5.00Great tour to see Ala-Archa, and also perfect timing for the tour because when we arrived there was no people but when started walking back there was loads. Also joined the city tour after this for extra $10 and was worth it. Thank you so much for a great day trip :))

5.00Well organised tour and great guide. Unfortunately, on the day of the tour it was foggy and wasn’t able to see anything. I’d however still recommend this tour, maybe check the forecast and change the date if you have the flexibility.
Highly recommended day trip from Bishkek

5.00Truly a fabulous tour. Since no one else booked, I had the opportunity to make it a private tour, and it did not disappoint. The Mountain View. The opportunity to really enjoy the beautiful nature- all spectacular! Since we had extra time, the guide really made the experience personal. I can’t recommend enough!

5.00The tour was great - just what we wanted: a simple, half-day outing with lots of time in nature and not too much driving! Our guide, Andrei, was very friendly and knowledgeable and he let us go at our own pace. We spotted lots of birds and a couple of squirrels 🐿️
