    Bishkek tour in snow

    Gayathri_M, Feb 2026
    Alex was amazing! He was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, informative, and kind. It was a miserable winter day, but we enjoyed walking around the city and learning so much about the country, the city, history, their hero’s, and a whole lot more. Time flew by. He also helped us with some recommendations for the evening for places to eat and such. This was time well spent and I highly recommend this tour with Alex.

    Fun walking tour with Alex. He is very interested in the history of Bishkek and the local culture and comes across as quite knowledgeable.

    Interesting and varied itinerary with knowledgeable guide

    Daniel_M, Aug 2023
    The tour around Bishkek was interesting and tailor made to my interests. From seeing many of the Central sights and monuments to learning more about the history of the city and the culture of its people. I would recommend this tour to give a good overview of the city and is suitable for first time visitors to Bishkek and Kyrgyzstan.

    Walking tour preciso, completo y ameno

    Carmen_S, Apr 2026
    Muy completa , guía muy enérgica e interesada en responder dudas preguntas así como aportar valor agregado con muchas más información. Cómo es un tour caminando, ayuda tener un break y parar por café o algo refrescante y lo pudimos hacer ! Recomiendo este tour

    He lacked

    beatrizaurora_g, Sep 2025
    They lack to improve in attention, for example taking pictures of the client, being more paused the guide talks a lot non-stop, and for example hair if the tour is 3 hours only gave us a pedestrian tour of 2 hours, grateful with the attention but the tour we did not like.
