The 15 Best Bukhara Tours & Experiences

41 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $24

The old town is small enough to walk in a morning, which makes the guide the whole difference. These 15 range from a half-day loop of the trading domes to full days that add the Ark, Chor Minor and the summer palace — priced, timed and clear about how much is on foot.

Sunny was incredibly kind and genuinely passionate about sharing information and stories throughout the tour. She was cheerful, patient with all our questions, and made sure we didn't miss any of the important sights - including visits to several talented local craftsmen. She was also very flexible with the schedule and made the experience feel personal and relaxed. I wish her all the best and hope future travelers get to enjoy their tour with her as much as we did!”

“Our local guide, Shaxnoza, picked us up at our hotel and was super nice since the beginning. We took a taxi to the city center and from there we started our walking tour around the most iconic places in Bukhara. Shaxnoza is very knowledgeable about the city’s history and its importance in the Silk Road. We visited around 10-12 important landmarks, she showed us around the old Jewish quarter and a synagogue from the XVI century. We also visited the merchant domes, along with their caravan sarai, madrasah and mosque and we were able to picture how things worked back then. We were also taken to a few artisan workshops…”

The staff there is truly amazing, services are essential but offer everything you need. We had so much fun in the evening, clapping, singing and dancing around the bonfire. The day after, we also enjoyed the stop at Nurata. Our guide was very friendly and flexible and made our trip very comfortable. The only downside is the fact that he did not speak English, so at some point it was a bit difficult to communicate. But that did not prevent us from having fun and falling…”

One-day private Old Town Bukhara tour with a guide, air-conditioned ride, and key monuments like Ark, Poi Kalon, and craft domes.

“Generally I prefer to visit monuments and towns by myself reading book guides in order to dedicate more or less time to each single thing to see according to my interest... but the decision to hire a professional guide in Bukhara was really the best decision of my trip in Uzbekistan! Shokhrukh (but "Sho" is easier to remember) was very well prepared and with a huge knowledge of the heritage and history of his amazing country. The level of English was very professional like his preparation on Bukhara and beyond. I appreciated a lot the flexibility of Sho that picked me up in Bukhara Airport in the morning and dropped…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 19 reviews · 1 hour · from $67

Relax in Bukhara’s ancient hammam with foam scrub, firm massage, and private tea and sweets in a 1 hour session.

“Some confusion at the meetup were unsure of being at the right place for some time. The steam room, (too) hot marble slab and vigorous scrub were as expected, the firm massage too. Slightly surprised to have a male attendant / masseuse, and felt uncomfortable as others walked in and out between rooms. Dislike shown at the buckets of water being thrown over my head were ignored.. but it was an experience indeed, neither being offensive nor uncomfortable to a level of wanting to leave, but one I will not need again..”
