A wonderful introduction to Tashkent and the lovely people of Uzbekistan

Tom_T, Oct 2025

Julia and Yusef were really prompt in responding and helpful in the lead up to the tour, answering questions and offering great advise. We had a private tour for just our family of four (with our 9 and 7 year old). They met us from the hotel with a couple of cars and were taken to the start of the tour in the old part of town. We spent the next 2 hours walking around markets, seeing bread made and baked, and sampling tasters of everything yummy along the way. They were a really great couple and full of knowledge about the country and city. Full of energy and made it the perfect mix of exploring, eating and learning about this amazing place. All fuelled up we then went on an underground exploration of many of the beautiful stations. Hearing about the history and stories behind the different stations was fascinating. We then popped up above ground near to the Tashkent Television tower and had a tasty lunch seeing prepration and tasting many types of the delicious Plov. It was a fabulous tour, they were really great with the kids and we all had a brillant time. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone. Thank you for a lovely start to the holiday and was great to meet the locals with wonderful stories.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re so happy you and your family enjoyed the day with us — it was such a pleasure showing you around and seeing the kids get curious and excited about everything!

Informative, tasty, and fun!

This was an eye-opening (and tasty!) tour of the food of Uzbekistan, plus a glimpse into the wonderful underground world of the impressive Tashkent metro. Julia and Yusuf were informative, and very nice company to have for the day. They were clearly passionate about the city. They also tailored the experience to our particular needs (including added stops for shopping!). We had already tasted Samarkand and Bukhara Osh (Plov) - so they arranged for us to have Tashkent and Ferghana Osh. We have come to realize that Tashkent is under-rated among the many top destinations in Uzbekistan, and Yusuf and Julia played a huge role in this realization. Everything was well-planned and on-time. This is a fantastic tour - and we would give more than 5 stars, if possible!
