Bishkek City Tour with Aigul: A Personal Journey Through Kyrgyzstan's Capital Join Aigul, a true local, for an insightful 2-hour walking tour of Bishkek, where she’ll share her unique personal journey and offer you a glimpse into life in Kyrgyzstan’s vibrant capital. Aigul moved to Bishkek at the age of 2, and over the years, she has lived in various parts of the city—from the upper microregions, historically home to doctors and teachers, to the lively area near Osh Bazaar, where small trade is the lifeblood of the community. Aigul’s deep connection to the city is rooted in her experiences: she attended one of the best state schools in the city center, studied at a music school, and actively participated in sports. Although she was just a child when the Soviet Union dissolved, Aigul has gathered rich stories from the older generation, including her own family, and has an active understanding of modern-day Bishkek, following local politics and the laws that shape daily life.
