1.Tashkent: City Tour with Pro Photography, Lunch & Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 16 reviews · 8.5 hours · from $80Our pick

Full-day Tashkent tour with pro photo help (Sony A6700 Mon-Fri), metro sights, bazaars, plus Uzbek lunch and dinner for $80 pp.

“I booked this Tashkent professional photography city tour specifically because it said the guide would bring a Sony camera to take photos for me—that was my main reason for signing up. But that promise totally fell through, and it was such a letdown. The morning (the best time to take photos) went by, and my guide Aziz didn’t have the camera at all. It wasn’t until after lunch that he finally got it, and he only took 5 or 6 photos total. To make it worse, he later said he accidentally deleted those few shots. In the end, all the photos from the day were taken with my own phone—and…”

2.Beyond the Walls: Countryside Tour with Transport and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · from $89Top rated

Half-day private countryside-style tour from Bukhara with Naqshbandi mausoleum, Sitorai-Mokhi-Khosa palace, plov lunch, and city stops.

“Not really a countryside tour. Two of the sights were in the old town. One of which we had already visited on a city walking tour. The out of town mausoleum was superb. The summer palace interesting. The guide was excellent and interesting. Overall was over priced, and a visit to the mausoleum with a taxi would have sufficed”

4.Tadjikistan 7 Lakes Day Trip from Samarkand with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · from $93

A full day from Samarkand to Tajikistan’s Haftkul lakes in the Fann Mountains, with museum stops, Sarazm ruins, and optional lunch.

“We had an amazing time with Murod. He was very informative about Tajikistan and Uzbekistan history. The seven lakes were beautiful with the snow and he even stopped by Sarazm Archaeological Site on the way home for us. We had a great time and would 100% recommend doing this day trip if you’re staying in Samarkand.”

5.Traditional Khiva Cooking Class with Market Visit & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $150

Cook plov or shivit oshi in a Khiva home, shop the bazaar for ingredients, and enjoy lunch with recipes to take home.

“Attività davvero molto interessante. Sarvar ci ha portati prima al mercato per acquistare gli ingredienti e poi a casa sua. Sua madre ci ha mostrato come cucinare il Plov, che a nostro avviso è stato il migliore fra quelli mangiati in Uzbekistan. Sarvar ci ha poi offerto la frutta e il tradizionale tè verde. L’attività è stata davvero piacevole e ci ha permesso di scoprire tantissimi aspetti della vita in Uzbekistan.”
