Where do I even begin!? I contacted Minzifa Travel to arrange a last minute trip to Uzbekistan...and by last minute, I mean 10 days before our arrival in the country. They were responsive and exceeded our expectations at every juncture. They put together a comprehensive itinerary, helped us get an urgent visa, and were flexible both before and during our trip. Not only did they put together a great itinerary, but the guides and drivers that they utilized were outstanding! I am sure I will omit some, but Dilya, Rihanna, Mustafo, Inessa, and Azam all provided outstanding tours with clear English and substantial knowledge on a variety of subjects. In addition, Nadir and Yousef were delightful and safe drivers. Most notably, Lolita did a phenomenal job planning every detail of our trip and helping us make changes and adjustments where they were needed. I highly recommend using Minzifa Travel to arrange your journey in Uzbekistan and Central Asia. Timur and his team will take great care of you and ensure you have a memorable experience.

A great way to get a first impression of the city Traveling in the bus is comfortable and with the audio guide in different languages it offers a good opportunity to learn something about Tashkent. The start of the bus tour is at the famous Hotel Uzbekistan, Tashkent's first hotel, located on Amir Timur Square. The end of the tour is there again. You can get the tickets for the bus tour at the Hotel Uzbekistan. The tour stops at various places, such as the Minor Mosque or the old city district, where you have some time to watch the place and the buildings. There are also many sights you just drive by, such as the earthquake memorial. So you have the opportunity to get a first impression of the city and then visit some of the sights again with more time. Which of the sights are worth to visit with some more time depends on the interests. For me the Minor Mosque or the old city district have been worth to visit again.
