          Fantastic experience; excellent guide
          Maksat is a fantastic guide! I really cannot recommend this tour enough. Really nice pace, incredibly views, plus Maksat is so kind and informative. The lunch at the end is not to be missed - I can't stop thinking about the grilled Trout. Please don't visit Kyrgyzstan without taking this tour :)

          Loved our day trip with Aziz!
          I do a great day trip to Ala-Archa national park with Aziz. This was a fantastic trip! Aziz was a really great guide - very knowledgeable and kind and set a good pace for us. I would highly recommend this company and Aziz! They were very easy to book with and coordinate with.

          This tour was great. Ala archa is a beautiful place to visit very close to Bishkek. It’s perfect for a day trip. My guide Aziz was unbelievable and did a terrific job to make sure I was having fun.

          Best of the Ala Archa in half a day
          Amazing tour with professional guide. Everything went smoothly and the views at the park we’re breath taking. The hike itself is quite moderate.I would highly recomend this tour and will definately be back for a longer tour.

          Amazing Kirghi trip!
          Unforgettable trip! Kyrgyzstan is a wonderful country! In August you can find snow-capped mountains, greenish valleys, lush forests, rivers and streams with pristine water, beautiful horse and yak pastures in the high mountains, amazing lakes at high altitudes. it is truly a wonderful sight for the eyes! But this is what you can easily find by doing a simple Google search! I would like to talk to you about Mars and Atlas kg. The friendliness and smile with he welcomed us at the airport made us feel immediately at home! The organization of the trip and the choice of accommodations were simply perfect!All accommodation, whether hotel, yurt camp or guesthouse were clean, in beautiful locations and with great food! The stops for tea along the way choesen by Mars near the rivers are a simple memory but one that I will always carry with me for peace and calm! Having mars with us was always a source of knowledge of the place, advice on trails, advice on what to do or not to do, advice on food(we immediately asked him not to eat strange things and so it was 😬). Before leaving, I thought that spending so many days always in contact with a guide would be heavy. Instead, the days passed too quickly and above all in a pleasant way! In the course of the journey, Mars has gone from guide to friend. A friend I hope to see again soon!!!

          Great day trip and thanks for all the fish
          Really great tour! Maks was a charismatic guide who cared a lot about the people in our group and did a good job adjusting it to the comfort and ability of each participant. At the end, we went to a trout barbecue place, and I cannot recommend enough that you do this optional extra. The fish was amazing

          We did the Ala Archa National Park tour with Mars, it was definitely one of the most unique experiences we had in Kyrgyzstan, Mars is the most helpful, kind & knowledgeable guides you can ask for, he did everything possible to make our day memorable. Thanks Mars and thanks Atlas! See you again!

          Solo-traveler Trekking in Ala Archa Nature Park WITH MAKS
          One cannot say that they visited Bishkek without trekking/hiking through the Ala Archa Nature Park WITH MAKS. The nature park, itself is picturesque and breathtaking. Definitely will leave you in awe from its natural beauty to its stunning landscape, this place is magical! Not to mention how GREAT guide MAKS is. He made the trek more fascinating by letting you see what life is in Kyrgyzstan in a lens of a local. It could topic related to philosophy, politics, religion etc. He's open-minded. It's worth to mention how he took us to a fish-farm-liked restaurant to have great lunch to conclude the tour. Saying that this tour is highly recommended doesn't give justice to what experience awaits you!

          Excellent Tour
          Spent a wonderful day visiting the Burana Tower and beautiful surrounding countryside with my guide, Ulan. He is a great guy and guide. I particularly enjoyed chatting with him to better understand Kyrgyzstan, and we also exchanged stories about our lives. In addition, I appreciated that Ulan showed up on time and that the operator, Atlas.kg Tours, was flexible in arranging this private tour. I was also grateful that Ulan came back to the hotel after the tour to drop off my jacket, which I had left in the car. All in all, it was a great day.

          Thank you for an amazing tour. My son and I enjoyed the trip very much. We would especially like to highlight the Konorchek Canyon as it was the highlight of our trip to Kyrgyzstan. We also had an outstanding tour guide who took us to eat at a local restaurant which was an amazing experience. Thank you Aziz!

          Amazing! Trip of a lifetime.
          This was truly the trip of a life time. Kyrgyzstan is a simply stunning country and Mars at Altas.kg showed us the best of it. Initially we had thought that maybe 10 days would be quite long but in reality it was not nearly long enough. There were so many highlights from this trip, from the beautiful, remote jyrgalan valley, to the red rocks of the fairytale canyons and thr high altitude beauty of Tash Rabat. Every accommodation we stayed in was incredible in it's own way, from hotels with stunning views, to guesthouses that allowed to explore the culture of Kyrgyzstan and (our favourite) the yurts! The nights star gazing, afternoons meandering away hiking, swimming in alpine lakes and the superb hospitality were not memories we will forget any time soon. The food was also superb and, although I expected it to be good, it exceeded my expectations. Mars was such a brilliant driver and guide throughout, informing us greatly, looking after us, adjusting plans to suit us and also he is great at securing a good deal/room for you too. We left feeling that he was a dear friend and we will be keeping in touch. If you're thinking about doing a good tour of Kyrgyzstan, first - do it! Secondly, do it with these guys. We're already planning to come back and revisit.

