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

Shovkat guided my wife and I over Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. He did a fine job. We were interested both in the recent history as a Soviet republic as well as earlier history. He was very knowledgeable and communicated well about this as well as about our primary focus: the monuments—mosques, madrassahs, and mausoleums. His English language skills are fine and he is very responsive to questions. My wife needed extra help at the end of the trip due to an illness and he provided essential help getting us cleared for flights. He drives his own vehicle and has a circle of guides helpful for areas that he is less familiar with. The choices for hotels/guest houses/restaurants were uniformly fine: Not too expensive but comfortable and appropriate.

Shovkat was the perfect start of our trip in Uzbekistan! He was in our hotel to pick us up exactly in the time we arrange. He showed us all that was included in the itinerary and had no problem in stopping in the places we wanted to check out that were not in the plan. He also made sure we saw all the important parts of Tashkent, while taking care of our energy as we arrived that same day from night flight, so sometimes we needed a break during the day. He was kind, patience, funny, very knowledgable and a delight to be our guide in this city! We really appreciate his company, knowledge and service.

Our guide was excellent. His knowledge about Tashkent and Uzbekistan in general, was comprehensive. He patiently answered our many questions. He was also willing to adjust the tour to meet our requests.

Shovkat is a wonderful tour guide. He showed up early and waited for us at our hotel. His car was clean and he even prepared drinking water. He introduced the best of the places to visit. During our tour, we found him very knowledgeable and intelligent. He is very flexible when I requested to see the subway and other places that were not on his list as well. We had a great day in Tashkent.

Shovkat does guiding with passion and has an extent knowledge of local an regional history. We were a group of 6 persons and booked the Tashkent city tour with him. He picked us up from our hotel with his van which is new and comfortable and we started the day tour. We had different wishes inside the group but everyone was happy after the tour. Thank you! 10/10 reccomend!
