Einheimischen miterleben möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Die Busfahrt und der Ort selbst sind herrlich untouristisch – man taucht komplett in den Alltag der Menschen vor Ort ein. Ein wunderschöner Bonus war der stopp auf dem Weg zur schönen Moschee wo man das ein oder andere finden kann, die über dem Ort thront: Ich konnte dort traumhafte Schals ergattern für sehr gute Preise ( 2-4 Euro pro Stück) Unser Guide war einfach spitze – super engagiert und voller spannender Infos über Land, Kultur und Leute. Wer ein authentisches Abenteuer sucht: Unbedingt machen!

Very interesting and funny. Donat is truly the salt of the earth!

Mirwaheed gave us the best tour I had in Uzbekistan. He was knowledgeable, and passionate about his city. He explained us the most interesting facts about things that you wouldn't even think of. He extended his time for the benefit of us and was a real pleasure to follow through off-track places. A treasure of a tour.

Javlon took us to the most amazing nature spot near Tashken. I would have never, ever be able to see this beautiful part of the Tashken area without this tour. He was such a pleasant and noble man. Don't miss this tour, it's very special!

Mirwaheed was very nice and had very interesting places and stories to shows us and tell us. It was incredible to discover this city through him

It was very interesting to learn the history about what has and hasn’t been allowed as street art in Tashkent’s recent history, as well as the symbolism in the pieces. Donat did a great job of quickly setting the historical context and then we walked through a local, beautifully shaded suburb. It is a side of the city that not many tourists would otherwise venture to. We also appreciated his restaurant suggestion at the end of the tour.

Donat was very informative guide. He also had quite few printouts to help us understand better what he was talking about. I really enjoyed our tour.

If you are someone who loves to get out of the city and see majestic mountainous scenery, this is the tour for you. The day was a fun adventure on local transport, delicious Uzbek food with a view (vegetarian and vegan options available), and then a walk through a village to first reach a mosque before a wonderful vantage point of the valley and distant mountains (still with a little bit of snow!). Javlon was extremely responsive to the needs of the group and was even able to help us get to an added stop we requested of the Heliocomplex which is nearby. It was a beautiful day out, a cool escape from downtown Tashkent, and a chance to see where the locals go when they get away for a day-trip or holiday. Two tips for joining the tour: 1. While it’s still possible with only large som notes, try to bring some small denomination som bills to save waiting for change for the transport. 2. Plan for the day to extend beyond the four hours, particularly if you know you are a slower walker as four hours is the max time that currently can be listed on GuruWalk. Javlon never made us feel rushed, and we enjoyed lots of breaks to take in the view, appreciate the flowers, browse the market stalls and catch our breath from the steady slope. 3. While water is available for purchase at stalls, if you keep a hold of an empty bottle after lunch, Javlon will show you where it can be filled with cool mountain water.

Bakhtiyor took us from the ancient story of the first Coran, to modern discussions about cultura, religión and Uzbek society. 4 hours flew testing delicacies, taking private and public transport, enjoying the view from Uzbekistan Hotel's last floor a visiting an amazing Bazaar. 100% recommended!

This was a terrific tour Donat was both entertaining, enthusiastic and informative. Could not have asked for any more.

Honestly, this was one of the best walking tours we have ever participated in! Thank you, Bakhtiyor — you made Tashkent special for us ❤️

Donat was full of life and energy! His enthusiasm for showing the history and culture of his city was so engaging and made the experience super fun. We got a glimpse into the local life as well as an unexpected bread making activity. High recommend! Thanks again, Donat

It was a sincere pleasure to roam around Old Tashkent with Donat; knowledgeable, kind, attentive; strongly recommended!

Awesome tour! The 2.5 hours flew by as we spent quite some time walking around the bazar, trying food, making bread etc. Donat is very knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend!

Awesome guide very professional!

Danat was emotionally intellegent and was active and talking to each member joined. we enjoyed the tour with him.

Donat is a great and experienced guide. His tour was instructive and funny at the same time. He answered all our questions. I fully recommend discovering Tashkent with him 😉

This was an outstanding tour around Tashkent with Bakhtiyor, he was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his country, Tashkent has much history and so much to explore and he took us to all the main sites, it also included a couple of metro rides and taxi journeys ending at the Plov centre, would absolutely recommend to anyone coming to Tashkent

It was an amazing tour. Our first and only day in Tashkent and we covered everything we wanted to see. We truly recommend Bakhtiyor for your tours!
