a stop along the Silk Road - Shohruh is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, we enjoyed the tour very much. He was always able to answer our questions and give additional information. The tour is very good scheduled, involves some walking, but covers all must see places in Bukhara. We can highly recomment taking the tour and enjoy the wonderful city of Bukhara and dive to captivating history of the region and the country with Shohruh.

Tour with Shoruch - Our tour of Bukhara was conducted by Shokhrukh. An erudite, tactful young man. Interestingly led the story, answered all our "silly" questions, not only on the history of Bukhara, but also on modern life and life. Thank you very much! I recommend it!

Shohruh is a G - Shohruh was a wonderful guide. He had knowledge connecting past and present in a number of ways. He was a joy to converse with, he had answers to every one of my weird questions and then some. He speaks Japanese, Russian, English, and Uzbek! I wish I could do another tour to some more remote locations. This was a highlight of my trip. Thank you.

Lovely & recommended. - Loved the evening walk with history explained along the walk. If anyone wants to enter & explore the attractions e.g. Ark of Bukhara, it is recommended to take earlier tour. My group only had the evening off hence we chose it. Guide spoke very well & had no problem answering our questions.
