Private tour for my friend and I! - It was really fun and beautiful. My friend and I paid an extra 50 usd per pax as we didn't hit the minimum requirements for the amount of people so we got the private tour. It was really enjoyable, getting to experience all these beautiful things in a more private setting.

Brilliant time on a super tour - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour which was a great way to see Kyrgyzstan. We visted lots of places over the 2 days. The eagle man was a particular highlight and the Yurt camp was brilliant, particularly the food at the camp. We travelled as a family and all the family members thought the tour was great.

Fun and adventurous tour! - Interesting and adventurous tour! Adilet was a great tour guide. Visited Burana tower, Konorchek canyon, Issyk Kul lake, fairytale canyon, and had a horse ride and eagle hunting demo. The yurt camp was first class, exceeded expectations, really nice meals and cosy yurt. My highlight was the eagle demonstration, that was very special and such an incredible animal. Also climbing ropes up icey rocks in Konorchek canyon was super fun! In terms of improvements, I think the only thing would be that I would have felt safer if helmets were provided for the horse riding. It can be dangerous to fall from a 2m horse and hit your head on a rock, people die from that. So in future if a helmet was provided that would be good 👍

Wonderful Issyk-kul trip - Big thanks to our guide Adilet, he was very informative and helpful throughout the whole trip. I personally have no issue during the trip, everything went smooth even though a bit different from initial plan. The destinations was amazing, but Yurt stay & eagle show was the most memorable to me. Also I love this tour punctuality as I like being on-time :)
