5.00My friend and I booked this trip with Nuriza back in October, and it was absolutely incredible. Nuriza is an amazing tour guide—professional, caring, and really funny. She showed us some of the most breathtaking parts of Kyrgyzstan, from tall mountains and giant lakes to stunning canyons. She shared stories, tales, and the history of every place we visited, and we never got bored. We got to see so much of the country’s natural beauty and culture, and it was truly unforgettable. One of the highlights was horse riding, which Nuriza arranged for us at short notice. Riding through the valley was such an incredible experience—the scenery was so beautiful that words can’t do it justice. We also saw a Kyrgyz eagle, tried shooting arrows, and experienced so much of the local hospitality and traditions. It was a perfect mix of adventure and culture. The accommodation was comfortable, and the food was delicious, giving us a real taste of Kyrgyz cuisine. This was actually my second time booking a trip with Nuriza, and I hope it won’t be my last. She’s more than just a guide—she’s become a friend that I've made beautiful memories with. I highly recommend booking this tour with Nuriza. Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country that’s still unknown to many, and she’s the best guide to help you explore it. She’ll make you feel welcomed, comfortable, and right at home. If you’re thinking about visiting, don’t hesitate—Nuriza will make sure your trip is unforgettable!
