About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kimhY1361FC0 contributionsHighly recommend!!I had a really great time and highly recommend this day tour. The national park is beautiful, the walk is catered to your fitness level (we did ~10km over a few hours), and the pick up and drop off were seamless and comfortable. Abdi was an excellent and interesting guide, thank you so much!! Thank you as well to Rahim who was our driver.Written 14 October 2024
- tchalliwell0 contributionsGreat tour by AshWe had a great tour that Ash put together for us in Uzbekistan. The guides we had in Samarqand and Bukhara were really knowledgeable and brought the places to light. I would especially like to thank the guide in Bukhara, whose extremely wide knowledge of religion and history made not only what we saw make sense, but also explained many of the wider aspects of the history of the place. All aspects were very smooth, our driver was great and the hotels Ash Booked were of good quality. This follows in from a great trip made last year to Kyrgyzstan. Many thanks Ash.Written 13 October 2024
- yi l0 contributionsKyrgyzstan, we can’t wait to be back. 💜Ash, (the founder) was super responsive and clear in his communications prior to me even booking anything. Our guide, Bek is helpful, warm and easy to hang out - an important point given we basically spent all our awake hours together in 3 days. Our 4wd vehicle was comfortable given we had to navigate off road terrain and our driver Baha was a pro. Quiet but proficient behind the wheel. His driving is smooth and vehicle super comfy. Staying at Golden Yurt and Zaton guesthouse was a great way to experience the country and its people. Note that these are not standard hotels eg yurt has outdoor toilet. Bring a sense of adventure and you won’t regret it. Our guide Bek ordered all of meals and it was the best. Everything was tasty. Our favourite part was staying at Jeti Oguz in a yurt and the horse riding. There’s nothing like hearing the sound of the river to sleep and seeing a night sky filled with stars. The people we have encountered along the way were all warm and friendly and just left an indelible mark on our hearts.Written 3 October 2024

All the places I visited were excellent and the itinerary was quite flexible so that we could enjoy what we exactly wanted to. One day if I have another chance to visit Kyrgyzstan, I will definitely find Ventura again, and explore western side of Kyrgyzstan. Loved it so much!Written 18 September 2024

- Ellie_Sharkey0 contributionsA must-do if you are in Kyrgyzstan for only a few daysBeautiful sites and an affable, well-informed team. Even the drive to the sites generated “write-home-about” views. I was operating on a tight timeframe, so I had only one day to tour the country; this was a perfect fit for me.Written 29 August 2024

Also the people in the support office team were fantastic making sure we were comfortable. The scenery is out of this world - if you’ve always wondered about going to this country just go :) you won’t be disappointedWritten 24 August 2024

Highlights of my trip: 1. The tour itinerary was very well planned out. Not too many long drives, but still got to see the must see of Kyrgyzstan! The views were absolutely breathtaking. I’ve never seen a more beautiful country. 2. The kindness and passion of Boca and Sasha were unparalleled! They really try their best to make the guests informed and at ease. :) Can’t wait to do more tours again with Ventura tours!Written 2 August 2024

I had an amazing time on this trip with Ash and our driver. Ash was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He did his absolute best to make sure that I felt safe and taken care of the entire time. He provided me with a great overview of Burana tower. The guest house where we had lunch was very cute and scenic. The horse ride was incredible, and it was a beautiful trip into the forest. At the end of the tour, it felt more like hanging out with friends rather than simply taking a trek. I will definitely recommend this trip and this tour company to any of my friends and colleagues who visit Kyrgyzstan!

This was the second trip we booked with Ventura Tours as we were so impressed with our first experience with them. Once again, the communication with Ash via WhatsApp was excellent and we managed to book the trip only the evening before.
We were really pleased that our guide was Nuriza again. She taught us a lot about the history of the Burana Tower and was really fun to spend the day with. The horses were lovely and it was great to be accompanied up the paths by the dogs (including a very cute puppy) from the guesthouse. The views on the horse ride were beautiful and the lunch at Kemin guesthouse was delicious. We have already told our friends and family about Ventura Tours and would highly recommend this trip!

He had a beautiful day trip with our guide Nuriza. Our first stop was at the burana tower, where we learned about the ancient city of Balasagun.
But the highlight of the day of course was the trip to chon kemin valley.
It was our first time on a horse back, but everything went fine. The horses were very calm and nice and we had a great und fun time..
The picture of this tour is a bit misleading, because the tour lead us along a gravel road up to a panaroma point above the valley. We did not crossed any green meadows, but we crossed a few rivers and had a lot of fun with the horses.
Our guide Nuriza was a very nice and kind person. Her english was good (which is sometimes hard to find in kyrgystan) and she told us many interesting things about kyrgysian culture and tradition.

Dear guys! Thank you so much for your warm feedback! We are truly happy that you loved your experience with us! We’ll always be improving to make your tours even better!
As to the tour main picture: it was taken in the same valley in May month, so probably the grass in July-August was not as green as on the photo, but it’s definitely on the way to the panoramic spot 😊 Thanks again!

This was an add-on to our 3-day Issyk-Kul trip. I had a great day on the horses with my 10 year old. Ash took care of everything, the transfer went smoothly and the horse riding allowed us an amazing view over Chon Kemin valley. We enjoyed this day a lot. Ash and his driver supported us greatly. And since Ash speaks an excellent English we learned a lot about this beautiful country. Definitley reccomend Ventura Tours!

This was the best day we spent in Kyrgyzstan. We stopped by the historical site of Burana Tower and learned so much from our guide who understood the history of the site in detail. We then proceeded to a wonderful lunch at a scenic dining room followed by a leisurely horseback riding tour through some of the most breathtaking scenery on earth. I can't say enough abut how wonderful our guides were.

Ventura was recommended by a colleague at work who recently availed their tour service. I’m glad we followed the recommendation as Ash is an amazing guide. It was just me and my friend and was our first time to experience snow. He made sure we experience the best of the tours we booked at the same checking on us that we haven’t frozen to death yet 😂
Overall, it was a great experience and hope to come back during spring season.

a must do tour if you come to bischkek. in the first part we went to the burana tower, where you could learn a lot about the history. Then it went on to a nice family who prepared an incredible meal for us and we could strengthen ourselves for the best part. Riding a horse through this beautiful landscape was amazing. my guide ash knew a lot about history and was super friendly. He took a lot of great pictures for me and also shot great pictures and videos while riding, while you could enjoy the tour yourself.

I was in Bishkek, traveling solo, and wanted to visit some nature outside of the city and to see the Burana Tower. This was an excellent option. Ash (with a driver) picked me up and we drove the the Tower, walking around the area. From there we went for an excellent lunch and then horseback riding in a picturesque valley, up to the top of a small mountain. It was all great. Ash was very good company for the day. I enjoyed the company and learning more about Kyrgyzstan. Highly recommended.

Had a great time with Ash. Gave just the right amount of information without being overwhelmed. Was great with communication and never felt rushed.
The food was delicious and set us up well for the afternoon of horse riding and the drive back to Bishkek.
Would definitely use again for other tours in Kyrgyzstan. Thanks heaps!
