My name is Shokhrukh, but my friends simply call me Sha — yes, just like the “Shah of Persia.” I’ve been a tour guide for Italians in Uzbekistan since 2012, and believe me, it’s not just a job — it’s a true passion. Every group is a new journey, not only through my country, but also through the stories, emotions, and experiences of the people I accompany. I’m always learning something new, meeting extraordinary travelers, sharing unforgettable moments… and of course, we dive deep into the soul of Uzbekistan together!
