The Fergana Valley is well worth the long drive! Aziz took us to some very interesting places and helped us with shopping at the wonderful bazaar. He was nice about answering all my questions about the education system and other aspects of Uzbek life. We felt safe driving in the crazy traffic with him.
Aziz was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable on the history and culture of Tashkent. He was very flexible with customizing the itinerary for us. We would definitely recommend him.
Wir haben dieses Jahr eine große Asia Tour geplant und für den Aufenthalt in Usbekistan haben wir uns für Aziz entschieden. Wir haben mit ihm eine Tagestour in Taschkent und eine Tagestour in Samarkand gemacht. Aziz konnte uns sehr viel, über Usbekistan und die einzelnen Städte die wir besucht haben, erzählen. Er hat uns die Kultur und die Geschichte Usbekistans näher gebracht. Aziz hat sich auch darum gekümmert uns vom Bahnhof zum Hotel zu bringen und hat uns Empfehlungen für Restaurants gegeben. Er ist ein wahrer Kenner von dem Land und der Geschichte. Das einzige was wir bereuen ist, dass wir nur 2 Tage für Usbekistan eingeplant haben.
Aziz danke für alles.
Aziz is a very knowledgeable, passionate and hard working guide who enjoys his work. We highly recommend booking a tour with him, especially if you are interested in the history and culture of Uzbekistan.
The cycling tour with Aziz was excellent, From the initial query he was very helpful arranging a better time to suit our travel arrangements, arranging for good quality well maintained bikes and cycle helmets, and an excellent tour showing me safely around both the old and new city, with plenty of opportunity to stop and take photos. Tashkent is new to cyclists, so there are few times when you will need to dismount to cross road, but overall an amazing way to experience such a diverse city.
A friend and I went on a 10-night tour to Uzbekistan this spring. We hired Aziz to plan and guide it. While he was only available to guide for the first few days, his planning was impeccable and the trip went without a hitch. Hotels, drivers, trains, internal flights and tour guides were all sorted for us and we had no problems. The guides in each city were local, friendly and knowledgeable, while Aziz was always contactable and keeping tabs on our progress.
Aziz himself was a great guide. He was highly flexible and keen to cater to our interests. He also took us off the beaten track and showed us some great unusual spots. He was excellent company throughout.
I highly recommend hiring Aziz for your visit.

I am a Freelance Travel Consultant and Aziz has worked with me in Uzbekistan since 2012, setting up trips for Kudu Travel Ltd.
How lucky I was to find him! We have visited deserts, mountains, markets, historical cities and remote villages. We have camped under the stars and found elusive tracks in the remote hills. His knowledge of the country is extensive, his energy boundless and I love the way he adds to his wealth of knowledge every time he steps out the door. He has been an excellent companion to me and groups of British guests on holiday, and he has shown himself to be very patient as we clamour to go to another bazaar. Aziz has worked hard to find local food specialities for us to try and he has helped identify the desert flora that can be difficult to find in reference books. I know him to be a great person to travel with, a dependable and excellent local guide.
We had a number of guides during our 2017 visit to Central Asia. Aziz was by far the best; knowledgeable, prompt, timely and took well care of us. If you are fortunate enough to have Aziz as your guide, do not hesitate a moment.
This was a great time. Riding through the city was an awesome way to see more than just the inside of historical buildings. Aziz was very knowledgeable about the history of Tashkent and its architecture. I learned a lot about how different buildings reflected old Tashkent, the influence of Soviet Union post earthquake in 1960, and modern construction. Aziz was very flexible about sites to visit and the bike was top notch. If you are in good shape and comfortable on a MTB I would totally recommend.
I just returned from a 7 day tour of Uzbekistan sponsored by Kal-Pak with Aziz as the guide. We had a diverse group of 9 from US,UK,Canada and Australia. The first day I met Aziz I knew that he was a special person. He spoke freely and with love about Uzbekstan. He shared his encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the silk road and how it relates to the present. I came knowing little about the silk road and left with a comprehensive knowledge of the country and the Muslim population who reside there. Aziz was always on time, organized and had a good sense of humor. He was able to keep the group together and also appeal to individual requests. He aranged transport and meals in a very efficient timeframe. In one week we were able to see the primary sites in 4 different locations. In addition to the visiting the standard tourist sites Aziz took us to offbeat locations where we could appreciate the local culture. Every day we accomplished our programs and had time for individual exploration. I am a physician with high expectations of professionals. As a professional tour guide Aziz is outstanding an would recommend a private tour with him at any time
