nice tour

Bakhram loves his city and his job. He is very helpful also repeating for people with a poor English like men. I highly recommend him. The tour was really interesting to have a first view to the beautiful Khiva

¡Excelente tour!

Bakhram es un guía con enorme conocimiento, no solo de Khiva sino también de Asia central. Habla muy bien inglés y tiene una forma de guiar en la que te hace pensar y ayuda a recordar la gran cantidad de datos mejor. ¡Muy recomendable!

Tip top tour

This tour was one of the best I ever took. I already knew the guide was great, since I took another guided tour with him the day before, but I must admit, this tour was even better. We had a lot of fun, learned so many new facts (I think it was mutual) and again I couldn't believe the time was already over (we spent about 4 hours together). Moreover I had the privilege to benefit from 2 guides (a very smart apprentice), which I truly enjoyed and I hope to take the tour again in future! Thank you for your time and effort. Rahmad and chair. :)

Great tour

Bakhram did a great job in showing us the city, telling about the history and answering my questions. His recommendation to attend a tightrope dancing show was also very good!
