Guiding since 2024

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. Here you can find several of my collaborations on Uzbek food with a famous Chinese blogger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Op6w5FV0Ic&t=9s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRjl7BljfFk
