We will show you Tashkent unbeknown to tourists and visitors and cover different parts of the city including two markets: in the traditional old town and the busy city centre, each offering their best-known local street food. As vegans who grew up in this meat-heavy city we were able to pick the best-to-offer spots for local plant-based street food and wanted to share our knowledge with others and tell the story of our city in a personal and unique way. That means we don't want to make it a typical boring tour of eating food from place to place all the time. Instead we will happily customise it on the go with walks, pictures, stories and people. ------------------ Part of the money from the tour goes to support imprisoned vegan activists.
