Fayz was a very knowledgeable guide and his style of storytelling was very engaging and captivating! He showed us all of the important places in Bukhara, told us about the history of trade here, shared very interesting facts and places we otherwise wouldn't have noticed and also answered all of our questions regarding both historical facts as well as modern life in Bukhara. We absolutely enjoyed the tour and the hours just flew by, highly recommend!

“Je recommande à 100 % !”

Le tour avec Fayz était exceptionnel ! On comprend rapidement que c’est un guide passionné, qui a envie de transmettre son savoir et répond à toutes les interrogations avec plaisir ! Le contenu du tour est super, et ne se cantonne pas à des “simples”explications sur les monuments prisés de Bukhara ! Je recommande à 100 % !

“Best Walking tour in years”

Fayz gave us a wonderful 3,5 hour tour through beautiful Buchara. He managed perfectly to blend history knowledge with description of daily life and culture in Buchara. Big recommendation for all visitors of Buchara! For all the German speakers: Fayz spricht auch ein wenig Deutsch und begeistert sich für Deutschland, sodass wir an einigen Stellen Parallelen und Unterschiede zwischen Usbekistan und Deutschland ziehen konnten.
