I am an 81-year-old Australian who has travelled to about 60 countries, so I think I am well-qualified to say that Aziiz Khalmuradov is one of the most professional tour guides I have ever met, for the following reasons.
1. He has a profound knowledge of the history, culture, economy and politics of Uzbekistan and the surrounding countries of Central Asia, and brings your tour to life with many stories and anecdotes about his home country.
2. He speaks perfect English and is easily understood. I have, in the past, had the misfortune of having so-called English-speaking guides whose speech was so accented it was most difficult to understand.
3. Aziz tailors each tour to fit the needs of his clients. I have mobility restrictions, and Aziz made sure our daily itineraries were not over-taxing me.
4. Aziz has an obvious pride in his beautiful country, and his obvious enthusiasm for it infects his clients as you travel around the country. Add to this his friendly and polite demeanor, and you have the perfect guide.
In summary, I have no hesitation in recommending Aziz as your guide for touring Uzbekistan.
My friend Albert and I visited the Jade Lakes, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Even though the trek was pretty tough, it was totally worth it.
The highlights of the trip were definitely our guide and his friend Alexander. Aziz is incredibly interesting to talk to, and Alexander is super charismatic and funny—plus, the guy cooks better than most professional chefs!
All in all, I highly recommend both the guide and this route.
Aziz was an excellent guide in Uzbekistan. He put together an itinerary that matched our goals perfectly, and he was very flexible throughout the trip — when we wanted to adjust the plan along the way, he did his best to accommodate changes smoothly. He’s also extremely knowledgeable, and I genuinely enjoyed his explanations and stories during drives and visits. Professional, reliable, and a pleasure to travel with.
We found Aziz as a private guide on internet. Without any experience of him. And he provided an excellent tour for us. We arrived from Hungary and the time we spent in Usbegistan was one of our best holidays. Because the sevice of Aziz was perfect.
Our group of friends recently traveled through Uzbekistan — from Tashkent to Bukhara and then to the magnificent Samarkand — with our incredible tour guide Aziz . From the very beginning, he made our experience truly special.
He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the rich history, culture, and traditions of each place we visited, but also shared it all with such passion and warmth that we felt deeply connected to the country. You could tell Aziz puts his whole soul into what he does.
Beyond his professionalism, he is a genuinely kind, patient, and caring person — always making sure everyone felt comfortable, engaged, and happy. Thanks to Aziz ,our trip was filled with meaning, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more wonderful experience. Highly recommend Aziz to anyone traveling through Uzbekistan — he truly brings the country to life!
It was our good luck — actually, our good good luck — that we found Aziz! He wasn’t just a guide; he became a true friend to all of us during those five unforgettable days, and that friendship continues even beyond the trip.
Aziz is so knowledgeable about the rich history, culture, and traditions of Uzbekistan, and he shares everything with such passion and soul that you can’t help but fall in love with the country. He’s also an incredibly kind, patient, and caring person who made sure everyone felt comfortable, engaged, and happy every step of the way.
Thanks to Aziz, our journey was filled with laughter, discovery, and genuine connection. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — or a better friend. If you’re traveling through Uzbekistan, you’ll be truly lucky to have Aziz by your side!
We were a group of 10 travelers from Los Angeles visiting Uzbekistan, exploring the beautiful cities of Tashkent, Bukhara, and Samarkand. Our guide, Aziz Khalmuradov, exceeded all our expectations in every possible way.
From the moment we met him, Aziz impressed us with his deep knowledge of Uzbekistan’s history, culture, and traditions. His storytelling brought each city to life — from the ancient streets of Bukhara to the majestic architecture of Samarkand. He organized our trip perfectly, making sure that every detail was handled with care and professionalism.
Aziz’s warm personality, fluent English, and genuine hospitality made us feel not just like tourists, but like honored guests in his country. He was always patient, attentive to our needs, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone in our group was comfortable and happy.
We truly could not have asked for a better guide. Thanks to Aziz, our journey through Uzbekistan became an unforgettable experience filled with learning, laughter, and lasting memories.
We highly recommend Aziz Khalmuradov to anyone visiting Uzbekistan — he is simply the best!
PERFECTLY ORGANIZED EXCURSION
We were a group of 8 people from Bulgaria. We visited Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand, Shakhrisabz and Tashkent. Aziz made our excursion unforgettable. He organized everything – airport transfers, train travel, entrance tickets, dinners and lunches. We had booked the hotels ourselves, but if we had wished, Aziz would have done that for us too. We were never left alone for a minute (except when we wanted to) and we were constantly taken care of. All our wishes were fulfilled.
Aziz and the other tour guides showed us the beauty of Islamic architecture and revealed to us the rich history of this wonderful country – Uzbekistan. At the same time – competently and entertainingly.
Thank you, Aziz! Be healthy!
My girlfriend and I traveled from China to Uzbekistan for a tour with Aziz. It was one of the best guided tour experiences of our lives, Aziz has a passion and knowledge for history, both ancient and modern, and did a fantastic job answering all of our questions and immersing us in Uzbekistans past and future. The itinerary was well planned even though it was hot, and no day felt too overwhelming. Aziz is a fantastic guide and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a uniquely experienced guide.
I have just returned to Beijing after a very enjoyable and enlightening tour organised by Aziz. Aziz himself loves to travel. This is a key factor that allows him to better understand what is important to a tourist/adventurer. His is so keen for his clients to understand the real Uzbek way of life, their history, culture and food, not just enjoy the famous and stunning historic sightseeing places.
When in Bukhara and Samarkand he organised local guides Akobir and Feruza to showcase these stunning cities. They were also excellent.
Every part of my tour was seamless and informative thanks to Aziz's professionalism, organisational skills and attention to detail. On the downside, if you do want to travel to Uzbekistan with Aziz, you had better book well in advance because he only provides a personal service and there is only one Aziz!
I hope you enjoy Uzbekistan as much as I did, Best Wishes David Martin
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.
