Sukharab is a top notch tour guide for the Kalas around Khiva. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Uzbekistan history, history, legends and stories about the Kalas. To prepare his tour, he visited and interviewed local seniors, this enables him to have a deeper understanding of history than other local guides. Sukharab used to work for an American company, his English is fluent- one of the best English speaking tour guide I have met in Uzbekistan. In order to provide his guests satisfactory experiences and meets all kinds of needs, Sukharab only takes one tour a day. Unlike many reckless Uzbekistan drivers, he drives carefully and smoothly. Safety is always his top priority. We had a great time with Sukharab. He’s highly recommended if you visit Khiva or kalas close to Khiva. Also he’s friendly enough to arrange us car to Nukus from the last kala directly to safe time and travel distance. Mr. Sukharab can also arrange travels to Turkmanistan and he’s a true one-stop solution for your Karakalpakstan experiences.

Photo Tour that uses an AI generated photo to promote themselves, well done guys !! I don't think it looks very inviting to book, to be honest.

Sukhrab was an excellent guide. We were picked up at our hotel right on time. We were provided with plenty of water. The tour lasted about 7 hours. There was a lot of driving but that gave us a chance to talk about all things Uzbek. The fortresses were quite interesting and Sukhrab’s history seemed quite in depth. All in all, we enjoyed the tour very much.
