Obidjon

We had a 10 days trip from Dushanbe to Osh with Obid as our guide. He organized car and driver as well as appropriate accommodations. Especially we enjoyed our stay in the Museum-Pamir-house and the yurt stay. On our way Obid showed us interesting historical and cultural places. He suggested to take a bath the hot springs, which was a great experience.

Obid is a very friendly guy who really cares about his customers. He is always interested and responsive on his guests requirements. His English is good.

We liked and appreciate the conversation about culture and traditions. Thank you, Obid, and good luck!

Things went well, especially considering the notice was very short. Obidjon improvised a lot but we had a great time overall. He has an honest interest in his country and it’s history, so it’s actually possible to have a good dialogue about this. It was a great experience.

We are a group of two from Hong Kong that had Obid as our guide for a day tour from Penjikent to Dushanbe. He waited for us patiently at the border and helped us with anything we needed during the trip such money exchange, water, postcards and restaurants. He speaks good English and knows a lot about the people, history, politics of Tajikistan. As a history major in college, I'm quite satisfied with the readings and research he has done. We can tell Obid is eager to develop a successful career as a tour guide. We wish him all the best and would definitely recommend Obid to other travelers who wanna explore any parts of Tajikistan with a welcoming, reliable and helpful guide.

I travelled along the Silk Road from east to west for nearly 4 months last year. I occasionally met Obidjon on the street in Dushanbe during August at that time, and he actively approached me and became my tour guide for 3 days voluntarily. He was very kind hanging me around and showing me some places. In addition, he is a friendly and nice guy. Furthermore, he can speak and understand English fairly well. As a result, I had a very good experience with him and he made my trip so memorable as well fruitful.

Therefore, I would like to recommend him for other travellers, and wish your organisation keep helping more indy-guides like Obidjon.

he speaks english very well, knows the most interesting places of Tajikistan (Iskandarkull, Pamir, Khudzhand, Vahdat...) and is able to display them well; he is friendly, helpful and can lead tourists to any activities they can want to do. He actually has some experience in being a tour guide, even if it was not professionnal but with friends of him. I plan myself to come back to Tajikistan next year, partly because of how Obid made me discover the country.
