“Great guide to an amazing city ”
The blend of historical information combined with the personal experience of a local guide makes this a must do tour. Shokhrukh’s approach was to take us through the old city with knowledge only someone born there could give us. Mixed with a genial dry humour and very clear language his tour was engaging and never felt prescriptive. Very impressive. We have done a lot of these free tours before but this one stands out as excellent.

“Outstanding tour in Khiva with Shok”
One of the best tours we’ve had in a long time.
Shok introduced us to his culture and country throughout the entire three-hour tour. From the very beginning, he shared key historical facts about the country, which is especially helpful if it’s your first few days there. He then took us around Khiva’s most remarkable historical and tourist sites.
The tour was very engaging, and he constantly made sure everyone felt involved. Beyond his impressive knowledge of the country’s history, what really stood out were his great sense of humour and his ability to lead a group so naturally.
We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended

“Terrific”
Sometimes tours are just are just a description of facts. Shok did much more than that. First, he was very open about his life and second he asked us alot of questions. This really pulled us in and made the tour far more interesting. I learned a lot about the country, politics, social aspects and it's history. Thank you!!

“Eine sehr persönliche Tour!”
Uns hat die Tour mit unserem Guide sehr gut gefallen! Eine lockere Stimmung, überschaubare Gruppe und Zeit zum Schauen! Alles stimmig und gut pointiert! Hier und da hätten wir uns noch mehr historische Details gewünscht! Alles in allem eine sehr schöne Tour! Wir wünschen ihm eine tolle Hochzeit!

“Fascinating facts!”
Loved our time with Shok. He was very informative with a touch of humour and a little bit rebellious! He brought old Khiva to life and was very knowledgeable about the town. He also told us about life in Uzbekistan today and some interesting facts that we didn’t know. Would highly recommend this tour. Wishing him lots of good wishes for his upcoming wedding!

“More than 5 stars for our guide Shokhrukh”
Shokhrukh is a young guide whose passion for his city is contagious. He knows every monument and every corner of the old town inside out. The tour felt far too short to me. Thank you so much.

“Great guide, but the "free tour" wasn't really free”
The tour itself was excellent. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared a lot of interesting history about the city. On content, I have no complaints.
Unfortunately, the ending spoiled it. The tour is advertised as free and tip-based, but the guide asked for a minimum of 10 euros. When I gave 10 euros for the two of us, he told me I must not have heard him properly and that it was 10 per person. I paid the extra because it was awkward to refuse, and I regret it.
We were a group of 15 or more, so at 10 euros each this was far from a small tip-based tour.
He deserved a tip, but a tip should be the guest's choice, not a fixed price announced at the end. If there is a minimum, it should be stated clearly when booking.

“Loved this tour. Great tour guide. We learned so much about Khiv”
The tour guide had excellent English and was funny as well as informative. We learned all kinds of things about Khiva and Uzbekistan that really added to our stay in the city and the country. I felt we saw the main sites but the guide left us some recommendations for what else to do and the mausoleum was particularly worth it. The pace was fast enough that we saw lots of things but not o fast that we were exhausted or felt rushed.

“A Truly Memorable Walking Tour”
I thoroughly enjoyed my walking tour of Itchan Kala with Shokhrukh and would recommend him without hesitation. His excellent command of English, engaging delivery, and clear, well-structured explanations made the history of Khiva both accessible and genuinely fascinating.
What particularly distinguished the tour was the depth of context he provided. Beyond the architectural and historical highlights, Shokhrukh offered valuable insights into Uzbek history, local traditions, and the sociocultural influences that have shaped the region over the centuries. His ability to connect historical events with everyday life added real substance to the experience.
Shokhrukh was knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to answer questions thoughtfully. His enthusiasm for Khiva is evident throughout the tour, making it an informative, enjoyable, and memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of Itchan Kala and Uzbekistan's rich cultural heritage.

“Best tour in Uzbekistan so far”
Shokhrukh was a great guide, very knowledgeable, and very interesting content! His English is also really good which is great because in previous tours, not being able to understand the guide's accent was an issue.

His personal perspective made the tour especially authentic and enjoyable. He was knowledgeable and happy to answer questions.

“Es war wunderbar!”
Unserer Spaziergang und Führung in Khiwa war wunderbar. Unsere Führung, Shach war kompetent, mitfühlend und fürsorglich, besonders für mich, die große Probleme mit zahlreichen Treppen hatte, da ich Gehbehindert bin. Wir(4 Personen ) haben sehr viel über die Geschichte von Khiva uns Usbekistan erfahren und konnten alle Fragen, die uns interessierten stellen und die waren ausführlich beantwortet. Sogar einige völlig persönliche, antwortete Schach freundlich und äußerst höflich.
Seine Führungen kann ich allen weiter empfehlen und falls ich wieder in Khiva komme werde ich versuchen seine Führung mit zu machen und anderen weiter zu empfehlen!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

“Très intéressant ”
Shokhrukh est un super guide, passionné.
Les explications sur sa ville étaient passionnantes.
De plus, c'était très intéressant de pouvoir discuter avec lui de sa vision de l'Ouzbékistan sur de nombreux sujets.
Je conseille a 100%

“beautiful experience”
Shokhrukh, even though there were only two of us, was a fantastic guide. Professional, kind, passionate about his job, and very knowledgeable about the city. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to capture the details and beauty of such a wonderful city. Thank you, Shokhrukh, you're a truly wonderful person. Highly recommended!

Shokhrukh gave us an absolutely fantastic tour! He is highly professional, friendly, and deeply passionate about the city's heritage. We loved how interactive the tour was, he made everything interesting and gave us great insights into both the history and the social aspects of the country.

“5th June Khiva Tour”
Shahrukh is young, warm, courteous and knowledgeable for a 23yr old.
The trip was easy paced.
You can get lost in Khiva with so much to see. We covered all the important places and spent a good 3 hours.
Thank You Shahrukh.
Wishing you the best in your career and congratulations once again for your October marriage.

“Worthwhile !”
Fun, interactive tour. Much better than walking around the old town on your own. I met people on the tour and had dinner and drinks afterwards. I will definitely sign up for another one.

“Great tour of all the key sights with a knowledgeable Khiva nati”
Shokhrukh guided us on an informative 3 hour walking tour around Khiva, starting with some broad Uzbekistan geography and history. Shokhrukh is a friendly and knowledgeable guide who was able to answer all of our questions about the history of Khiva as well as Uzbekistan’s culture more generally. We chose the 9.30am tour option so that it would be cooler but Shokhrukh picked shady spots for us to stand or sit out of the sun. He also recommended places for us to visit that weren’t on the tour and told us about his wedding plans which was very interesting. Rahmat Shokhrukh!
