The 10 Best Tours in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

January 18, 2022 Toi Mattera

Just at the northern edge of the Ala Too mountain range lies Kyrgyzstan's lively northern capital, Bishkek. With numerous green spaces, parks and gardens alongside Soviet-era buildings and monuments, the city retains its former Soviet Asian flavor. The city is home to many monuments and cultural institutions, including the National Historical Museum and Ala Too Square, where the changing of the guard takes place daily. The Dordoy Bazaar provides ample shopping, especially for Chinese exports.

I had planned a trip to Bishkek and booked three day trips with Show Me Bishkek. Sadly I had to cancel my trip (due to a recent surgery) but their customer service (Diana) has been amazing. I am looking forward to rebooking with them as soon as I am able, as if their service on the ground is anywhere near as good as their customer service, it’s going to be one great trip!

I truly recommend SUV tour. Everything was well organized. The guide Chingiz was professional, friendly and flexible to our needs. Ww were not properly equipped for the long trekking and the guide proposed us an alternative itinerary which was amazing as well. We will come back to Almaty region to visit other beautiful places and we will use SUV tour again

• Visit the Burana Tower (about 80km from Bishkek), which marks the original site of the Karakhanid town, Balasagun. Located along the important branch of the Silk Road, Burana Tower is a UNESCO World heritage site. Surrounding the tower you can also find ruins of Balasagun. • The tower was originally 45m high, however over centuries, a number of earthquakes damaged the structure of the tower, and it now remains 25m high. • Continue driving to Issyk-Kul Lake, and visit a city of the north shore – Cholpon-Ata, where the World Nomad Games (also known as “Olympics for Nomads”)  are held. There you will find an open-air museum of petroglyphs, Issyk-Kul State Historical and Cultural Museum, as well as sandy beaches and springs. • The above package is only a reference, each group can specify its requirement.

Easy and highly supportive booking by mail. Nice driver/guide with very good knowledge of Bishkek. Extremely reliabe, always on time, or earlier. I used the company also for airport transfers . It was a good decision, as it was relatively cheap, and one could avoid all the bad airport hassle with taxi drivers.

Feel Nomad is a great, professional, well-run company with reliable cars and english speaking guides who love to hike and explore as much as you do. I did the Canyons trip, along with extra days at Karakol and Ala Archa and it was all great. They were flexible with the itinerary based on my interests and mood, had great local knowledge, were able to setup yurt stays and guesthouse stays which typically would be harder for non Russian speakers to arrange, easy to talk to during the long drives, and best of all they were great at all the intense hiking Overall highly recommended specially if you want a nature/hiking/adventure focused tour when in Kyrgyzstan

We went there 2 days (both booked previously , but the first one we arrived 5 min late so we thought maybe they had already started) and no sign of the guide. Next day we met 3 girls waiting as well and again no guide. Cancel this tour already please, you can check the reviews on freetour webpage, trip advisor, etc., The guide is not showing up anymore so dont waste time nor money getting there

First of all Kyrgyzstan is famous for Issyk-Kul lake. It is beautiful all year round. It is much better to see it than to see pictures an read articles about the Lake. This is a "must visit" place in our country. This is the most suitable tour for those who have little time, but want to see a "mountain pearl"

Inclusions: On the way to the Lake we will stop to have lunch. National puff cakes with soar cream and tea boiled in russian samovar with unique taste.

It was a very interesting tour. First, we drove to the Burana tower, visited the museum took good pictures. Our guide Aibek told us the history of the ancient tower. After that, we stopped at a local cafe for local treat kattama bread. Then we drove and walked till the Canyon. There where 4-5 stone barriers which we had to pass. Canyons were amazing. Even its winter day there was almost no snow. Reddish beautiful rocks surrounded the area. The 2,5 km walk was worth of seeing this beauty. Thank you Aibek for a great tour.
