Welcome to Uzbekistan.
I'm Mahmud, though most visitors just call me Mikhail. Born and raised in Tashkent, I've spent my whole life exploring what makes this country so remarkable: its layered history, stunning architecture, wild landscapes, and food that will genuinely surprise you.
I became a guide because I couldn't stop talking about this place. Every street in Samarkand, every dish in a family kitchen, every crumbling caravanserai has a story worth telling, and I've made it my business to know them all.
What I care most about is making sure you leave with something real. Not just photos, but a feeling for the place. So whether we're wandering a bazaar or sitting down to a proper plov, I'll make sure you understand what you're seeing and why it matters.
Let's get started.

Specialties: Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Kokand, Tian Shan & Tashkent region
Sarvinoz is a young and charismatic guide whose name has become synonymous with unique travel experiences across Uzbekistan. Her expertise stretches from historic Tashkent to the majestic cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, from enchanting Kokand to the mysterious heights of the Tian Shan mountains. She effortlessly blends a deep knowledge of the region's culture and history with a genuine passion for sharing that richness with every traveler.
Sarvinoz begins every tour at the very heart of the capital, in Khast Imam Square, where she shares the city's thousand-year history — a place where Islamic architecture, Soviet heritage, and contemporary buildings stand side by side.
In Samarkand she conveys the city's one-of-a-kind atmosphere as she passes the legendary Registan Square: “Every stone in Samarkand is like a page from an ancient book.” In Bukhara, the team's senior guides share stories of ancient caravanserais once connected to the Great Silk Road, and Kokand shows off its historic palaces and rich past as a center of cultural and commercial exchange.
When the journey leads to the Tian Shan, the tours become true adventures among breathtaking peaks — full of stories of local traditions and the deep connection between people and nature. In the valleys and green hills of the Tashkent region, she introduces guests to craftsmen keeping ancestral skills alive.
Every tour with Sarvinoz is more than a guided walk — it is a chance to become part of something greater.
