The G tour was the perfect way to see Kyrgyzstan & southeast Kazakhstan. We saw and did things that would?ve been difficult to do on our own and we had excellent company with our group and our wonderful guide Dinara.

Nice way to explore Kyrgyzstan

The trip was more about Kyrgyzstan and only a couple of days in Kazakhstan. We visited some of the more interesting attractions of Kyrgyzstan and experienced several activities.
