She had so much information, answered all of our questions, gave good suggestions, and had plenty of energy considering this is such a busy time of year.

Camp fire was great to meet other travellers and share stories as well as listen to the local musician. On the way back stoping at the lake and taking a dip was refreshing! I highly recommend this :)”

“It was an unforgettable and enriching experience. We spent a lovely afternoon at Aidar Lake in the desert, then headed to the yurta camp. The staff there is truly amazing, services are essential but offer everything you need. We had so much fun in the evening, clapping, singing and dancing around the bonfire. The day after, we also enjoyed the stop at Nurata. Our guide was very friendly and flexible and made our trip very comfortable. The only downside is the fact that he did not speak English, so at some point it was a bit difficult to communicate. But that did not prevent us from having fun and falling…”

Explore Bukhara’s ancient mosques, madrasas, domes, mausoleums, and citadel on a private 5.5-hour walking tour with a local guide.

“We booked a private tour with our tour guide Guljan, just the two of us and her. It was mid-May, which we didn't realize was high tourist season, but Guljan expertly steered us around the crowds and avoided getting us stuck anywhere too noisy and crowded. Her passion for Bukhara and its history was evident - she's very knowledgable and conveys the information in a fun and friendly way. We hit all the high points and were done in time for lunch. If you book the tour, start early: it gets hot and crowded as the day goes on. Highly recommended!”

Relax in Bukhara’s ancient hammam with steam, foam bath, scrub, firm massage, tea, and sweets in a private one-hour experience.

“Some confusion at the meetup were unsure of being at the right place for some time. The steam room, (too) hot marble slab and vigorous scrub were as expected, the firm massage too. Slightly surprised to have a male attendant / masseuse, and felt uncomfortable as others walked in and out between rooms. Dislike shown at the buckets of water being thrown over my head were ignored.. but it was an experience indeed, neither being offensive nor uncomfortable to a level of wanting to leave, but one I will not need again..”

Everyone was walking on the streets, singing and dancing! So, not only that I visited the usual sites in Bukhara but also experienced a unique Festival. Because of this festival, the cars were not allowed in the old city, which for me was very good! I enjoyed the walk with my tour guide! By the way, her name was Julia and she is only 20 yrs old! She was full of energy and she has information about the sites that we…”
