He is an excellent guide and always provide us all the guidance needed and explained all the details well when we asked . He took good care of us especially in the ski resort as it is very cold up there in the mountain but very nice view and great experience . We really appreciate all his assistance and professionalism.

and overall, it was a fantastic way to explore some of the most iconic landmarks in the area. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, giving us not only the history behind each place but also some local insights that we would have missed otherwise. The tour covered all the key spots—museums, historical buildings, and scenic viewpoints.
One of the best parts of the tour was the personal touch. The guide made an effort to engage with everyone in the group and was very approachable for questions. We also had some free time to wander around on our own, which was a great balance between structured sightseeing and self-exploration.

It was a wonderful trip to Shimbulak and the guide was so helpful in all the ways. My kids had never done skiing, there we have the opportunity to learn with proper instructors. Kids confidently did skiing within 10 minutes which is really appreciable.
