Can only recommend - We had a great day at Konorchek Canyons. It was very quiet, not many tourists around and the views were magnificent. The trip is about hiking and although the trail is not very demanding, I wouldn't recommend it to people with any mobility/walking limitations. I appreciate very good communication with the tour organizer.

Great trip to see cultural and natural wonders - This tour was great from start to finish! The visit to Burana Tower was really interesting — our guide Andrei shared some stories about its history and the Silk Road. Then we went for an adventurous hike in the Konorchek Canyon, which were absolutely beautiful.
Our guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great time. Everything went smoothly, and the whole day felt relaxed and well organized. Definitely recommend this trip with Datka travel if you’re in Bishkek!

We had amazing guide... - We had amazing guide Farukh, very knowledgeable and helpful. Hike wasn’t very difficult (but you need proper shoes, no sandals or flip-flops). Burana tower is impressive along with stone idols around it. We had two stops for food and it’s also was good. Long and memorable day.

Great Tour & Guide! Both History & Nature in One! - I loved this so much! Faruk is a great guide. The canyon itself contains a pretty level hike, but it's also lengthy and contains a few pretty challenging rock obstacles. Faruk always made sure that my whole group was together and safe wherever we went. The tower is so interesting with all its historical detail, and the view from the Canyons toward the end was stunning and very worth it! Highly recommend!!

Great tour, amazing guides!! - Faruk and Maxim were wonderful guides. They took care of us all day long like royalty. Snacks, cold water (refrigerated in the back), all the breaks we wanted, and lots of interesting info about the sites. The canyon was beautiful and the hike was great. It’s mostly flat with 5 “obstacles”—small climbs up rocks using ropes. Anyone with a decent level of fitness and a good attitude can do it :) We would totally recommend this tour!

Quick and Easy Day Trip - I had the chance to take a day trip with Datka Travel. I was so lovely and our guide was knowledgable and friendly. I thought that it was also pretty decent value of money as well - book this tour if you don't have too long to spend in Bishkek!

Amazing tour that you will regret missing out on - The tour was absolutely amazing and worth every penny. Talagat is very flexible and responsive, he was able to arrange me the tour the night before. And our tour guide Eldar was absolutely a legend, tried everything so we could have everything we needed arranged in our way to the tour, gave advices and explained historical facts about the sites. He was very friendly and helpful, and knowledgeable about this sites.
