An amazing experience of Kyrgyzstan in 5 days!

5.00We went on the 5 day trip with visit Bishkek in July 2024 and it has been absolutely stunning! Our amazing driver and tour guide Ruslan has navigated us through the streets of Kyrgyzstan and showed us the highlights of this hidden gem. From sleeping in a traditional Yurt camp the Son-Kul lake at 3.000m elevation to wonderful mountain and canyon views near the Issyk Kul lake, the tour had it all in a very compact amount of time. I can recommend this experience to everyone who wants to have a great overview of the country in a short time. Once again - thank you to Ruslan for the great experience!!
A good way to get a taste of Kyrgyzstan

5.00Well organized trip with a private guide. You will drive with a 4x4 from Bishkek to Son-Kul and around Issyk-Kul back to Bishkek. The food and accommodations (4 nights, 2 of them in Yurt camps) where good! The daily activities are somewhat flexible (i.e. if you want to do horse riding or stop somewhere for a swim). A good way to get a taste of Kyrgyzstan :) Thanks to my guide Ruslan!
Beautiful Country with a lovely guide

5.00Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country but many of the must visit lakes and sights are far spread across the country. The terrain is beautiful but very challenging to self drive. The history is varied and culture is diverse. This is where Visit Bishkek was so good and ensured that we a enjoyable and rewarding experience in this country. Aibek is a great guide. He pays so much attention to every little details. A man very genuine and very experienced in his field. The hotels and home stays and yurts were carefully selected and the food choices were adapted to our dietary needs. Changes, even if a the last minute, were gladfully accommodated into the itinerary. Aibek did everything he could to ensure we had a fantastic stay in Kyrgyzstan. I will strongly recommend his services
So much to discover

5.00I 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!
