About FreeWalkingTour

Explore the city with someone who calls it home.

FreeWalkingTour is based in Khiva, where it offers walks through the old town. Local guides in cities across Uzbekistan can now publish their own walking tours and private tours here.

Travelers choose a tour and send a preferred time. The guide confirms or declines. Tips and private-tour prices are paid directly to the guide; the website does not take payment.

How FreeWalkingTour works

Guides write their own tours

Each listing, route and photo comes from the guide who leads it. An administrator reviews guide profiles and tours before they are published.

The guide confirms every time

There is no automatic calendar. Your request waits for the guide, and you’ll know by email whether it is confirmed or declined.

No payment on the website

Free walking tours are tip-based. Private tours show a price per person or per group, or a price on request, paid directly to the guide.
