Ray was an excellent and very personable guide. He has an interesting life experience, speaks easy to understand English and the car was comfortable and clean. I would go with him on another tour.

Great tour to enjoy some spectacular nature outside Bishkek. The Burana Tower shows some great history, the Kegeti Gorge in particular is a sight definitely worth seeing.
