Bishkek City Tour - First of all, I want to thank Ventura Tours Kyrgyzstan for accepting my booking on such short notice, I know I must have caused utter chaos for those poor employees. Sezim was my tour guide; she was very nice and answered my boring questions. Our driver was also very friendly and receptive to my broken Russian. I quite enjoyed everything on the itinerary - if I wanted to spend extra time on something or take pictures Sezim was patient and happy to snap pics of me (as you will see below, she did a good job). As usual, I look fantastic. I think my favorite moments was our stroll through a couple parks to look at monuments as well as our venture into the Osh Bazaar - I have never seen so much horse meat in my life. Very exciting things, plus I recommend having a guide take you through the bazaar because it is a maze... plus there are insights you may miss if you roam without a native. I highly recommend this trip for tourists in Bishkek - it was a good day trip and it's worth your time!

A+ TOUR GUIDE - Absolutely one of the best tours. Ash our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history of Bishkek and of Kyrgyzstan. He made the history come alive for us. There wasn’t one monument or statue that we painted to that he did not know the history of. He kept pace with us old ladies instead of rushing us around. He was patient and kind. The tour was amazing and we did get a lot of ground covered. I highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing tour of Bishkek and Burana Tower - Overall this was an amazing tour. Ash is a great guide, he knows his city and country well and is really happy to chat with you about it and answer any questions you have. I learned a lot about the history of the country, got a great tour of Bishkek and of Burana Tower. I had a lot of requests to stop for photos of horses on the windy scenic mountain road back to Bishkek and Ash and the guide were happy to stop for me. Ash does longer tours and if I ever return I would like to try one of those out as it's a beautiful country.

Highly recommended - One of those perfectly crafted one day tours if you don't have a huge amount of time in Bishkek but appreciate a local guide taking you around for the day. My guide Boka was great as was the driver - a highly recommended tour.

a perfect day - Was just an amazing tour ash my guide really brought the history and culture of both the Burana tower and Bishkek, i was blown away by my guides knowledge of both the city and the tower. Ashs was generally a lot of fun to be around, i learnt a lot about Kyrgyzstan that i never knew and his level of English is that of a native speaker so i had no issues on that front. tower had some beautiful scenery got some great photos. tour also includes a meal in a local restaurant which really added to the exercise as it was a local place not some tourist trap, this tour is great value for money. if you're in Bishkek for a short amount of time this is a perfect tour to do, the fact that this tour also combines a tour of the city is a bonus, the tower is not that far for the city, so you really do get alot from this tour.

Must do if you're here for just a weekend - I had an amazing day with Ash, our driver, plus a friend of mine who joined me in my weekend trip to Bishkek. Ash took us to all the main sights of Bishkek city, giving a personal view of the history of the city, and then drove us to Burana where we climbed the tower. We also had a fantastic meal, plus Ash got us some snacks and local drinks to taste.
