4.Khiva Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · from $25

Spend four to five hours walking Khiva’s walled Itchan Kala with a private guide. You’ll hear the city’s stories in English, Russian, or French, with German also advertised, and choose which palaces, mosques, and madrassas to enter. Guide Moxira is noted for growing up inside the old city. Entrance fees cost extra.

“This was a great tour, jam-packed with information. My guide, Moxira, grew up in the Ichan Qala (her parents still live there), so she had an insider,'s perspective. Her knowledge was quite detailed. She met me right on time at my hotel and has a pleasant personality that adds to the enjoyment of the tour. Would definitely recommend.”
