Sep 2024 • Couples We had a great day with Sunnat, a terrific guide. He picked us up at our hotel, took us shopping at a huge market and then we headed out to a family home to cook and eat. The family was very welcoming and kind. We chopped the meat and vegetables and then stirred them over the fire; we also helped make bread. We ate together and really enjoyed the children, who were very engaged in the whole process. A very special day.

Jan 2026 • Family A cooking class with Shodiyor and Barchinoy was one of the highlights of our trip to Samarkand. It was so much fun to go on a guided tour of a local market, the fruits and vegetables were incredibly vibrant, and having a local explain more about the produce, it was a wonderful way to experience everyday life in Samarkand. After shopping for ingredients, we went to their family home on the peaceful outskirts of Samarkand, where we cooked plov and non (traditional Uzbek bread). It was my first time cooking over an open wood fire. The cooking class was hands-on we chopped all the ingredients, prepared the dough, and cooked everything in the most traditional Uzbek way. We also had the chance to meet Shodiyor and Barchinoy’s warm and welcoming family, which added to the feeling of being a guest in someone’s home rather than a tourist. Easily one of the most unique things to do in Samarkand, would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a local experience in Samarkand beyond the typical sightseeing. I did this cooking class with my parents and they equally loved it!

  03,02,2024 Это гораздо больше чем экскурсия! Это приглашение в гости к местным жителям! Я осталась в восторге. Благодарю гостеприимную хозяйку за тёплую встречу, рассказы с местным колоритом, искренность и широту души. Сначала мы поехали на базар покупать морковку, рис, мясо для плова, после мы его сами приготовили на открытом огне в казане. Помимо этого сделали несколько тандырных лепешек, выпекли их! Была рада познакомиться с такой гостеприимной семьей, помимо самой хозяйки мы пообщались с её папой (колоритный мужчина в чапане и тюбетейке, который поддержит светский разговор), ребятишками и трехцветной кошкой. Плов получился очень вкусный ✅ От души благодарю за такую потрясающую возможность погрузиться в узбекский быт и колорит.
