Very nice trip well organized. The driver was very friendly even with a not very good english. We had two guides, one for each day in the Ferghana valley, both were extremely interesting.
It was a pleasure to arrange Vincent's trip to the Ferghana valley. I hope you enjoyed discovering this beautiful region of Uzbekistan))

Diyora arranged a guide for us in Samarkand and Bukhara.
Our guide in Samarkand was Sevinch. She took us through all the key sites in Ragestan Square, took us to a great restaurant for lunch and we ended the trip at the bazaar. She was enthusiastic and equipped with good knowledge of the places we covered. What was interesting was hearing about the aspirations and dreams of young people of her age - a good insight to the locals. She also made many good suggestions of pother places to see and places to dine - which all turned out to be excellent ones.
In Bukhara, Sadokat was our guide. It rained when we were about to start the tour and she kindly offered to start the tour in the afternoon and continue the next day to finish up the tour. She was like a history professor - so well read and knowledgeable about the history of Bukhara, of Uzbekistan, of Central Asia and she was always able to link different events, how one impacted the other and peppered them with interesting anecdotes. She shared many insights that we never knew - like why puppet show was an important part of the culture (due to the privacy of women, they could not show their faces and so puppets were the only means to have female character in performances; like how US Civil War inevitably led to the Russian conquest of Central Asia….and many more). She was so engaging and so enthusiastic in sharing her knowledge that we decided to continue the tour despite it going on for about 6 hours. And despite it getting late, at no time did she try to shorten or cut short the tour.. I have not learnt so much in decades.

Diyora organised three transfers for us in Uzbekistan and they each went very smoothly with great drivers and vehicles. She was always very responsive with communication. Would highly recommend.

Thank you to Diyora and her lovely, passionate and knowledgeable guides in Tashkent, Bukhara and Samarkand for giving us a compact and insightful impression into your amazing country.
Should we be lucky enough to come back to your part of the world, we will definitely book with Shahlo & Diyora again.

We booked a trip to the 7 lakes (Haft Kul) in Tajikistan from Samarkand (Uzbekistan).
Everything was so perfectly organized! The transfer from hotel to the border (and back) was included in the price. At the other side of the border a local guide was waiting for us with a driver. His English was immaculate! In the short time we spend time with him, he already felt like a close friend. He was also very knowledgeable about Haft Kul.
At the end of our tour we ate at a locale restaurant. We payed a total of 165€. It was all worth it. A very good price!
t was a pleasure hosting Julien. Everything went smoothly
★★★★★
Everything was perfect. The driver, Abdusalom, was very kind & carefully drived.
Won Hyon and his wife are satisfied with the driver. We would be happy to see them in Uzbekistan in the future!

We had a great experience with Diyora in organizing a trip from bukhara to Samarkand, day tour of Samarkand and day tour to Shahrisabz. She was very helpful long before and throughout our trip. She gave us one of the best guides I have ever met (Charos). Charos is very knowledgeable, professional, and most of all a fantastic, warm person. She really made the difference for our trip. I strongly recoment Shahlo & Diyora to anybody who travel to Uzbekistan
I met Evangelia in Samarkand. She is a very kind person. It was a pleasure to arrange their tour around Nurota mountains, Samarkand and Shakhrisabz. I hope they will enjoy the rest of their time in Uzbekistan

Upon our arrival, our tour guide has some difficulty to serve us, n he was being replaced to his dad which is the boss. He demonstrated excellent English proficiency and punctuality. He even took the initiative to introduce us to Uzbekistan’s rich history in great detail. When we reached old bazaar, he bought us the local bread and fruits for us to try. When we requested a restaurant recommendation, he suggested a spot that truly lived up to our expectations.
Later, when we encountered an issue with our hotel check-in, he promptly resolved the matter by securing a more comfortable room for us and patiently waited until the process was fully completed. His service throughout was genuinely commendable and professional.
Syuhadah and her family are kind people. It was a great experience to meet them in Tashkent
★★★★★
The driver was punctual, good at driving also in bumpy roads, and very kind. It would have been nice he could speak more English for some conversation for local curiosities but we were very happy with the tour
We organised a transfer from Bukhara to Khiva with the visits to Toprak kala, Kyzyl kala and Ayaz kala for Michele and his wife. They enjoyed this road trip.
★★★★★
Guide and driver were very cooperative and speaks good English. There are rooms for improvements that guide could carry Camera and photographic skills, helping in price negotiations for prices for buying and activates
Manesh and his family spent 3 days in Tashkent. We organised their city tour in Tashkent and 2 days tour to Chimgan mountains, Amirsoy resort and Charvak lake. According to Manesh's message over WhatsApp, his children had their skiing in Amirsoy and they enjoyed it very much. Besides, they were satisfied with their guide and transport.

