Sait Ablaev.
Your local
in Tashkent.

I was born in Tashkent. For more than 14 years I lived and worked as a guide in Malaysia, welcoming over 10,000 travellers.

Today I offer private tours in Tashkent and its surroundings: discover my hometown or join a day trip into the mountains, with personal attention, local stories and care for the details.

Personal. At your pace.

I offer private tours in Tashkent and its surroundings. Choose a city sightseeing programme or a mountain day trip to Amirsoy, Chimgan, Charvak and Khodjikent. Before we meet, we will discuss your interests, agree on the itinerary and meeting point, and choose a comfortable pace. Each programme has its own duration, price and included services.

Stories from my guests.

Excerpts from reviews of my tours in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia, translated from Russian. More than 14 years of guiding — the same personal care I now bring to Tashkent and its surroundings.

Batu Caves: choosing a quieter, cooler time to visit
Batu Caves is more than a colourful staircase for Instagram photos. It is an important spiritual centre that offers a different experience when you know when and how to visit. In this Russian-language video from my Malaysia guiding archive, I share my approach to planning a visit.
When is the best time to visit Malaysia?
In this Russian-language video, I share a travel-planning tip: why Ramadan can sometimes offer a quieter time to explore Malaysia, with fewer visitors at popular places and opportunities to find lower hotel rates and airfares. Prices and visitor numbers vary by date and destination.
