“Had an amazing private tour with this very knowledgeable guide Sitora. She explained everything about this city as well many old stories and legends of Uzbekistan and the associated with Persia. I asked many questions and she is such a good accompany while we walk in the old city. It was also very challenging time for her since it is Ramadan and she refused to accept any water or tips by the end of the tour, despite the fact that she is talking all the time and the tour was really amazing. I strongly recommend her if you are interested in history, legend, archiology, anthropology and architecture.”
