1.Historical City Highlights Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 156 reviews · 4 hours · from $19Our pick

Review of Khiva’s four-hour walking tour, covering Itchan Kala, key monuments, guide quality, costs, pace, and practical tips.

“Iroda is an exceptional guide who brings Khiva’s history to life with honesty, depth, and heart. What made this tour truly unique was her ability to connect the city’s beauty with the complex realities people face today, especially women. Her stories were moving, her knowledge impressive, and her presence warm and professional throughout. I left feeling not only informed but deeply touched. If you’re looking for a meaningful and thoughtful tour in Khiva, I wholeheartedly recommend Iroda. This experience will stay with me.”
