Bishkek Natural landmarks sightseeing Trips

Rifa our leader was great over Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan. The over all trip gave a great insight to Central Asia. A number of the countries it would be great to explore them further. As they had so much to offer.

This is a trip of two contrasting halves, Kyrgyzstan for scenery, Uzbekistan for buildings. Difficult to assign stars when one half was a lesser experience for me. Kyrgyzstan was wonderful, stunning scenery, picnic spots, destinations. I highly recommend. The felt carpet making was very interesting. I recommend asking to see the golden eagle demonstration (an extra). Food was very good with plenty of vegetables. The walk to walnut forest is steep for the first and last 45mins. The track is high, exposed and gravelly. This was noted 7 years ago by a reviewer but the notes still not updated. You don’t need a sleeping bag or liner for the yurt camp, the bedding provided is fine. Accommodation good. Long drives but amazing scenery everywhere. We had an excellent guide who was friendly, knowledgeable and professional, thank you Aysulu. Uzbekistan - wonderful buildings, old cities and interesting history (but all has been extensively rebuilt). A completely different feel to Kyrgyzstan. The itinerary was as described however no excursions or information was given on the development of silk, wool or cotton along the silk road. This seemed a missed opportunity to me given the rich history and importance of textiles to this region. Would also bring variety to the roll call of mosques, mausoleums and madrasas. The yurt camp in Uzbekistan was mediocre and the long drive there and back not so interesting. Our guide was informed and friendly but there was some confusion at times within the group as to what was happening and when. She helped us enormously when we were sick, for which we were particularly grateful, thank you Maftuna. Yes I'm glad I did the trip to Uzbekistan but feel we could have organized it ourselves, (and searched out more textile history). Kyrgyzstan was perfect for a group tour and would be very hard to see by yourself.

Very impressed and exceeded our expectations. Great group of like minded people that were on our tour and we all got on so well. With ages spanning over 30 years that’s a pretty pleasing result!!

What a lovely trip from start to finish, two very contrasting countries, Kyrgyzstan's scenery was amazing and the architecture in Uzbekistan was stunning. Special mention to Aysu Luu and Andre, our leader and driver in Kyrgyzstan, they couldn't do enough for us.

Absolutely brilliant! I’ve already shared this tour and my trip all over my social media and have had some many people interested in doing the same! I feel very fortunate to have experienced this part of the world but 100% the main reason for it being so so good was because of Lilia

I recommend the uzbequistan trip I didn’t enjoy much kirjistan. The guides were excellent but I should have gone just to uzbequistan as there is not much in kirjistan. Kirjistan is about nature, the trip is too long for what it is and quite boring. I want also to return to Uzbekistan however your basic trip doesn’t include Fergana valley. I strongly recommend you sell a 2 day extension to include rishtam and Fergana valley. All the trip in Uzbekistan was a must
