    Great excursion

    Miguel_O, Apr 2026
    This was a filled and fantastic 2-day adventure. The guide, Ulan, was like a brother and a father to us with loads of dedication and good humor. I didn't do the horse ride, but those who did said it was good fun.

    The experience was great!...

    The experience was great! The tour leader was very helpful, polite, and gave us time to enjoy the place. No rushing. So if you're going here, I suggest you take this tour and enjoy. No need to rush. Just enjoy Kyrgyzstan!

    A tour worth with your money and time

    Very interesting tour with so much fun. Our guide Faruk is very professional and care of his group. A strongly recommended short tour.

    I Want to Come Back Every Year! (Thanks, Ambar!)

    【English as follows】 ツアーに参加するか、1人で回るか、迷っていましたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです!! 移動の時間が長いことや、ハイキングや乗馬など、少し体力が必要ではあるものの、キルギスを全身で感じることができるツアーなので、キルギスに旅行する人にはぜひ参加してほしいです!! 少人数ツアーなので、(私が参加したときは私含めて4人)、目的地までの道中でドライバーさんとたくさんキルギスの話や、その他のトピックについて会話できます! 目的地のIssyk KulやBarskoon Waterfallは、私がこれまで訪れた数々の自然の中で、もっとも穏やかで、静かで、本当に心が癒される場所でした。毎年行きたい目的地と言っても過言ではないです(笑) 参加すべきか、迷っている人は参加することを強くおすすめします!! ドライバーのAmbarさん、本当にありがとうございました!!(日本に来るときは連絡くださいね~) -----English------- I was torn between traveling solo or joining a tour, but I’m so glad I chose this one! Be prepared for long drives and some physical activity like hiking and horseback riding, but it’s the best way to truly experience Kyrgyzstan with all your senses. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting! Since it's a small group tour (there were only four of us), we had plenty of time to chat with our driver about Kyrgyz culture and many other topics along the way. Issyk-Kul and Barskoon Waterfall were some of the most peaceful and serene natural spots I’ve ever visited. I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said I want to go back every year! If you're on the fence, definitely book it. A huge thank you to our driver, Ambar! Please let me know if you ever come to Japan!

    Great trip, really...

    Amazing 2-day trip Issik Kul

    Dhylane_N, Aug 2025
    Amazing 2-day trip with our guide Anwar. The itinerary is as described with the excellent explanations from our guide that knows his country very well, always keen to share anecdotes and a few stories. He made it very simple for us to explore the different locations. Special shoutout to the eagle hunter, the experience was truly fantastic with again Anwar doing the translator so that we could ask all the questions we wanted. The stay at the yurt camp was a delight, nice meals and very comfortable beds. I highly recommend this tour.

    Wonderful experience

    Anke_F, Oct 2025
    The tour was sensational. We were only two guests and our professional guide adjusted individually to our wishes. So we could linger longer in the gorge and take pictures. The yurt camp was very good, located right on the lake, fantastic traditional food & hot showers. The eagle show was fantastic! Great to look at these beautiful creatures so close! Comfortable car. My special thanks go to our guide, who has always tried to take care of us! These two days will stay in my memory for a long time!!! Thank you for that!
