About me
I have been working as a guide since 2009 — first on routes across all of Uzbekistan, and in recent years focusing on Tashkent. It is a deliberate choice: I know this city deeply.
I am the author and the voice of the City Insider audio guide — a project covering Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara in five languages. Over eighteen years of practice, hundreds of travellers have joined my tours — from independent travellers to delegations of major companies. Among my guests have been politicians, cultural figures, well-known artists and athletes.
I run tours at any pace and in any format: from an intensive few-hour overview to a slow, detailed full-day immersion. The route is always discussed individually — tailored to your interests and requests.
What every tour includes
Professional
headset system
Every participant hears clearly — even in a noisy bazaar or a crowded place.
An immersive
atmosphere
Photos and video along the route — the thing that creates a sense of presence, not just information.
A route built
around you
No standard script. We shape the programme together — theme, pace and focus.
State
licence
A certified guide with verified qualifications and regular re-certification.
Tours of Tashkent
The Old City & the mahallas
The real Tashkent — narrow lanes, historic neighbourhoods, mosques and madrasahs. The route is built around your interests.
Crafts & workshops
Ceramics, weaving, embroidery, woodcarving. Meeting the masters — not a showcase for tourists, but a living workshop.
Shopping: bazaars, textiles, souvenirs
Khan-Atlas silk, suzani, ceramics, spices. I know where to buy well and not overpay. I'll help you choose and bargain.
Soviet architecture of Tashkent on request
Monumental ensembles, metro stations, mosaics — a separate and little-known chapter in the city's history.
Samarkand · day trip on request
Accompaniment for a day or several days. Full guiding throughout a longer journey across Uzbekistan is also possible.
