Best walking tour we have done

Hi, thank you so much Fayz for this very entertaining and interesting walking tour. At first we thought 3.5 hours would be too long, but time flew so quickly! Usually I get bored after a while on these tours, but that didn’t happen here because Fayz took us to many cool places and we could sit down sometimes. Also the timing of the tour with the golden hour was perfect! We all agreed that it was the best walking we have been on!

A well informed guide

It was a good tour, covering all major attractions in Bukhara old town. The guide was knowledgeable and would give us the background when ever required. Worth the time and effort

Amazing tour of Bukhara

Fayz was a wonderful guide taking us through all the sites in Bukhara. He was very knowledgeable about the history from the Soviet Union to the ancient Silk Road. He gave great recommendations and I would highly recommend tourists to have him show you around! He was very funny and speaks fluent English and was the highlight of my trip to Bukhara.
