Perfect way to visit Bukhara surroundings.

The tour is perfect for those like us who wanted to explore Bukhara outside of the old town. All the places we visited were beautiful and interesting. Mirfayz was an amazing guide, very friendly and with great knowledge of the history of the city and the country. He enriched the visit very much, and he went the extra mile as we finished the tour before the scheduled time and he offered to visit some other great places. We really recommend the tour and Mirfayz.
