Highlight of my trip! - I took a solo trip to Central Asia and this excursion was definitely the highlight. The Burana tower was super cool, food wad SPECTACULAR and the hike on the canyon was the cherry on top of a perfect day. Anvar was my guide and he was fantastic. Must do if you're in Bishkek.

City Tour and Burana Tower Tour and a costumized Arts and Museum Tour - I booked my tour with Datka Travels and was fascinated with their professionalism. At first is the visit on Medieval Burana Tower and Bishkek City Tour which i would say a one of a kind tour in Bishkek, learning the history and understanding the way they live was an absolute bonus, explaining it in details. My guide Farukh was fantastic, answers my every detailed questions and so patient accompanying me places i would love to see. Thanks to Talgat who arranged my tour. The second day tour was a costumized arts and museum tour and the highlight of the day is the visit to the Great Emptiness Museum outskirt of Bishkek. That made my day with fantastic paintings and unique architecture of the museum. I have met the artist as well personally. To my surprise, lunch is also included on both days. So i had the chance to taste the proper gastronomic cuisine of Kyrgyzstan. Once again, Thank you Talgat and Farukh for accomodating me and for the warm welcome in Bishkek.

Trip to the Burana Tower well worth the trip - and lots to see in Bishkek. - An excellent day. The drive out to the tower was really interesting, scenery was ever changing with those magnificent mountains getting closer and the conversation with Farouq very informative. The tower and the surrounds (yurt and museum) well worth the trip. Super lunch! Back in Bishkek, lots to see wandering the central area, so much history. The National Museum is certainly worth a visit. Thank you Talgat and Farouq.

Solo Female Traveler - Highly recommend Mr. Talgat. Had a last minute plan for Burana Tower + City tour and with a short notice he seamlessly organized my tour and sent my guide after few hour. A friendly and well spoken english local guy Mr. Aza picked me up and accompanied me with the rest of my trip and finally dropping me off in my hotel safely. indeed, He is a star! Over all amazing experience that will not break your bank!

Great place to visit if you like history and great guide! - It's a great place to visit if you like history, but note the Burana tower has been reconstructed. Nevertheless, it's very close to what it was before. The guide always made sure I was OK during the trip.

Good Introduction to Bishkek and more - This was a great day trip for those looking to explore Bishkek, but also maybe thinking about venturing out into the countryside a bit to see one of the attractions associated with the Silk Road. Highly suggested!

Full day trip went very well - I had an amazing day overall. They made sure I didn’t miss out on anything. Passionately showed me around everything. I didn’t feel boring at all throughout the trip. It was always something interesting. Definitely looking for their other trips to complete soon since they are very passionate about what they do.
