Free walking tours in Khiva

Our tour with Shak was great, he was a very nice and informative guy who answered all our questions. Keep in mind that you will visit places for which you need a ticket and you cannot reenter so if you want to take more time that is not possible

Big recommendation!

My husbabd and I agreed, he was a excellent guide with perfect English, loads of knowledge, very patient and very open Kemal and Mary

Gulmira's been very nice and kind also with my little daughter. She's very professional and gave us very good tips about Khiva!

Charos ci ha portare in giro per Khiva con entusiasmo e professionalità facendoci scoprire palazzi minareti stradine cultura artigianato e tradizioni di questa piccola città che è uno scrigno meraviglioso . Grazie super

We had an excellent guided tour of Khiva. Our guide spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable, and very attentive. It was much better than expected.

Gulmira is a knowledgeable local guide, we had a good time with her It seems like se knows the entire Khiva, born and raised, and everyone seem to know her :) Thanks Gulmira for a great time!

Der genaue Treffpunkt wurde kurz vor der Tour mitgeteilt. Dadurch habe ich und ein anderer Teilnehmer eine halbe Stunde gewartet, ohne zu wissen, ob die Tour stattfindet. Die Tour war kürzer als angekündigt.

We booked our guide Bonu in Khiva for the second time now – and once again it was a wonderful experience. Her English is excellent, her historical knowledge impressively deep, and she brings the city to life with the way she tells its stories. She is incredibly communicative and creates a warm, open atmosphere from the very first moment. A recommendation from the heart.

Guru molto puntuale nelle informazioni, tour interessante, livello di inglese molto buono e ci ha dato anche un buon consiglio per la cena per evitare posti troppo turistici.

We met our guide Nilufar in front of the ticket office of West City Gate, where you can purchase the entrance ticket for all the main attractions in Khiva. From the very beginning, she guided us through the city with a clear and engaging approach, sharing stories, historical facts, legends, and interesting anecdotes. Thanks to her, we were able to explore Khiva in a much more effective way. Without a guide, the city can feel like a maze, and it’s easy to miss important or unique sites among the many monuments. Nilufar helped us focus on the most meaningful attractions while also showing us hidden corners we would have never discovered on our own. In particular, we visited the labyrinth-like palace where the one of the last Khan once lived, as well as a former caravanserai, both explained in a very insightful way. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and professional throughout the tour. We truly appreciate her work and highly recommend her to anyone visiting Khiva.

Shokhrukh is a very knowledgeable guy who offered us a great tour around Khiva 's main monuments. He offered us interactive engagement and gave us a lot of information not only about the history of Uzbekistan but alsoa the current culture which made the tour enriching. Also, he has great fluency in English language. We strongly recommend him!

Although Sarvarbek was unwell and unable to attend the tour himself, he organised for his lovely driver to take me to the fortresses, gave me detailed & interesting information and checked in regularly. I felt very taken care of and had a wonderful time!

Mrs. Choras has made for us a really interesting and informative tour. Her English is excellent—proper and articulate. She's great to talk to, and she knows exactly where and how to take the best photos. I was so happy to have such a professional as Miss Charos show us around.

Shokhrukh was excellent. I really appreciated his sense of humour. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the Tour with Shaxzodabonu, and I appreciate that she did not cancel the tour because there were only two participants. What I didn't like: there was a minimum tip of 25$ for something that was marketed as a FREE walking tour.

I thought Charos was brilliant: informative, interesting and engaging. My listening skills are not the best and I managed to stay engaged with her for the full three hours! - this says a lot for her excellent communication skills.

Nice, wel educated, lovely women.

Guida molto precisa e gentile, ci siamo trovati benissimo nella scoperta a piedi di Khiva, super consigliata.

Charos provided an excellent tour around the old city, with a wealth of quality information, with historic dates and in a very comprehensive manner. She knows the old city inside out, and we really enjoyed the tour! Thanks so much

Interesante.

Very good guide, reccomended for the tour of khiva!

We had a fantastic tour of Khiva with Charos. She was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and her passion for the history of Khiva really brought everything to life. She explained things in such a clear and engaging way, making the experience even more special. I would highly recommend a tour with her

We had a great time on this tour. It was well paced and very insightful. We particularly appreciated Shokhrukh providing his unique perspective and stories beyond the bare historical facts. He was also very receptive to our curious questions on Uzbek life and culture more generally. Finally, Khiva is small but dense, and this tour brought us to a few sites that we might have missed had we explored on our own. (If you are reading this Shokhrukh, very best wishes for the future and I hope you find your doppelganger!)

The tour with Charos was fantastic. She gave a wonderful tour of Khiva and passionately shared the history of her city and the way of life and customs of its people, answering all our questions. There were only two of us, and she still managed to give us the tour. Definitely 100% recommended. Thank you so much for your work, Charos!
