Review of Bukhara’s $26 small group walking tour, covering major monuments, local crafts, practical tips, pacing, guides, and value.

“The tour was quite encompassing! All the things Chat GPT planned for me were included in the tour. Great group of people to tour with. Our guide Guli, was amazing! She had so much information, answered all of our questions, gave good suggestions, and had plenty of energy considering this is such a busy time of year. Guli deepened my respect and admiration for Uzbekistan and Bukhara specifically. I have taken a lot of tours; this one was great and definitely worth the money.”

Review of a two-day Bukhara yurt camp trip to Aydarkul Lake, with camels, desert sunsets, roadside sights, meals, and practical advice.

“Other than the transportation, it was not a good experience, to say the least. There was nothing to do there in that freezing cold dezert, the facilities were rather poor and the food was mediocre at best. There was actually no guidance at all, as soon as we got to our yurt we were left alone. The yurt was shabby and depressing. We were so happy and relieved when it all came to an end on the following day!”

Review this private Bukhara hammam with steam, scrub, foam bath, massage, tea, and sweets for $67 in a one-hour cultural experience.

“Some confusion at the meetup were unsure of being at the right place for some time. The steam room, (too) hot marble slab and vigorous scrub were as expected, the firm massage too. Slightly surprised to have a male attendant / masseuse, and felt uncomfortable as others walked in and out between rooms. Dislike shown at the buckets of water being thrown over my head were ignored.. but it was an experience indeed, neither being offensive nor uncomfortable to a level of wanting to leave, but one I will not need again..”

“What a wonderful experience. Nobody else booked on our tour so it was just the two of us. We had the impression, with our guide and driver, that we were just hanging with some local friends. So many magical moments, from driving through the desert at full speed blaring music, to the beautiful sounds of traditional music under the stars at the yurt camp, to meeting the old lady at the desert village whose quiet peace will inspire you. These moments will stay with us for life. You will not regret booking this tour, indeed you will fall in love with this beautiful country and its warm hearted people, as…”
