Description

Dynamic and fun walking tour of the Soviet and Old Tashkent in which we are going to:
✅ The World's oldest Quran in a completely new revamped setting!

✅ See the religious heart of the original Old Town of Tashkent
✅Learn the mysterious connection between Brazil and Tashkent 🇧🇷 
✅ See some of the most beautiful metro stations in Central Asia 
✅ Learn more of the first and the only Uzbek Soviet cosmonaut 
✅ Venture down the rabbit hole and learn the origins of the Uzbek language 
✅ Take a gastronomic walking tour of one of the oldest bazaars in the city 
✅ Learn the role of Tashkent on the Great Silk Road
✅ See the proverbial crossroads of cultures!
🥖 Finally, take part in a FREE bread-making masterclass (subject to the availability of bakers)

❗️ Important: we are back to the Khast Imam square (the religious heart of Tashkent) with the World's oldest Quran and a completely new and revamped Center of Islamic Civilization.

The approximate tour duration is 2:30/2:45hr with the refreshment stops on the way. BYOB in Spring and Summer!

‼️ Please note that while it is a free pay-what-you-want tour at its core, I’d appreciate 15$ (200.000 so’ms) per person in min. contributions due to the duration of the tour and the associated costs on the way.

With more than 10 years of guiding and interpretation I have a very outgoing and engaging personality. My excellent command of languages helps me to build on my advantages and make your travel experience in Uzbekistan truly unforgettable. Being a native of my Tashkent grants me a unique advantage in dishing out engaging and yet simple anecdotes that will leave you with the best memories of your time here 🙂 NB: All bookings are confirmed by default unless I contact you well in advance.
