Benefits of a tour guide for Tashkent
"A tour guide will take you to all the main sites, as well as the lesser-known hidden gems. You'll also benefit from their knowledge as each place has its own unique story to tell."
@travellustlarry's Top Tips
"Buy a ticket and take a ride on the Tashkent Metro. You will be awed by the stunning Soviet-style architecture, each station has its own theme! The stations resemble art galleries or dance halls."
Did you know...
"Tashkent is the largest city in Central Asia and during the Soviet Union era was the 4th largest City in the ex-USSR."

Favourite time of year to visit Tashkent

Favourite time of year to visit Bukhara
"Late September/October is a great time of year to visit. The days are clearer and a lot cooler than in the summer months, plus the height of the tourist season is over, so it's just you and the locals!"
Did you know?
"Bukhara was a stop on the Silk Road trade route between east and west & was a medieval centre for Islamic theology & culture. It contains 100s of old mosques, bazaars, madrassas & caravanserais."
My Top Tip...
"If you're not on a tour, be sure to hire a taxi for the day and visit the stunning sites on the outskirts of the city. These include Ismail Samani Mausoleum, Sitorai-Mokhi-Khosa Palace & Chor Minor Madrasah."

What do you love most about Samarkand?
"The architecture and Silk Road history of Samarkand is like nowhere else on the planet. A kaleidoscope of coloured tiles on the facades of the most amazing mausoleums & mosques makes it mythical. "
@travellustlarry's Top Tips
"If you're not on a guided tour, it would be worth hiring a local Uzbek driver for the day, the sites are spread across the city and the traffic is the worse in Uzbekistan, so having a local taxi driver will help as they know all the shortcuts!"
Favourite time of year to visit Samarkand
"Late September/October is ideal. The days are cooler, the skies are blue and the Autumn colours are beginning to appear. It's out of season tourist-wise, so you will have the sights to yourself."
What's my number 1 tip?
"Make sure you see Registan Square and Amir Temur mausoleum during the night, they are both lit up and shine like gems against the night sky! This was my highlight of Samarkand. "

A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Favourite time of year to visit Khiva
"September/October. You will have clear blue skies, the heat of being in the Khorezm desert has subsided and you will pretty much have the place yourself... just you and the locals - perfect."
Benefits of a tour guide for Khiva
"A tour guide will show you all the hidden places tucked away in the labyrinth of cobbled narrow alleyways and bazaars. You will also learn about its rich Silk Road history and all its stories."
Why is it called Khiva?!
"Khiva in English means "Sweet Water". The legend goes the Silk Road camel trains stopped here to take a drink from the natural spring in the desert. The word "Khiva" was spoken & the name stuck!"
Where is Khiva?
"The ancient city is located on the edge of the Khorezm Desert in Western Uzbekistan, on the Turkmenistan border. It's approximately a 1-hour flight to Urgench from the capital, Tashkent."

Benefits of a tour guide for Uzbekistan
"The language barrier is tough and a guide is almost essential at times. Most people only speak Russian or Uzbek and both use the Cyrillic alphabet."
@zoegoesplaces's Top Tips
"Travel by train. It's quick, cheap and easy. Plus, first class is especially affordable here. "
Must pack items for Uzbekistan
"Conservative dress is respectful to the local cultures, make sure you cover your shoulders and down to your knees. "
