Great packed full day trip with main Kyrgiz sights. - It’s a packed and long day but you get to see a lot of the main sights. With a great guide (ours was Meerim) the day will be very worth, knowledgeable and entertaining!

Very interesting and pretty - We had an amazing time on this tour with our guide Ayana. Everything was very well organized, and all the places we visited were absolutely beautiful. What made the tour especially memorable, however, was our guide. Ayana not only provided interesting information about each place we visited, but also shared so much engaging insight about Kyrgyzstan in general. Thanks to her, we learned a lot about the country, its culture, and its history throughout the tour. She explained everything in an interesting and enjoyable way that it made the whole experience even more special.

Nice tour (with disappointing veg food option) - Very nice tour. The guide Mireem was helpful and knowledgeable. The bus was comfortable. Only disappointment was the vegetarian food. The sides were good but the main dish was disappointing. 3 different nice places visited. Recommended
