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!

Great way to spend your day in Bishkek especially if you have limited timeframe and energy to arrange everything yourself after a long night flight. Relaxed walking tour around the nice authentic Soviet city and gorgeous Ala-Archa mountains with full attention to your interests and wishes.

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

I contacted BEX via email and the responses were very quick which I really appreciated. I arranged for a driver to pick us up at the Korday Border in Kazakhstan to drop us off at our hotel in Almaty - DoubleTree Almaty. We paid 2600 som in cash. Initially they sent me the driver information with the name, phone number, car type and license plate. Then they changed the driver the day before. On the day we crossed the border from Kyrgyzstan, I could not find our driver so I emailed BEX and they changed the driver yet again and we had to wait 10 minutes for him to show up. We were told the original driver got sick. The car they used was an older Mercedes but it was quite comfortable. The drive took 3.5 hours because there was some road construction. When we walked out to Korday, there were actually ALOT of drivers asking if we wanted to go to Almaty. We even had someone say he would take us for 10000 tenge which is quite a bit less than what we actually paid. So if you don't mind negotiating a bit, you can get a car pretty easily. However, if you want peace of mind, I would recommend BEX. When I contacted other companies, it was actually quite a bit more.

I originally had reserved a different tour, but when my friend and I decided to choose a closer destination to Bishkek, it wasn’t a problem for them to arrange a personalized itinerary that fit our needs! We hiked the Kegety Gorge to Lake Koltor with our awesome guide Rahkat. We then stayed overnight at the base of the gorge, and returned to Bishkek in the morning after stopping at Burana tower. It was exactly what we were looking for in a tour. Rahkat was very informative, he is an economics major in university so he was well versed in some of the challenges facing the country. Would definitely do another trip with this company again! The hike was a fairly challenging endeavor. I would call myself moderately fit, I exercise on a regular basis, but the climb is difficult and the change in altitude is also challenging. I would only recommend this for people who are fit, and would like a strenuous hike, the views are totally worth it!

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.
