I loved Bukhara! I think it was my favourite place in Uzbekistan. My tour guide, Dilfuza, was also a university lecturer and had excellent English. We had a lot of fun and laughs together. She talked about her life and we swapped experiences from our different countries. I travelled to Bukhara from Tashkent on the train and I was very happy that the tour organiser took me to dinner to eat traditional food in a really nice restaurant and then he took me to the train. I appreciated that he took me through the station and to my seat, as it was the first time I took a train in Uzbekistan. After that, I could do it myself. The accommodation was simple, but new and clean and the breakfast was so much that I could not eat it all. The Summer Palace was beautiful and my tour guide told me a lot of things about the history and I was very happy with this tour that was just myself and the guide.Amir R

I visited Uzbekistan with Ibrohim, Maftuna, and Dilfuza from GOTOUZBEKISTAN. I had the most wonderful time. The team is so caring, so knowledgeable, so organized, and so kind and generous, that make this trip to Uzbekistan one of the most wondering trips I have taken in my entire life. Dilfuza taught me a lot about Uzbek history, the recent changes in the country, the stories of the streets of Bukhara. I would highly recommend working with this team! AmirMohammadAmin_A
