My Tashkent: A Private Tour with a Local Guide
Most travel reviews and guidebooks fail to capture the true richness and diversity of Tashkent. Yet there is so much to see and discover here!
My grand Tashkent city tour is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the city’s unique atmosphere. We will step back in time and uncover fascinating, little-known stories from the history of Uzbekistan’s capital.
You will admire Islamic architecture, visit a mosque and a madrasa, and stroll through the narrow, winding streets of the Old City. We will see traditional clay houses and meet their warm and welcoming residents.
After lunch — the culinary highlight of the tour — we will continue exploring Tashkent. To experience the vibrant sounds of the city and the aromas of spices, we will head to Chorsu Bazaar. There, we will wander among stalls filled with sweets and dried fruits and visit workshops of local artisans and ceramic masters.
In the central part of the city, you will see spacious squares and grand avenues, as well as architectural landmarks of Turkestan Art Nouveau and Soviet modernism.
This extended Tashkent city tour is ideal for travelers who want to discover the capital of Uzbekistan in a deeper, more authentic, and unconventional way.