Abbiamo fatto il viaggio in Uzbekistan con Diyora e Shahlo.
Che dire il viaggio è stato ora alla perfezione, la loro professionalità è stata oltre le aspettative.
Diyora ha risposto sempre puntualmente ad ogni nostra richiesta o problema.
Nonostante la loro giovane età consiglio a tutti di affidarsi alla loro competenza e professionalità.
l'Uzbekistan e' un paese meraviglioso con un popolo ospitale e gentile
Siamo super soddisfatti di questo nostro fantastico viaggio.

Everything was perfect, the driver wait for us before departure time. The minivan is very good condition, big and so comfortable There are lots of space for our 4 big luggage and 4 passengers. The price is cheaper than others. The driver can speak English a little bit, but he is polite and smooth driving. We are so impressed.
★★★★★
Very professional and attentive driver .Unfortunately he did not speak a word of English but it was not necessary. Careful driving and experienced.Nice trip.

If IndayGuide is for independent guides/professionals, who offer their expert servieces in lesser visited part of the world, where local expertese can mean a lot, then the serveice we got did not catch the mission of the site. It was nothing more than an overpriced tayi service, that I could have agreed upon with any driver in Samarqand. The ladies did not add any vlue to it - they could have beeen just chatbots too as we did not meet them, just communicated on Whatsapp. They hired two drivers, who were ok, spoke some Russian, and their cars were ok. Anyway, I think IndyGuide should filter out these kind of offers of tour comapnies, who just hire someone, and focus on its original mission.
It was a pleasure to organize Szucs Tamas and his friends' day tour to Shakhrisabz. However, there was a little misunderstanding from the client's side. From the beginning they asked me to book the transportation for the trip and I did so. It was written in the program that the price includes only the transportation to/from Shakhrisabz. But they thought it also includes guide services. So, on the day of the tour, Szucs sent me messages asking about the guide. I explained everything to him and he agreed. I truly hope that they are not offended by us and still enjoyed their trip :)
★★★★★
This was a fantastic tour and memorable experience throughout Uzbekistan. Diora was a very responsive host and open with regards to expectations and very flexibility with regards to what I wanted to experience in Uzbeistan in each respective city. One of the highlights of the tour was the opportunity to meet Diora and her family and have dinner with them in their home. The dinner was fantastic and giving my friend the opportunity to learn how to cook traditional Uzbek dinner items was amazing. I heavily recommend you select this tour. Diora will ensure you do not forget Uzbekistan and will want to come back,
It was great to meet Kene and his friend Andres. They are so positive, talented and creative people that I've ever met.
★★★★★
Such a wonderful guide. Quite knowledgeable, professional, humble and an amazing human-being. Wish all the guides were like her but I know you can't expect everyone to be as perfect.
We are glad to hear Chadi enjoyed his tour in Bukhara with Ms.Gulijon. We appreciate his feedback :)
★★★★★
Shahlo and Diora were incredibly helpful throughout my trip. They gave me the best local guides who were knowledgable about the places and from whom I learned a lot. I enjoyed my trip to Uzbekistan because of them! They were very accommodating and were very responsive during times when I had questions. I had the best time! Thank you so much for helping organize my trip.
Ayanna is the sweetest and most charming girl I have ever seen. It was very interesting to talk to her. She did a great job in cooking class, which really surprised me. And I've learned so much about Philippines from her. I hope to see her again in Uzbekistan :)
★★★
We booked a trip to a waterfall, and the host said it would work; however, she didn't do her research well enough and so during the trip we discovered that we couldn't drive to the waterfall, and were not even told where it was to walk to it, other than that it was far. We still had a lovely walk in the mountains, but not what we'd planned or paid for. She did adjust the price some to accommodate the disappointment.
Her English was excellent, for which we were grateful. The driver she hired spoke no English. She produced a professional looking plan for the trip.
I was pleased to help Maria with her 5 hour trip to Agalyk and I'm happy to hear that she had a lovely walk in the mountains. However, I admit that there few drivers who can speak english in Uzbekistan, we will try to work on it and hire english speaking drivers in the future. I hope Maria and her friends enjoyed their trip in Uzbekistan :)
★★★★
Shahlo and Dyora really helped us before the trip with lot of questions we asked. Guide in Samarkand and Tashkent was excellent. We faced problem of vehicle in Samarkand (which they unable to change due to transportation issue).
I will suggest you to book with them as they are cooperative, ready to help.
I was pleased to meet Manish and his group in Samarkand. I hope they liked their trip in Uzbekistan))
