About the tour: Just got back from the tour. I chose between two popular ones on the site, settled on that one and did not regret it. This is my 4th group trip and I can say that everything is well organized. Yes, the tour is quite intense, if you are looking for peace and tranquility, this is not the right option. There are a lot of emotions here, lots of locations. The trips took place every day, but they were not very long. The guide Elena is very good, surrounded us with care and solved absolutely all issues. The driver Alexander is also a great photographer and videographer)
The food was delicious everywhere, we fed a lot, we almost never finished eating) It's convenient that people in Kyrgyzstan speak Russian, there is no barrier.
Nature is gorgeous, from sandy mountains to cliffs, the landscape changes a lot.

About the tour: A beautiful description that is largely at odds with reality. Read ALL tour reviews.

I was on tour from Timofey in mid-June 2026. I must say straight away that the places we visited are really worth visiting. Guide Elena and driver Alexander took maximum care. Hotels and places to stay are interesting and comfortable.

Overall, this is a good tour where you pay for comfort and service, but overpay 30% for marketing. The tour description on the website is heavily embellished, which creates false expectations.

A few examples: Not all inclusive tour: The first and last days are “feasts” in restaurants at your expense. By the way, one of the restaurant employees let it slip that the organizer has a commission on this. On the last evening, we were actually taken to an expensive restaurant with mediocre cuisine and a 40-minute wait for meals. The tour name must correspond to reality. Minus a star for that.

Excessive prices for ancillary services: Activity margins are unreasonably high. For example, an hour-long horse ride cost us 3,500 soms, although a four-hour horse ride with a transfer from Bishkek and dinner in the same gorge costs 2300 soms. Minus one more star for that.

Distortion of the program and descriptions. Tentative measures:

Activity: There is no described hike at 3—7 km per day. The program is often based on the principle of “come, get to the point — 15 minutes of photos — leave”. The pace is rather hasty; there is almost no time for contemplation or “chill”, although the description promises a calm rhythm.

Life and locations: The promised “life of nomads” is the view from the car window. “Secret trails where Timofey has been climbing since childhood” and “legendary places” are ordinary cafes and popular tourist spots. A first-day hotel with “authentic motifs” — standard rooms with a couple of local patterns on the walls.

Factual inaccuracies: The height of the plateau we climbed was actually 3800 m, instead of 4000 m. And this location is available to any all-wheel drive vehicle. There are enough cars there. Including construction equipment. But the place is great in itself. And yes, it was no longer snowing at the point where we left off.

Homemade breakfasts “at the hostess's” turn into a buffet at the hotel; sometimes yurt camps are not on the beach, but within a 20-minute walk, etc.

The real tour lasts 5 days, the other two are just Bishkek and the markets. The prices for souvenirs from the organizer's partners are 4-5 times higher than in the city.

Minus one more star for all this stuff.

Summary: The locations themselves in Kyrgyzstan are great, the tour is good, but the tour description is aggressive marketing that is often not true. If you're looking for an honest service and a relaxing stay, double-check the details carefully, read all the reviews and consider alternatives — there are plenty of them on the market and they are often cheaper.

Timofey's wish is to bring the tour description into line with reality.

About the tour: A tour portal from the world of deadlines, calls, video conferencing, open spaces to the world of natural harmony and contemplation of beauty. The program has thought out everything - comfortable accommodation, logistics, full breakfast/lunch and dinner - only positive emotions, smiles and excitement. Thanks to guide Denis and driver Vladimir for their care and support. An unequivocal recommendation! Read more
Travel expert's answer: Marina, thank you for your kind words. As soon as I think of you, your smile is right in front of my eyes! I remember you always enjoying this wonderful world immensely! It's great that our region gave you the opportunity to be filled with vivid emotions! Well, it's great to know that I turned out to be your guide to Beauty. See you again! Read more
About the tour: The emotions from the trip are only positive. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Guide Sergey's hospitality is beyond praise. Eating is just a gourmet's dream. The accommodation is great, the locations changed every day. There are actually a billion photos. Horseback riding, kayaking, hiking (sometimes up and down the clay in the rain), canyons, golden eagles, of course, the beauty around you. Kyrgyzstan is very undervalued.
For me, vacation is not a vacation unless you're a little dead... so this tour is about that. Both extreme sports and inspiration from nature and people are real here. Definitely yes, I definitely recommend the tour. Don't hesitate, grab it and go.
