Explore Fergana your way

At ToursByLocals, we believe that how you explore is just as important as where you go. That’s why every Fergana tour is private, flexible, and built around you: Move at your own pace, skip the crowds, make connections and follow your curiosity. Find local guides offering private tours in Fergana for every interest, including:

History tours: day‑trip to Kokand to tour the Khudayar Khan Palace and the Jami Mosque, hearing stories of the last khanate. You can also meet artisans at Margilan’s Yodgorlik Silk Factory and visit a master potter’s workshop in Rishtan to see cobalt‑blue ceramics fired in traditional kilns.

Nature and Wildlife tours: escape to the foothills near Shakhimardan for river walks, picnic spots, and cool mountain air. For a gentle wildlife angle, your guide can time birdwatching around Andijan Reservoir and include a stop in mulberry groves tied to the valley’s silk traditions.

Central areas are manageable on foot and taxis are common, but sights across the valley are far apart; ask your guide about chauffeured tours or tours with private transportation for Kokand, Margilan, and Rishtan.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all itinerary, you can tailor your private tour to match your interests, pace and personality with a local who knows Fergana inside and out.
