I am Alex,  certificated local guide with 10 years of experience.

This is a walking city tour. During the excursion we will see  ancient Bukhara with an area of about 200 hectares, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Walking through the old town of Bukhara I will show you historical monuments covered with blue domes, tiles, turquoise mosaics, and traditional trading bazaars. 
 
During my tour I will tell you historical facts about Bukhara, interesting legends, about the life of people and traditions.
