Two days enjoying the Hunan riverside and its history and culture - Although the reservation was last minute, you handled it with such politeness, and you set up a wonderful schedule and route that matched our wishes and budget. I sincerely thank you. I am very satisfied with the detailed escort provided by the young driver and guide. In particular, I saw the golden eagle show in various places along the way, but I think the place we were taken to was the most wonderful, including the location and the program. Thank you for the fulfilling two days.

Fantastic two-day Issyk-Kul experience - I had a wonderful time on this tour. Communication with the company was excellent from the beginning, and our guide, Aqai, was friendly, attentive and created a lovely atmosphere throughout the trip. The itinerary was very well organised without ever feeling rushed. The scenery around Issyk-Kul was beautiful, and the activities—including horseback riding and the eagle show—were genuinely fun and memorable. The yurt stay was extremely comfortable. As a solo traveller, I particularly appreciated being given a private yurt rather than having to share with strangers. It made the experience feel even more relaxing and special. The food throughout the trip was also delicious and plentiful. This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Kyrgyzstan, and I would happily recommend both the experience and the agency—especially to other solo travellers.

Thoroughly enjoyed - This was a thoroughly enjoyable 2 day trip, Manas was our guide and he was excellent throughout, our driver was Aza who we felt extremely safe with, even on the many kms of unmade roads! We had a small group of 7 of us, and it was a lovely mix of people. The overnight stay in the yurt and food provided was exceptional, and the visits to the canyons and waterfalls were breathtaking. The eagle show was an incredible experience. Manas really was extremely knowledgeable and the best host throughout the trip, and despite the rain that we were unfortunate to encounter, it didn't stop us from seeing everything that was on the itinerary, although there was a slight change to the canyon visited on the first day due to inaccessibility. Horse riding was thoroughly enjoyable, and we would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore some of the beautiful landscape that Kyrgyzstan has to offer.
