          fantastic
          My mother and I went on a one-day trip to Issyk-Kul, and the trip was fantastic, meeting all our expectations. During the trip, we visited Burana, ate homemade bread, took a boat ride on Issyk-Kul Lake, bathed in a hot spring, saw petroglyphs on rocks, and visited Rucho Orto. Our driver was Azamat Kaldybaev, who was fantastic—educated, kind, and provided us with all the information about Kyrgyzstan. In the end, he gifted us Kyrgyz cognac, and we went with him to a traditional dinner. Azamat, thank you so much once again, and have a safe upcoming trip to the USA."

          Very good trip in Kyrgyzstan
          Nice trip. The arrangement is good. Quick response to my queries. My guide, Asa is very good, telling me a lot about the country and arranged the trip well. May needa consider adjusting the itinery if needa catch a early flight on the last day.

          A must do in Bishkek
          This is a must do when in Bishkek. A beautiful way to the see the main sites of Bishkek, whilst also getting out to rue mountainous region. Faruk picked us up at our hotel at 8:30am and he is so lovely and he went above and beyond for us and offered so many additional stops and we were so impressed with his knowledge. The car was so comfortable, the hike was great and Faruk changed the lunch plans to cater for vegetarian food for us both. I honestly couldn’t recommend this day trip highly enough! Don’t think twice about booking this - just do it! You won’t regret it.

          Excellent guide in Kyrgyzstan
          Anvar was a great guide. He speaks very good English and was proud to share his country with us. He easily explained the history and society of Kyrgyzstan. He was also a safe driver and made an effort to show us everything that we wanted to see. In addition to his concern for our enjoyment, he also chose an excellent restaurant for lunch. I highly recommend Anvar and this tour when exploring Bishkek and the surrounding area.

          Superb from start to finish. Highly communicative before, despite my constant reconfirming! Exactly as advertised. And offered group or individual as per my preference. The hike is unbelievable. Really made the whole Kyrgyzstan experience smooth.

          Highly recommended!
          It was a wonderful and memorable 4 days private tour with Datka Travel. Communicating with Mr. Talgat about the itinerary was easy through whtsapp. From airport transfers to day tours to National Park, Bishkek city, Burana Tower, canyons and Issyk kul lake and arranging a stay in Chon Kemin..everything was well taken care of. Special mention to our guide Mr. Andrew. He was very friendly and punctual. He took special care for all our dietary restrictions too. Showed us beautiful locations. He took us to many local cafes/restaurants where the food was very delicious. Pickup/drops for all day tours were on time. The vehicle was clean. Kyrgyzstan no doubt is a very scenic and beautiful country with very friendly people. Overall, it was a very memorable trip. We highly recommend Datka travel services for Kyrgyzstan.

          Beautiful hike with great tour company
          The trail to waterfall is quite steep but nothing too extreme. Very nice view of the valley with beautiful mountains around. The waterfall was very beautiful already with some snow and ice in places. Our tour guide was very friendly, polite, and interesting to talk about Kyrgyzstan's people, country. We had very enjoyable time hiking in beautiful environment with very nice guide. Highly recommend this company.

          Will definitely remember this beautiful experience or Kyrgyzstan!
          I recommend Datka Travel so much! I liaised very easily with Talgat from Datka Travel via WhatsApp, and he customised this tour to include Konorchek Canyons as we wanted to see more nature in the tour. We greatly appreciate! On the day of the tour, our guide Faruk met us promptly at our hotel and I wish to commend his really excellent service from start to end. He shared with us rich information about life in Kyrgyzstan and we learnt so much! That was nothing compared to the support he rendered to us during our hike to Konorchek Canyons. It was an hour hike (one-way) and the hike involved challenging obstacles enroute, which Faruk was able to guide us expertly on how to pass through. He even physically pulled us up at some points. Very grateful for taking care of us so well. The tour itself is beautiful and well-organised, and the sights that we saw at Konorchek Canyon and horseriding at Chon Kemin really showed us the natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan, which we wanted to see. Lunch at a traditional Kyrgzs guesthouse with very hospitable hosts really added a local touch to the whole experience. Thank you so much Talgat and Faruk and Datka Travel for this tour experience that I will surely remember!

