“10 out of 5 stars!”
Gayrat is an exceptional guide. You will not go wrong spending a day with him. My son and I did the 7-hour walking tour of the city. He'll customize your tour and make sure you get time with any special requests. I enjoyed our stroll through local neighborhoods and an off-the-beaten-path mosque. Gayrat taught English, at the college level, if I remember correctly. He is also a certified guide and knows every detail of the area. He tells stories that bring the history alive. We loved him enough to book another day doing the Handicraft and Village Tour, which we're looking forward to. Scout's honor - you'll enjoy your time with Gayrat.
