My husband and I had the pleasure of exploring Bukhara with the wonderful guide Makhliyo on a private tour, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Makhliyo was incredibly communicative and helpful—she assisted us not only with planning the tour but also with the logistics of getting to Bukhara, which made everything so much easier. She knows the city deeply and passionately, sharing fascinating legends and stories that brought the history of Bukhara to life. We visited beautiful mosques, madrasas, caravanserais, and even got to watch local artisans at work, which was a highlight in itself. The tour ended with a lovely lunch in a peaceful spot—perfect after a day full of discoveries. Makhliyo's warmth, knowledge, and attentiveness made this experience so special. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone visiting Bukhara!

We had a great time with Mahliyo at a 1-day tour in Bukhara. Her English is perfect and she is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Bukhara. She’s very friendly and easygoing.

Wonderful Day

I had a fantastic day touring Bukhara with Makhliyo (Max). She provided door to door service from Navoi to Bukhara and we had a great day. Her English is excellent and she has extensive knowledge of the local history. She was also flexible, right at the end of the day I wanted to go back to a shop we had been to to buy Christmas ornaments and she made it happen. She is fun and friendly!

Amanda is not just a traveler, but she is cheerful and kind like my sister. I was very inspired by her visits to teachers in the field of education to share her knowledge and experience and to bring the news of education to the teachers of Uzbekistan. I wish her a successful completion of his doctor More

We, a group of three senior people visited Uzbekistan in September 2019. Bukhara was in our itinerary, and while searching for a private tour guide had found Makhliyo’s profile on this platform. I contacted her and the response was prompt. Within the next few days we finalized the tour of Bukhara and booked her for three days. She made a perfect itinerary and arranged for our pick up and drop off at the railway station
Now that the tour is over, I would like to say that she could be classified as one the best tour guides in that region. She has extensive knowledge of the architecture and history of Bukhara which she explained to us during the tour. Apart from that, she took care of food recommendations, shopping and any local help which we needed at Bukhara. She even took us to a very colourful and splendid cultural show on one evening which we feel should not be missed by any traveller. She is absolutely punctual in timings and communication in English is perfect
We would like to thank her for all the efforts she took in organizing the tour and wish her success in her profession of guiding

Makhliyo was our tour guide for two days and we had a great time with her. It was almost a last-minute trip and despite the short notice, she was able to make our schedule for our entire stay in almost no time (including a very late pick up from the train station).
Right from the beginning, we were able to establish a good connection, mostly because of the outgoing personality, it felt as if we were long-time friends. Her knowledge of the city itself, as well as its history and the small details, is amazing and very illustrative. While doing the city tours, she kept sharing little interesting past and present facts as we were walking around, this made us understand more the importance and history of the country and the richness of its culture.
**Due to the very hot weather at the time, we had to improvise a little and make some changes on the fly which she was able to handle with ease and to come up with multiple variants for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Makhlyio as your next tour guide, you'll be in for a great time.
