We are a professional, family-run tour organization based in Samarkand, specializing in cultural, historical, and immersive tours across Uzbekistan. Founded by Shodiyor Daniyarov — a licensed tour operator, linguist, and experienced guide — our team combines academic expertise with authentic local storytelling.
Our founder graduated from the Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Languages (Faculty of Philology) and later completed a Master’s degree in Linguistics. With more than 12 years of professional experience in tourism, education, translation, and interpretation, our organization is built on a strong academic and literary foundation.
In addition to guiding and tour operations, we are actively engaged in international publishing projects. Several of our books were published in France by Éditions L'Harmattan in Paris, including:
Parlons Karachay-Balkar (co-authorship)
Parlons Khakas (co-authorship)
Parlons Shor (co-authorship)
Le Bûcheron et le Lion
Nénuphar / Niluphar – Conte ouzbek (trilingual French–Uzbek–Russian)
We also contributed to Guide de l’Ouzbékistan (Peuples du Monde, France, 480 pages), presenting Uzbekistan’s rich cultural and historical heritage to French-speaking readers.
Among other important literary projects is the Uzbek translation (co-authorship) of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, published in Tashkent in 2020, as well as Uzbek Folktales (Clever Fox Press, Great Britain).
Our organization brings together a close-knit team of family members and trusted colleagues who offer tours in English, French, and Russian. We specialize in the history, architecture, legends, and living traditions of Uzbekistan. Our storytelling approach blends academic depth with engaging narratives, making each tour informative, immersive, and memorable.
We design tours that reveal not only the famous Silk Road monuments but also the hidden stories, local traditions, and authentic atmosphere that define Uzbekistan. Whether guiding individual travelers, families, educational groups, or cultural delegations, we are committed to professionalism, warmth, and high-quality service.
Our mission is to share the beauty, heritage, and spirit of Uzbekistan with the world — through both travel experiences and literary work.
