We came as a family for just a couple of days, Deela was approached on a recommendation. It's a really professional Guide, we started in the city centre at Laby House and at every landmark we went on to learn historical data, legends and current history. It wasn't just a field trip, it was a stroll through the city with a very soulful, friendly conversation on the same wavelength. We loved it madly, remembering fondly this day that flew by like an instant. Deela told me that one ticket allows three days of multiple visits to the Attraction he belongs to. And she told us where the pilaf was delicious, and it was only thanks to her call that we managed to taste it, as we arrived at 2 p.m. in the center of the pilaf. When I had to travel by tuk-tuk I traded the price twice the fare for tourists.
Already recommend Diel to family, friends and acquaintances :-)

The tour was really great! Our guide knew so much about the city and its history. Bukhara is already an extremely beautiful city but it's such a big plus to have a knowledgable guide who can explain you why the city became what it is. Absolutely worth it!

She is an incredibly passionate, knowledgeable and well spoken guide, especially at the tomb of Hazrat Naqshband which was very important for us. She went the extra mile by showing us sights that we would have otherwise missed, and we had many interesting conversations. She also took us to an osh (plov) restaurant which locals go to and we had the best osh ever. Thank you very much!

The Best of Bukhara: Private Old Town Tour is a must-do activity to explore the rich cultural and historical heritage of one of Uzbekistan's most fascinating cities. You'll visit iconic attractions, witness the art of carpet weaving, and sample delicious local cuisine, all with a knowledgeable guide Shaxlo. Highly recommended for a short and sweet exploration of Bukhara!

Gulnaz was a fantastic tour guide. She has deep knowledge and is a very enjoyable person to spend the day with during the tour. This tour was a great opportunity to see the main attractions of Bukhara in a short period of time.

Great day tour and the weather was perfect. Gulnoz is very friendly guide, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle and I had to cut the tour short due to painful foot. Will definitely recommend and use again in the future.

Manzila was absolutely amazing - she was so knowledgeable on the history of Uzbekistan and one could really tell how passionate she was about her country and culture. We spent a lovely 6 hours with her and would highly recommend her for a day tour of Bukhara
