5.00People who love ancient ruins can be taken to places that are very exciting. The ruins are of course stunning, but more importantly, you get a 360-degree view of the landscape, which will be no different from what it was more than 2,000 years ago. The time you get the illusion of seeing the same scenery as people back then is priceless. I also liked the fact that it was similar to the Masada Fortress in Israel, which is close to the times. Finally, our guide Sukhhrab was kind and very kind. I was really thrilled that they delivered my belongings to the hotel. I recommend it.

5.00We had the most wonderful time exploring 3 old fortresses. Sukhrab was absolutely amazing. His english is super, he explains well and takes his time. He gave us amazing insight to the historia of the fortresses but also the history and current situation of his country in the super interesting conversations we had with him during the day. Private service. We highly recommend him if you want to go and check out some of the fortresses. He is also a very good and safe driver. 😊

5.00It was a one-man event, but we had a great time. It was a tour with a fixed schedule, but the guide was very flexible and helpful. In addition to the historical story at the fortress, we also heard a lot about the town and Uzbekistan in the car. It was more fun conversation than explanation, so I really enjoyed the long journey. They speak in English that is very easy to hear, so I recommend this even if you are not very good at English!
