      Highly recommend this experience

      I loved this and would 100% do it again. Abdulaziz is a chill guy with solid communication skills who has made something awesome. He found this little local bread making bakery and partnered with them to give tourists an experience of a lifetime. He picked me up from my lobby and we headed over to the bakery which was so real and unique to anything I’ve seen in the UK. The people there are working from early morning to late at night making thousands of bread (Non) a day. I was under the impression that I would simply witness and help a little but nope I was offered a chance to lean in and place the dough into the Tandir which is this huge clay oven. Abdulaziz helped coach me beforehand and made a video for me doing it. I was also given a chance to do the other steps of bread making. Shaping the dough as well as pressing a design and stamping seeds into it. Again- Abdulaziz was kind enough to offer to film and picture me. My bread was baked and I was given not just mine but an extra bread to take back home with me. Abdulaziz called us another car and as it was my first day in Samarkand he recommended me to visit Registan Square for a light show. He dropped me off there and I’m so glad I followed his advice. Awesome guide and an awesome activity. Would recommend 100%.

      Great experience to make bread

      Great experience to learn the basics of making bread in Samarkand. My guide, Abdul Aziz, was genuine and professional and answered all my questions about break making. Absolutely satisfied

      What a treat to have John again as our tour guide (see our review of the Sun Institute tour) Yes we made our bread and it was delicious! Thanks to him we again had a chance to get to appreciate Uzbek culture as he was very helpful and spoke perfect English.
