★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 12 reviews · 5 hours · from $49

Explore Khiva’s UNESCO-listed Ichan Kala with a private five-hour walking tour covering mosques, palaces, mausoleums, and city walls.

“We booked this tour with the expectation that it would last a full day as stated in the booking confirmation. This is also what we paid for. Anyone will understand that we were baffled when our guide left us around lunch time after guiding us around in Khiva only half a day in a very rushed manner. For this reason we recommend people to manage their expectations when they book this tour.”

7.City Highlights Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $35

Review of Khiva’s 3.5-hour walking tour, with Juma Mosque, Tash-Khauli Palace, local cuisine, guide tips, costs, and practical advice.

“Maryam was a very knowledgeable guide and took us to all the sights of interest and took care to find shade and places where we could sit while she was talking about the place. She had an extensive vocabulary but I did have difficulty understanding her due to her pronunciation and often had to ask her to repeat what she had said. Fortunately I and my husband were the only participants so we could get close to her.”
