Assalomu Alaykum! Welcome to Uzbekistan - the Land of Ancient Culture! To start, I want to introduce you about myself and my country. I am a professional Tour Guide qualified to guide throughout the whole Uzbekistan possessing more than 14 years of experience. I am from Tashkent and I live there. Reading is my hobby. I enjoy reading about historical books, interesting legends and nature books. May be my interest was a reason to have highly efficient knowledge about Uzbekistan and its history. Looking at my previous experience, I began my work as a part time tour guide. Then I have held a lot of tour group and personal tourist excursions. Since 2012 I have operated as a multi-tasker guide: a tour guide and driver. During the years I have learnt the subtleties of Tourism. Moreover, I can offer multitasking skills along with an ability to tour and drive along Uzbekistan, reservations for hotels and transportation, to produce tailor-make itineraries for travel to short or long-haul destinations. Uzbekistan is popular for its world-famous historical cities, some of which are included in the World Heritage List. Each city has its own uniqueness and magic. Khiva is an open-air museum, and Bukhara is filled with the ancient architecture of the medieval city, and Samarkand will immerse you in the local culture and traditions. Now about my city. Tashkent is a city with interesting mixture of modern architecture and old buildings. We are famous for entrepreneurship, our foodie culture, our historical vs. verse modern building style and attractive nature. We can imagine Tashkent as a bowl that the city is situated in the middle and mountains are covered it as a border of bowl. I love Tashkent. Taking a trip to Uzbekistan, you can taste national foods, especially, a real Uzbek pilaf, cooked on the basis of a thousand years old recipe. In Uzbekistan, Tourists certainly will be treated with a delicious hot cakes (Uzbek bread) straight from the tandyr. The taste of hot bread, especially in the morning, with qaymaq (fat milk) and sweet tea is familiar to local people since childhood. And what can be better than Uzbek somsa? And where, if not in Uzbekistan, you will encounter a huge variety of dried fruits. Delicious Uzbek cuisine, fruits, nature, beautiful sights and, most importantly, very friendly, hospitable, kind, sincere and nice people will make your trip to Uzbekistan a memorable one. Let's come and explore Uzbekistan with me! *Tour Guide License- awarded by the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Tourism Development. * Driving license-given by Tashkent. * English language certificate- awarded by Wembley language college in London. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

My wife and I flew into Tashkent, staying 4 nights. We had never been to Central-Asia, but we really loved this trip ... the local people and food were really excellent! Tashkent is centrally located to see a LOT of this region! I booked 3 tours for 3 full days with Shovkat. He did a GREAT job of taking care of us in: Samarkand, Khujand, and Turkistan ... three different countries in 3 days! Khujand is a relatively short car-ride from Tashkent Uzbekistan. Shovkat brought us over the border of these two countries, then we had a Tajik driver, and a GREAT local expert guide. The country of Tajikistan is a 'must-see' ... so much history, e.g. the Persians, the Greeks (Alexander built this city), then so many more famous rulers. The museum and surrounding architecture are beautiful. P.s. the kabobs are tasty!!!

Shovkat is a friendly and knowledgable guide who was able to arrange a great custom tour starting in Tashkent, incorporating the mountains nearby (Amirsoy), then traveling through Tajikistan (Khujand, Alexander Lake, and Seven Lakes), and finishing in Samarkand. He made the logistics easy, including two border crossings, and found a great local Tajik guide, Omar. Tashkent and Khujand were interesting cities with lots of areas worth exploring, and the mountains of both countries were spectacular. Shovkat was the perfect person to show off these amazing places.

I had an amazing day trip to Khujand. Shovkat is an exceptional guide. He has a lot of knowledge of the region and we had good discussions about history and culture. The border crossing went well and smoothly. Unlike many other tours I have seen advertised, Shovkat actually comes with you to Tajikistan and organised a driver who we met over the border. It made me feel secure to have Shovkat accompany me all the time. Khujand itself is a fascinating place, with much history and culture, and I would recommend this day trip highly if you are interested to visit Tajikistan. With Shovkat you will get to see the main sites in Khujand, not feel rushed (I had a lot of requests at the bazaar and Shovkat kept patient with me and helped me buy the items that I wanted), have time to wander around without feeling pressed to move to the next destination, and enjoy a local meal for lunch.