          Perfect getaway from Bishkek
          It was an amazing trekking trip to Ala Archa. The national park itself is amazingly beautiful and calming. The trip was made based on my capacity, so I really enjoyed the view and the nature there. The guide Maksat was so helpful and knowledgeable about the national park, he helped me feeding squirrel 😄 he said we might meet some local animals there, but unfortunately I just found squirrel, eagle and marmot's holes. This trip is perfect for anyone looking for nature activity close to Bishkek. I'd love to come back to Ala Archa to explore more with Atlas KG!

          Amazing Kyrgyzstan Trip
          The trip is so amazing that we can cover the main attractions of Kyrgyzstan in 2 days. The chosen yurt camp is also amazing, the view is incredible! I'd like to thank a lot to my guide, Maksat, who is so helpful and knowledgeable for all places and everything about Kyrgyzstan..you're doing great job! It is just perfect that I'll go back to Kyrgyzstan again with Atlas.kg of course!

          Spectacular day trip from Bishkek
          We did a half day trip today to Ala Arche Park booked through Get-Your-Guide. What an amazing day, the scenery is breathtaking (literally - being over 2000m altitude) with its clear, sparkling, gushing river, the impressive snow-capped mountains and green alpine-like pastures. It was a Saturday and there were many people in the carpark as this is also a place the locals like to visit in their free-time, but they tend to stay near the entrance. And so we left them behind and were more or less alone on our 3 hour trek up the gorge. It was about 20 degrees and we got away with leggings and t-shirt. Take plenty to drink and if you do want to hike be sure to wear hiking boots or trail running shoes as the path can get slippery with loose grit and stones. Our guide, Ulan, was amazing and talked to us about Kyrgistan, Bishkek, history, culture and social aspects. Can highly recommend this tour if you have a few days in Bishkek and want to get out of the city.

        The communication with the company
        was seamless from before the trip. Mars gave us list of things to get and we were well prepared. We were 2 adults and two little kids and the whole itinerary was comfortable even with kids. We totally enjoyed every bit of it. We rode horses, slept in yurt camp, hiked on mountains, swam in the hot spring water and much more. Mars is an amazing guide who is very knowledgeable. He was kind to make tea parties for us by the rivers and introduced us to some Kyrgyz delicacies. Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country with breathtaking scenery. It should be on every traveller’s bucket list.

        Went on a private tour with my family, 6 of us in 2 four-wheel drives. Mas and Tahir were friendly, helpful and organised, and ensured that our trip went smoothly without a hitch. The hotel and restaurant bookings were part of the package. We tried the local cuisine, including horse milk! Mas and Tahir also prepared wonderful picnic lunches for us to enjoy in the valleys.
        Some of the lodgings were tied to unforgettable experiences such as horse riding through the mountainous areas of Chon Kemin. Staying in yurts was an eye-opening experience for sure. We were also very fortunate to watch the Nomadic Games, which attracted many locals in beautiful traditional outfits. I am in awe of the untouched beauty Kyrgyzstan has to offer (Jety Oguz, Issyk Kul) and will definitely want to visit Kyrgyzstan with Atlas’ experienced tour guide Mas.

        Mars is a professional and he is now someone we consider a friend! The yurt stay on Son Kul was an amazing experience. We rode horses in the most majestic setting I have ever experienced. Getting there was an adventure and the host family was so sweet,the children adorable. Unfortunately we had to cut our tour short , however it was a great three days experiencing the real Kyrgyzstan culture.

        This was the best tour experience we had. Guide Mr. Mars provided the best services and took us to best places. Also suggested the good authentic local dishes. We were 2 ladies and alone but he made sure our safety and comfort. We were so happy and satisfied. They are the best Kyrgystan tour operator and highly recommended .

        This trip was truly life changing! The sights we saw in these few days was absolutely indescribable and I keep recommending to all my friends to visit Kyrgyzstan.
        The tour was well organized, the drives were long but super comfortable in amazing car, and the accomodation was well located and clean.
        Mars is an amazing tour guide that became a friend by the end of the trip. He is knowledgeable, friendly, patient and knows all the best secret spots.

        It's amazing what you can squeeze into 4 days! Mountains, lakes, waterfalls, canyons, double ended rainbows, hot springs, horseback riding, Eagle handling and dancing with local village women celebrating their 50th birthdays! As a solo traveller booking things last minute the tour company put me in touch with another solo traveller which was great and reduced costs significantly. Our guide was great - friendly and knowledgeable and spoke perfect English whilst reciting jokes/stories over local speciality food he ordered for us. The accommodation for the nights out in the wild (2 of 3) were great and came with lovely views of the valleys. Thoroughly recommend this trip!

        WoW! What about this guided tour that allowed me to discover a beautiful country in the company of exceptional people who made me discover culture, food and the Kyrgyz language!!! I spent 4 unforgettable days that gave me the taste to return to Kyrgyzstan and discover other regions!

        I was lucky to have as Guide Mars and Trainee Guide Azamat who both welcomed me in their country!! I have been able to visit so many exceptional places thanks to them. The Kyrgyz landscapes make you dream: in the morning, it feels like Arizona with canyons and then, in the afternoon, it feels like in the Canadian mountains with all the pine trees, greenery and waterfalls!

        I tasted all kinds of food and Mars and Azamat taught me a lot about Kyrgyzstan and the locals. I keep my head full of memories and my phone full of photos.

        The tour of 4 days and 3 nights was enough to allow me to discover a little bit the country. As for the Award, it is reasonable considering all the places we visited, the food we tried and the exceptional accommodations I could sleep in!!! Really, the night in the yurt and the other night in a Kyrgyz valley surrounded by fields, these places marked me!!!
