Farhod - Stadtführer in Xiva

A Magical Tour of Khiva with Farhod – Absolutely Recommended! Taking a walking tour of Khiva with Farhod was one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Uzbekistan. From the start, Farhod greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm, and it was clear how passionate he is about sharing the history and beauty of his hometown. We began at the West Gate (Ota Darvoza) and made our way through the stunning Itchan Kala fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Farhod guided us with engaging stories, weaving history, architecture, and culture into every stop. He made the past come alive in a way that was both informative and entertaining. Highlights of the tour included the majestic Muhammad Aminkhan Madrasa and Minaret, the historical prison (Zindan) and court, and the fascinating Kuhna Ark palace, where Farhod’s storytelling painted vivid pictures of the lives once lived there. We also visited the impressive Muhammad Rahimkhan II Madrasa and the atmospheric Juma Mosque, the oldest mosque in Khiva, with its forest of carved wooden columns. Farhod also took us to the Academic Museum of Scholars, where we learned more about Khiva’s role in the region’s intellectual and cultural development. We ended the tour at the stunning Tosh Havli Palace, exiting through the eastern gate, feeling like we had stepped back in time. Farhod made sure we were well-prepared with entrance tickets (15€, valid for 48 hours), and he answered every question with kindness and insight. His passion for Khiva is contagious, and his knowledge is truly impressive. If you’re visiting Khiva, don’t miss the chance to explore it with Farhod. This tour is not just a walk through historical sites—it’s a journey through centuries of culture, brought to life by a truly exceptional guide.

Farhod was very profesional and gave a lot of information
