What are people saying about Bishkek

Jeremy_C, Jul 2026

A Perfect Combination of Nature and City Highlights

This tour included a small and easy hike in Ala Archa National Park, as well as a city tour featuring a visit to a local bazaar and the guard-changing ceremony near the National History Museum. My guide, Eldar, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he helped me take many great photos throughout the day. On the day of my tour, I was the only participant, but the operator was still happy to run the tour as a private experience with only a modest additional charge. I would highly recommend this experience!

All in one-day: Bishkek city tour and Ala-Archa National Park

Noraini_K, Jul 2026

Wonderful tour of Bishkek & Ala-Arch National Park

Great trip in Bishkek and Ala-Arch National Park. The trip to the national park was very scenic & breath taking. Our guide, Elder is very knowledgeable, kind, & funny. He explained to us about some of the trees found in this park that used for medicine & mulberry leaves for silk worms. Our city tour in Bishkek are the Ala-Too square, victory square, central mosque & lunch at Faiza the most popular restaurant among the locals. The lagman noodles is the best that I ever tasted. We have to reschedule the Osh market & national museum as they are closed on Mondays & we are not aware of it when making reservations. The aftersales service (contact) with the operator was very good & professional. We would like to suggest that Viator pay attention to this type of closure & blockout the date/s when places of interests are closed so visitors can make wise choices when making booking. Other than that everything is good. Sure recommend this tour.

This is a can’t miss trip...

This is a can’t miss trip in Kyrgyzstan. The views are spectacular and simply breathtaking. The guide was also very kind and he showed us good spots for photographs. Also he was able to take good video and pictures for us. What I really liked about our guide was he’s picking up and collecting the trashes he encounters along the way and puts it in proper bin.

Fantastic tour and one of the highlights of my time in Kyrgyzstan. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the guide made the experience both fun and informative. The scenery around Song Kul Lake was absolutely stunning, with beautiful mountains, open grasslands, and a real sense of Kyrgyz nomadic life. I especially enjoyed the horse ride and the overnight stay in a yurt. A great experience for anyone wanting to experience Kyrgyzstan’s incredible nature and culture.

Amazing experience

Great overall tour! Manas did a wonderful job taking our group around. We had a small group of 7 people of different nationalities and spoke different languages. He tried his best to ensure everyone was comfortable and safe. We loved every part of the tour from the beautiful hikes to Konorchek Canyon and Skazska. The views were amazing at all places. Beltam Yurt Camp was wonderful. It was a beautiful yurt which was heated and had hot showers! The dinner and breakfast available was also very good. No complaints!

My tour guide was Tulegen. The drive to the park was safe and smooth. He stopped at the supermarket on the way so I could pick up some snacks for the hike. Hike was easy even in the snow, couple of hours, but with gorgeous scenery on the way. Tour guide was with me the whole way. After that we took the cable car and took some pictures there. Was picked up from the hotel on time, and dropped back off to the hotel. Highly recommend this tour.

4 Hours Private Bishkek Food Tasting Tour

Michael_B, Sep 2025

Great insight into life in Bishkek

Our guide Faruk was great. He gave us detailed information about Bishkek and its sights, and, in addition, shared his personal knowledge and life stories with us, which gave us a much better understanding of the country and the city. His engaging personality and enthusiasm contributed greatly to the thoroughly enjoyable time we spent with him – way more time than the 3-4 hours mentioned in the description on the website. We had already taken a city tour and expected more emphasis on food. Faruk was flexible enough and happy to adjust the itinerary to better suit our expectations and did add some more information we did not cover on our other tour. That said, the title “Food Tour” is misleading. Although we were taken to 3 restaurants – a coffee shop, a location that serves a special snack, a local restaurant for lunch, and tasted our way through the food section of the bazaar, the other part of the tour was a general city tour which included the major sites in Bishkek. I would suggest the description of the tour include a more inclusive description of the itinerary, perhaps “Food and City Tour”.

Bishkek Airport Private Arrival or Departure Transfer

Dora_H, Sep 2025

Very good airport transfer in Bishkek

We were very satisfied with the airport transfer. We received all the necessary information on time, including the pickup location, the driver's name and phone number, the car’s license plate, and the type of vehicle. The driver arrived punctually, and the agency contacted us to confirm his arrival. He was polite, helped us with our luggage, and drove very safely. The agency always responded to our inquiries within minutes, and the price was very reasonable. We felt safe at all times and will definitely book with the same agency again next time.
