The pickup was right at our hotel. As we had already seen a portion of Bishkek, the guide was very willing to to show us sites that we did not see earlier. His flexibility was greatly appreciated. It was a very positive experience.

I loved the buggy tour, the beach is beautiful and the cave has a special charm. The local coffee we tried was the golden clasp of the tour.

This was a fascinating tour that included all the highlights of Bishkek. My husband and I spent the day with Farukh, our very knowledgeable tour guide. He deftly navigated the crazy traffic of Bishkek, taking us to the State History Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, various outdoor monuments, the Osh Market, and a popular Kyrgyz restaurant, where we experienced an authentic Kyrgyz meal. Our tour even included a performance at the Opera House and a stop at the Central Mosque, one of the largest in central Asia. If you want to experience this rich and beautiful culture, I highly recommend this tour with Farukh,
Great tour

Had so much fun in the market with Faruk's guidance. I tried horse meat sausage, different local drinks that were so refreshing and horse milk. And one of the many highlights was he took me to a local restaurant for lunch and explained the whole menu to me in a way that was easy to understand. Now, when I go to another Kyrgyz food restaurant I know exactly what I want to get.
