Half-day food tour starting from Hotel Uzbekistan that includes a visit to Chorsu Bazaar; the most expensive of the listed tours, so compare inclusions.
The Half-Day Gastronomic Tour with Chorsu Visit is a guided food tour of about 4.5 hours in central Tashkent, Uzbekistan, operated by GlobeUnity and listed on Expedia. The meeting point is Hotel Uzbekistan at 45 Mustaqillik Avenue, a large Soviet-era landmark facing Independence Square, and the listing includes pickup there. The operator's own track record and years in business are not stated in the listing, so visitors should check the booking page for details.
The route links the central city with Chorsu Bazaar in the Old City, where about one hour is spent walking the domed main hall and the surrounding stalls of bread, spices, dried fruit, nuts and meat. The remaining time covers other tasting stops in central Tashkent, where local dishes are sampled. The listing does not publish the exact number of stops or the dish list, but Uzbek food tours of this type typically feature plov, samsa, noodle soups and grilled meat alongside tea, with sweets such as halva and dried fruit as the lighter counterpoint. Visitors should confirm the menu with the operator.
The tour is priced at about $190 per adult (about 2,280,000 UZS), making it the most expensive of the food tours listed for Tashkent. The listed inclusions are hotel pickup, about one hour at Chorsu Bazaar and tastings of local dishes. Transport between stops, drinks and gratuities should be confirmed at booking, as should group size, guiding language and whether vegetarian or other dietary substitutions are possible. Because the premium price is higher than the roughly $89-139 asked for a comparable Chorsu-focused walk, visitors may want to compare inclusions, group size and the level of private service before choosing.
The pace is that of a half-day city tour, mixing short rides or walks with sit-down tastings, and it suits visitors staying near Mustaqillik Avenue who prefer a single pickup point.
