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

Tour description

In this unique urban street art tour we'll explore a totally different, non-touristy part of Tashkent by unravelling vibrant and cryptic messages left by the Uzbek Banksy on the grey walls of the Soviet prefabs (panel’kas in Russian) 


✅ See the real life non-touristy side of Tashkent 
✅ Learn of the 'French connection' at the outskirts of the Central Asian city
✅ The Uzbek Banksy - does he compare with the actual one?

✅ Pop culture references - how well do they sit with a hermetic Uzbek lifestyle 

✅ Tags, bubbles and stenciling - learn of the common graffiti techniques

✅ Love, death and Amir Temur!
✅ Hot button issues associated with graffiti and graffiti-making in Uzbekistan

✅ The brief history of the urban art that traveled a looong way from NY and Detroit to the streets of Tashkent


This is your only chance to see some of the unique pieces of art that can still be found in Tashkent! The city shouldn’t be a one way conversation (c)

NB: The easiest way to get to the starting spot is by taking a metro until Novza station and walking  the remaining stretch of the road
