Bishkek Tours, Tickets & Excursions

"Climbing the narrow stairs to the top of Burana Tower. The drive up into the mountains and water fall were very scenic. Our guide Maksat was great his English was excellent."

"The long hike sometimes really challenging, my hiking boots were almost falling apart. Talgat found someone fixing the shoes when visiting the markets during the city tour. The views hiking up to the waterfall are stunning. Meeting his lovely family and having dinner with them was a good treat at the end of the tour."

"Our mountain journey in the snow was awesome. Ash was super patient and supportive of this slow and inexperienced hiker, and by the end of the descent, I felt like a mountain goat. Side note, the snow in Ala Archa was completely gorgeous. Fluffy, fresh, and it sparkled in the sunlight magically. We also made friends with a bird who I swear encouraged me down one of the last steep hills! I highly recommend this tour and anything offered by Ash and his company."

"Nice and competent guide with good English, Nice nature, very convenient car, would recommend this tour"

"The whole tour was an amazing experience. We had a wonderful time driving around the "Issyk Kul Lake", stopping by many stunning places. We had the feeling that we were really in touch with the Kyrgyz culture. Very Recommended."

"This experience was absolutely great! Aimer was an amazing guide and her English is exceptional! Our, driver, Yusup was also very professional! Be sure to add this day trip to your itinerary when visiting beautiful Kyrgyzstan!"

"Everything was well organized. Our guide and driver, Almaz, was brilliant (pun intended), he made sure we had time to see all the sights, ensured our safety when hiking on treacherous terrain, was flexible and adjusted the schedule to our needs. We would’ve loved to spend another day or two around Issyk-Kul, unfortunately our schedule didn’t allow for it. Highly recommend this tour (esp. if a longer tour is not possible)."

"Great tour with knowledgable guide. An excellent way to discover the natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan. Highly recommended"

"I spent a beautiful fall day exploring the valley on horseback. Even though I didn't ride a horse for 44 years, I had no trouble with my pony. Overall, it was a pleasant afternoon that I would highly recommend."

"I can't imagine our Kyrgyzstan trip without Aibek and this tour. We were able to do and see so much more than if we had tried to do it ourselves or tried to do simply day trips from Bishkek. Aibek really made it special; his happy manner, taste in music, and bottomless jokes made everything even more enjoyable. He was able to adapt the trip to fit our tastes (I highly recommend adding the horseback riding and eagle show!) and he balanced activities and resting well. If you're wondering about a tour; just book it! You won't regret it!"

"This tour is really fantastic. Our guide, Mr. Ash, is really a gem and you will be lucky to have him. He is really great with communication, even before the tour he is in contact with you and answers your questions. His English is native and he is a library of information. I am very happy with everything he did for us and his patients with us. He gave us a lot of advice and helped me understand Kyrgyzstan much better. I highly recommend him and wish I had him on the other tour I took."

"If it were ever fitting to describe an experience as “magical”, it would be this experience. Kyrgyz Canyons tour hosted some of the most breathtaking landscapes I had seen in all of the world, including Konorchek Canyons, Skaska Canyon and Issy Kul. In addition, there were marvels of the Silk Road to be enjoyed in Tokmok at Burana Tower. To top off this heavenly experience, my guide, Begaly, was absolutely angelic. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and informative, he could not have been more gracious, accommodating and gentle-mannered. The staff at the very comfortable yurt camp operated by Feel Nomad were kind, friendly and hospitable, and they were great with accommodating difficult dietary restrictions and language barriers. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this excursion or make a strong enough recommendation to see it for yourself. The best of Kyrgyzstan awaits!"

"Everything was wonderful.. the smile does not leave them, the generosity and the search for complete satisfaction.. I highly recommend this trip"

"We had a great experience on the Heart of Kyrgyzstan trip and really got all the program promised an more. Being part of a tour with a medium sized group (8ppl) proved a perfect balance of guided travel and adventurous exploring. When we stayed at hotels or guesthouses, they were always very nice, clean and comfortable, and our stays at yurt camps felt cozy and authentic. All the food was delicious, including many local dishes, but often also offering a variety of other fare, and usually offering a wide selection of delicious teas. Most notably, it was always plentiful and we never lacked anything. Even the times when we picnicked at some scenic spot out in nature, we were provided an impressive spread. The tour programme was a great mix of nature and culture, with museums, ancient monuments, markets, traditional yurt camps, and breathtaking hikes. The optional horse riding on the mountain plateau, meeting a traditional eagle hunter, and learning all about how to produce and construct a yurt were our particular highlights of the trip. The fact that some meals and stays are hosted by local people at their farms or homes made the tour feel even more special. And there were always some great landscapes to admire on the drive in between sites. We travelled in a very comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van and our driver Sergei was very experienced and skillful, making sure we got to where we needed to safely and timely. Our guides Merrin and Jyldyz did a great job showing us around and answering all our questions. The two of us mainly spoke English while the rest of the tour spoke French, so our guides (who spoke excellent French and good English) did their best to keep everyone equally informed. The whole tour overall was planned excellently, as the timing of sites to visit and activities to do was great, we never felt rushed nor bored, and they provided a good balance of structure and flexibility. While all three of our guides were very professional, they were also very approachable and we had a lot of fun with them. When we were struck by some travel sickness, they went above and beyond to accommodate us, e.g. by providing us white rice at all meals and helping us to get medicine at local pharmacies."
