Hello Everyone! My name is Shodiyor. I was born and brought up in Samarkand-the ancient capital of Sogdiana. when I entered the institute and first saw a group of tourists with a guide who was giving information about the history of my homeland I understood that my goal was to become a guide. In 2009 I graduated the institute and worked as a teacher of English and French at school number 54 Bulungur district, Samarkand. In 2011 I entered the Magistracy (specialty French language). In 2013 I got my Master's degree. After I started working as a guide. I always believe that there is nothing impossible. I am interested in history, art and my city. My favorite route is from Tashkent Mountains of Nurata with its beautiful nature. Driving from Nurata mountains to Lake Aydarkul where I can experience camel riding along with the tourists in the desert and sleeping in yurts. I love very much summer time when the sun shines and gives its warmth to people. And if you want I am happy to customize the tour for you. Please inquire for a quote. i am a licensed guide with 7 years experience. None

    Shodiyor was a fantastic guide—extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and accommodating throughout the day. It was a pleasure spending time with him and learning about the history of Samarkand, as well as Uzbek, Tajik, and Russian culture. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an insightful and enjoyable tour.

We also explored Gilan and spent a night in a cozy glaming sight surrounded by the sounds and aromas of nature. We hiked extensively between the villages listed and beyond. This trip was perfectly organized by Shodyior. Everything was...
