Almaz was a good guide with easy to understand English. He is intelligent, had a nice car, gave us time during the tour and we covered a lot of interesting places. He needs to stay with us and not get so far ahead sometimes. I gave him some challenges with my health problems but we still had a very full tour and saw plenty in our full day. Experience will help him improve, but he is already an excellent guide.

Our guide Talgat communicated with us immediately upon booking. He answered numerous questions we had prior to arriving which was very helpful. He organized our day to include special events such as the national game of Kok Buru which was an exciting cultural experience. He split the city tour into two parts, one after picking us up and at the end of the day. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of great stories with us. The trip to Ala Archa National Park was a nice experience. We had wonderful weather to enjoy the fresh mountain air and feed the birds off our hands. Everything was included so there were no surprises. Lunch was at a famous Kyrgyz restaurant. You can't go wrong booking a tour with Talgat as your guide.
