Great Experience! - This experience was the favorite thing my group of westerners did in Dushanbe. Everything from booking the experience, to pick up and drop off, transportation, translation of the museum tour, and lunch was smooth and easy. Qiyomiddin loves his country and communicated so much history and culture to us that it made this experience priceless. I highly recommend booking an experience through Bunyod-Tour and I will do so again when I am back in Tajikistan.

Wonderful short tour of Hisor Fortress near Dushanbe - This was a great tour of Hisor Fortress outside Dushanbe. The car was very comfortable and took less than 30 minutes to reach the fortress. The guide explained a lot of history of Tajikistan and was very polite and accommodating. At the fortress, another guide explained the location, history and size of the fort and showed me the ancient relics in the museum. I highly recommend this tour for people interested in history.

Hisar Fortress: History, Views, and Good Vibes! - My experience at Hisar Fortress was absolutely remarkable! The fortress itself is a stunning blend of history and breathtaking views, making it a must-visit destination. I booked my tour through Bunyod Tour, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. My guide was incredibly nice and helpful, providing insightful information about the fortress's rich history and significance. His passion for the site made the tour engaging and enjoyable. He patiently answered all my questions and ensured I didn’t miss any highlights. I highly recommend visiting Hisar Fortress, and if you can, definitely book your tour with Bunyod Tour. Their knowledgeable guides and excellent service will enhance your experience and make it truly unforgettable. Don’t miss the chance to explore this beautiful landmark!

Great day! - Great tour to this fort but most of all Oyatullo told passionate about Tadjikistan that when I go back I want him again as a guide! He also makes your day worth the trip by going to hidden gems in Dushanbe!

Wonderful Guide in Dushanbe - Hokim is a wonderful guide. He’s knowledgeable, friendly and well mannered. He speaks English very well. I enjoyed his tour and also getting to know him. Bunyod as the agency was also easy to work with. They are organized and responsive. I would recommend them to those who are looking to explore Dushanbe and beyond.

Tajikistan Experience - We went to hisor Fortress trip and gusgurf waterfall with this company guide name hashmatullah was great guide and so the driver was. We had two wonderful days and enjoy most the time although I believe both tours were very expensive but guide was Very friendly helpful and made both tours comfortable. You can go to hisor Fortress by yourself for return trip around 40 to 50 dollers for two people if you hire own taxi where we paid $ 150 for 3 hours tour and for gusgurf waterfall we paid $170 dollars. But anyways we had good time in Tajikistan in our stay if you have opportunity please visit this kind and guest full country.
