Dilik was my tour guide and gave me a very detailed overview of Dushanbe and Hisor, while showing me the main highlights of both. He was on time and drove safely. Overall a great intro to Dushanbe. The next day I also took a transfer to Samarkand with them which went smoothly. Recommended!

    Easy Day Trip in Dushanbe

    the hisor fortress is a short drive (24km) from dushanbe and the area is quite small so its sort of a quick stop. then some stops at the city center, parliament, museum, and the big mosque of dushanbe. behruz is a prompt and professional guide and i can see he is working hard despite being new. i asked him to drop me off at the airport instead of the hotel and he agreed, so that was nice.

    Nice to learn about different cultures. Very knowledgeable tour guide at the fortress.

    I can't wait to come back and enjoy another tour!

    Tajikistan is rich in history and extremely beautiful. Every place we stopped at I was welcomed with open arms. Dave was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He was just as excited about showing me the sights, trying new foods as I was. Only downside is, I was alone for business and my wife couldn't enjoy it with me.

    Super Awesome tour of Tajikistan

    Paulo_R, May 2024
    Fantastic awesome day tour of Dushanbe and Hissar! My guide Dilik was on time, friendly, professional and a walking history book! He showed me the amazing Hissar fortress as well as the absolutely stunning sites of Dushanbe. I did not feel rushed and I learned a lot from this tour! I cannot stress enough how great this tour is! It is worth the price I Paid for especially for a private tour. This is a 5 star experience, much better than tours in other countries like in Europe lol

    Great day

    Nourah_N, Apr 2024
    I highly recommend this trip especially if you’re in Dushanbe for a day or would like to see or pass by the main sights in 1 day. The guide Dilnoza and driver Daler were really great! Dilnoza was very informative and did not rush through anything. I didn’t feel tired with visiting all these places. We stopped for a samsa break during the tour, and she was sweet enough to help me get postal stamps.
