Free walking tours in Tashkent

Madina is very professional guide!

I highly recommend Donut— incredibly knowledgeable, insightful, and engaging. His quick wit and excellent sense of humor make every moment both informative and truly enjoyable. A perfect combination of professionalism and personality!

Lustige Tour, verschiedene Aktivitäten und nette Gespräche!

This was a really fascinating tour focusing on the relatively modern part of Uzbekistan/ Tashkent’s history. Excellent complement to the other tour on the old town! Highlight for me was visiting the top floors of Hotel Uzbekistan, which we would not have known to visit otherwise. Donat also gave us excellent food recs!

Good guide

Donat who likes to call himself Don was on time. He was very courteous and jolly. We covered prominent metro stations then roam around choksa bazaar while tasting local food, bread and sweets thanks to Don. We walked to musium of Islam through old town and completed tour there. We spend good 3 hours with good company of 4 other fellow travelers and excellent guru Don.

We had a wonderful experience on this walking tour! Our guide was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. He made every stop interesting with fascinating stories and local insights, and were always happy to answer questions. We entered the Uzbekistan Hotel and had a walk in the park in front of it. The tour was well-organized, engaging, and the perfect pace. Thanks to Donat, we discovered places and details we would have completely missed on our own. In his blue folder, he has many pics he uses to tell story about every place! I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. A truly memorable experience!

Great tour, very informative and fun

Donat’s tour is really something unique. We have participated in many walking tours globally, but this one is one we will remember. Donat speaks incredible English and was always prepared to go into more depth, and answer the political and cultural questions we had. He was funny and made sure we were comfortable the entire tour. As for the area, it really feels surreal being the only tourists there, as it is relatively unknown. Donat is doing a fantastic job of putting this district “on the map” — and rightfully so. If you’re interested in a unique experience in Tashkent that goes beyond the mainstream tourist attractions, you will not be disappointed with this tour led by Donat! It is marvellous that he launched this tour just a few months ago, as the professionalism was off the scale :)

Donat speaks amazing English and is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and entertaining. Thank you for introducing me to Tashkent and Uzbekistan on my first day. The tour is definitely worth it!

Javlon was a fantastic guide, very friendly and informative. The tour was very unique and beautiful, with many authentic experiences. If you have a free day and would like to explore an authentic mountainside adventure would highly reccommend.

Gracias Ruslan por abrirnos las puertas de tu país y conocerlo un poquito mas! No solo pudimos contemplar los grandes monumentos, y arquitectura típica del lugar, sino que también pudimos conocer su historia y su vida cotidiana actual. Un paseo por taskent, con un excelente guía que respondió a todas nuestras preguntas.

The Soviet Evening Tour with Donat was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of my time in Tashkent. Donat is incredibly entertaining, knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Uzbekistan and the Soviet past of the city. The tour never felt dry or overloaded with facts — instead it was the perfect mix of storytelling, humor and fascinating historical context. I actually also joined his Old Town & Chorsu tour and would truly recommend doing both tours if you have enough time in Tashkent. You learn so much while having a genuinely great evening. Thank you for the amazing experience!

I joined both the Old Town & Chorsu Bazaar tour and the Soviet Evening Tour with Donat — and honestly, I can recommend doing both if you have the time in Tashkent. The Old Town tour was such a great mix of history, local culture and fun experiences. Visiting Chorsu Bazaar was fascinating and one of the highlights was definitely getting to bake traditional bread ourselves. Donat explains everything in a very entertaining and engaging way, while also sharing so much knowledge about Tashkent and Uzbekistan. You can really tell he loves what he does. The perfect combination of education, humor and local insights. Highly recommended!

It was a great tour. The guide was very professional and knew a lot about the history of Tashken and Ouzbekisatn. It was very interesting. I highly recommend it.

A great tour that gave us the chance to explore many different parts of the city. The route was varied and well planned, allowing us to see much more than just the main sights. Bakhtiyor was enthusiastic and shared plenty of interesting information about Tashkent and Usbekistan in genereal. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a broad introduction to the city! 😊

Doing the Tashkent mountain tour with Javlon was one of my best travel experiences. Javlon is not just an excellent tour guide but also a wonderful young man and human being. Even though I was the only one on this 4- to 5-hour tour, he did not cancel it, and moreover, he spent the entire day with me. He took me to beautiful places, including a local, roadside Uzbek eatery, the mountain resort, and the mausoleum of a Sufi Saint on the mountain top, etc. Javlon and I had very interesting and deep conversations on a variety of topics, and by the end of the tour, we became very good friends. I highly recommend going on a tour with Javlon for a very memorable experience.

Donat is very professional. His blue folder of photpcopies with background information was superb and filled in lots of material I had been wondering about: such as the role of cotton in the munitions industry, hence massive production during certain periods. He was also very well informed on the history of architecture, and willing to discuss issues beyond our immediate tour. He had great rapport with everyone we met, from skateboarders to market stallholders. Very patient with questions, never seemed to rush yet kept a good pace. Wide ranging tour introducing many aspects of Uzbek history and life. I hope to book another tour with him when I return to Tashkent soon.

Tour molto dinamico e approfondito in tutti i luoghi principali della città. La guida super presente e simpatica. Assolutamente consigliato!

It was probably one of the best free walking tours I’ve been on. The tour was uniquely intimate, more like a private tour than a free walking tour. Bakhtiyor is an excellent guide, very friendly, answered all of our questions. His English was perfect. I would definitely recommend booking tour with Bakhtiyor as it’s a great introduction to Tashkent and Uzbekistan

Madina was an awesome guide, very passionate and informative throughout the tour. Learnt a lot about Uzbek culture and history.

This was one of my favourite walking tours I've done. The range of subjects, the friendly and knowledgeable guide, mix of old and new parts of this amazing city! Can't recommend enough!

Funny and knowlwdgeable guide. Recommend

Donat is a true professional. He really knows his stuff, is intelligent and humorous. A really Interesting and fun tour.

Booked this tour with Donat for the first evening we were in Tashkent, and wanted to dive into Soviet era history and stories. Donat was very knowledgeable, and made the walk very interesting, with a variety of facts and anecdotes. He was also happy to answer questions outside of the Soviet era history, which we appreciated.
