About the tour: Hot on the trail, before my emotions subsided, I can say for sure that it was mega heartfelt, fun, intense, amazing and sooooo tasty!
The locations are gorgeous, the moves are not tedious, the accommodation has exceeded all our expectations! I honestly thought it would be more modest.
We lived in a yurt in an apricot grove, in a yurt on the Issyk-Kul bank, in a house in an unusually beautiful gorge in the mountains, it was simply breathtaking!
Have you ever cried because of the beauty and the feeling of incredible happiness being here and now? It happened to me again))) Just a bunch of flasks!
The guys are some fans of what they do! Timofey was always in touch, asking us how we were, whether we liked everything,
and our guide Serega is just a 9 level care! Feeling like we've known each other for a hundred years is so easy, safe, fun and heartfelt with him!
What I didn't have enough time in this beauty! I wish I could spend a day in Issyk-Kul and a day in the mountains)
Timofey, you definitely need to expand and do such amazing tours in other countries!))) I'm sure that if you went with you once, everyone would come back for a new dose of these emotions!
All in all, I highly recommend the guys! They sure know how to make people happy! Read more

Expedition to the Sky Lakes: Son-Kul and Kel-Suu

About the tour: Отличный тур! Посмотрели столько природных красот, что впечатления переполняют. Я примерно представляла себе "небесные" озера, но реальность все равно превзошла ожидания. Это невероятно красиво. Темп довольно быстрый. Каждый день было новое жилье, разной степени комфортности, понравилось все, кроме юрты на Сон-Кёле, но там же очень здорово покатались на лошадях, поэтому негатива нет. Больше всего понравилось размещение на Иссык-Куле. Read more

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. Read more

Travel expert's answer: Thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad I liked it all! We still have a lot of cool places, Kyrgyzstan will be waiting))) Hello from Sasha!!

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. Read more

Travel expert's answer: Thank you for your detailed feedback, as well as for appreciating the work of our guide Elena, driver Alexander and the quality of the hotels and locations selected. I am glad that the level of care and comfort met your expectations. I would like to comment on the points that raised your questions: Meals in Bishkek. The description of our program clearly states on which days meals are included (during the suburban part of the route) and on which days they are paid separately. We deliberately left lunches and dinners on the first and final days in Bishkek for participants to choose from. This gives guests the freedom: after the flight or before departure, everyone can choose the cuisine and budget they like, rather than being tied to the general menu. We recommend proven and popular places in the city, but the choice of an establishment is always up to tourists. Tour dynamics and hiking. Our tour is designed as a busy journey that allows you to see the maximum of Kyrgyzstan's top locations in a week. The timing and pace can be adjusted by the guide on site, depending on weather conditions and the group's fitness. We are always in favor of flexibility and an individual approach: if you told Elena during your trip that you wanted to walk more and needed a longer track, she would be happy to adjust the timing for you and guide you along the right route. We always recommend that guests share their wishes right on the tour — our guides are always ready to meet you halfway. The cost of additional services. A charge on any additional activities (such as horse riding) is standard practice for package tours. It includes not just the “cost” of on-site services, but also comprehensive logistics, booking trusted and safe contractors, guide support and financial guarantees from the organizer. Of course, every tourist always has the right to organize their leisure time on their own. We are constantly working on improving the program and will be sure to take into account your comments to make the text descriptions even more transparent. Read more