          Enjoyable excursions
          I took 2 tours with Datka Travel, the 4 hour Bishkek food tour and the Burana Tower/Konorchek Canyon tour. Both are highly recomended. The guides, Talgat and Faruk, are very knowledgeable, friendly and commited. For me it was a great experience in both cases.

          Our guide Andrey was perfect for us. Since we had already seen a number of spots on the original plan he was able to quickly modify or tour to show us things we missed. Very polite and knowledgeable. We had some great good and a great experience. We highly recommend this organization.

          If you're looking for a day away from the busy city of Bishkek, this is a great tour. Our tour guide, Begy, was wonderful, very accommodating, and took great care of us. I highly recommend.

          Brilliant day trip from Bishkek
          Brilliantly organised trip, I’m so glad I went with datka travel. Our guide was really knowledgeable and catered to our needs really well. Joined up with another couple for this tour and they had mixed dietaries which were well looked after. Went first to Burana tower then drove on to the horse riding. Driving was really safe and the tour was brilliant. Stunning views, horses were in really good condition and well looked after, and it was a really lovely way to enjoy the scenery.

          Amazing tour
          Everything about this tour was fantastic. My tour guide Anvar was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. The hike to the waterfall in the morning was beautiful. We had time in the afternoon to drop by several interesting spots in the city. I learned so much about Kyrgyzstan culture, history, and people. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

        What an experience! From sleeping in a traditional Yurt to watching eagle hunting in the beautiful mountains around Issyk Kul this was truly one of the best trips I have ever had. The people along with me and Talgat (guide) were wonderful and knowledgeable, he told me all about the history of the region as well as some really funny stories. I can't recommend this tour enough. The eagle hunting show was one of the most interesting and thrilling parts of this experience. The eagle hunters learn their craft as it is passed down from generation to generation and often find their own eagles out in the wild when they are young and live and train them for around 20 years, after which they let them go to enjoy their own freedom in the beautiful landscape of Issyk Kul.

        We had fun in this 3 day tour with Datka Travel as it turned out to be more of a personalized tour rather than a rigid itinerary. Talgat was so flexible with our itinerary adapting to weather changes and the changes turned out better for us. He took us to places that served traditional home style cooked food that was delicious and sleeping in a traditional yurt made the whole experience complete. We highly recommend going with Talgat of Datka Travel. Thank you, Talgat

        We recently spent 6 days in Kyrgyzstan and this tour was without doubt the highlight of the visit. There is something for everyone in this itinerary, with cultural experiences, incredible mountain scenery and some optional physical activities. Talgat is a professional and accommodating guide who was happy to adjust parts of the tour package to suit our interests. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyrgyzstan!

        Talgat, the owner, took us on this amazing trip. It was such a wonderful and breathtaking experience. Talgat knows the small secrets around the lake and managed to get us to the major sites, gorges and horseback riding etc. before other tour groups. Everything was perfect from start to finish and Talgat cared to our needs and answered our many questions. He is simply a nice and knowledgeable person who is pleasant to be around.

        Everything was as advertised. The accommodations and food were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the activities that were planned for us, and would recommend the tour to our friends. The car was clean and very well maintained, the tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. However, he did drive faster than what most Westerners would be comfortable with.

        We had an amazing time in Kyrgystan and we are so glad we chose Datka travel. Talgat was highly flexible and collaborative in shaping our itinerary and our fantastic guide Urmat was great company and made the trip truly memorable, also catering to our dietary requirements and introducing us to the amazing landscape, food, and culture of Issyk Kul. Everything exceeded expectations but highlights were the eagle show and horse riding - we’d love to come back to the yurt camp one day :)

        Communication with Talagat before the trip was excellent, answered all my questions and concerns.
        we did the one day tour in Bishkek and the three days around the lake .

        Unfortunately the tour around Bishkek didn't meet our expectation and we did inform them . the three days tour with Urmat was excellent and honestly is a must.
        the places, food and accommodation all are excellent.
        they made it up for the first day of the trip by taking us on the last day for a trip .

        overall I highly recommend them and suggest to book with them
