The large parabolic concentrator with its thousands of mirrors is a sight to behold.

Very interesting place to visit. Worth paying a bit extra for the science experiments.
Khikmatilloh / Jon was a great host and flexible to change parts of the tour around to give a more personalised experience. The solar furnace was amazing too! Highly recommended
Thank you for your great review
We had a memorable day with Khikmatillo, call him John, going to the Sun Institute. We asked him if we could rather go wine tasting instead of the forest and he booked it for us. (by the way the wine was quite good). He was extremely helpful, his English was perfect and allowed us to better understand the fascinating Uzbek culture.
Thank you for your great review. I really appriciate.
I was impressed by my tour guide John, who speaks excellent English. He is passionate and takes good care of his clients. The tour was equally amazing - highly recommended!
Thank you
If you want something totally different to the usual tours this is a must! To see the technology they used was fantastic and almost James Bond like. John was brilliant talking me through all the facts about the site and how it worked. The national park was beautiful but the weather was inclement so I decided to get out before getting lost. On the way home we stopped for a traditional Kazakh meal in a yurt which was very nice Don’t miss out on this trip!
Thank you Boss for your review
Truly a soviet era marvel. It's a must visit for all those who visit Uzbekistan. One needs to atleast spend 2 - 3 hours to appreciate the beauty. Try visiting in winter, it's like a sci-fi movie.
Thank you
John was very friendly and chatty. A safe driver. The helio complex was amazing for someone interested in science. We also went to a local nature reserve and did a small walk. I really enjoyed the drive which took us through small villages.
Sara thank you so much
The helio complex is interesting. The eco park provided a decent 60-90 minutes walk. The driver was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble, including finding me a veggie lunch.
Thank you for your great review
I attended a private day tour with John visiting the Solar Furnace and Sokok. The whole day was excellent. He was very knowledgable (graduated at tourism) and talked a lot about Uzbekistan's history, culture, the people there, and his plans about the development of and new directions in the Uzbek tourism, which was very interesting. Additionally, he was very helpful and made an extra turn with me to the airport for my delayed luggages. Finally, we ended the day with a refreshing yogurt soup (called guja) at a local restaurant. I really enjoyed the day and highly recommend him and his tours! 🙂
Thank you for the great review
