5.00Sukhrab was a phenomenal guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. The tour was very well-paced, and I really enjoyed getting to chat with Sukhrab during the longer drives from Khiva to the fortresses and back.
Great trip

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!
Excellent excursion

5.00A perfect excursion. The landscape is beautiful, moving from fertile areas to a desert. The fortresses themselves are very interesting, you will see three in different degrees of conservation (or deterioration). However, the best thing about the tour is the driver and guide, Sukhrab, this is your company. He is a very friendly young man and speaks more than perfect English - by far the best we have known in two weeks at UZ. He knows the area like no one else and drives very well, to European taste - quiet and no dangerous overtaking. We were talking almost non-stop during the 5 hours of the tour, and he explained so many things about the country and its culture and society!

5.00Our guide Sukhrab was extremely friendly. You caught us at the hotel and have a great drive. Very kind and during the trip was taking away all our doubts. He made with us the fortresses on foot and was always giving information and curiosities. 5*

5.00I'm really glad I took part in this tour! The guides were very funny and the atmosphere was fun throughout. He is a wonderful person, very kind and always caring. They not only explained the ruins, but also talked about the history, culture and life of Uzbekistan in detail, and the conversation was lively even in the car on the way. Long journeys are never boring. I think satisfaction varies greatly depending on the guide on these tours of ancient fortresses, but this tour is a real win. If you are Japanese and are not sure if you want to join this tour, I can confidently recommend it!
Great historical knowledge and experience

5.00The six-hour tour was very fulfilling. They explained not only each ancient fortress but also the history of Uzbekistan in English, which was a great learning experience! I think the view from Ayazkara and the desert experience are extraordinary and will stay with you forever.
