Beautiful Dushanbe

Behruz (my tour guide) did a wonderful job showing me around Dushanbe. I’ve learned so much about the history of Tajikistan as well as the origins of the people. Behruz was a very professional and courteous guide that managed to plan out the itinerary that suits my needs. Highly recommend!

The city of Dushanbe is one of the young Dushanbe is a city of lovers. Dushanbe is a city of love and affection. The city of Dushanbe is rich in history. When you enter Dushanbe, the fresh air and new buildings show that the city is developing every day.

Great experience!

Great tour! I saw so much of the city in one day than I would have if I had done it solo. Having a 2 hr private tour of the national museum was great as I felt I got to know a lot about this country. My guide, Hikmatullo, was early in picking me up and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour (and guide) to anyone.

Our guide was great

Our guide, Hokim was amazing. This review is more geared towards him. Some of the sites were closed by the government but he was able to improvise. We were also looking for postcards which are apparently not popular in Tajikistan. He drove us to a bunch of places until we finally found one. Since we were leaving the next day he took them to the post office for us and got them stamped/mailed

You are welcome, thank you for visiting our Land, come again

Good start visiting Dushanbe and the country.

Punctual pickup, decent car, young and friendly guide, and a good program to get to learn a bit about the capital and country. Started off with a walk around national monuments and parks. Visited the national museum that came to life thanks to a knowledgeable and enthusiastic museum guide. Visited some form of new presidential VIP center for high level meetings with lots of intricate wood carvings, marble, massive doors, huge round tables and heavy chandeliers - very picturesque kitch. The lunch at this center was a delicious plov, but I picked up a stomach bug either from the lemon tea or goat curd. We then visited a market/bazaar and more monuments plus a botanical garden that was very pleasant. The guide’s English and insights were somewhat limited but he was kind and friendly and took good care of me - overall I enjoyed this tour very much. It took around 6.5h in total.
