Talgat made it possible to reach Kong Sul Lake mid-May. We were one of the first tourists there this year and the pictures we took of this amazing scenery are breathtaking.

The most pleasant and memorable part of the trip was the guide, Mak. A perfect host with great English, insightful knowledge of Kyrgyzstan, it’s people and culture, was a great compliment to the sights of the journey encircling the lake. I am not a guided tour guy….but will never regret or forget this experience.

Despite the short time I had in Bishkek and the weather that changed dramatically, it was a great and wonderful experience. We had a visit to konorchek canyon although I could not finish to the end due to high-level of trekking level. On the next day we made a trip to Ala Archa national park but it was raining so badly. It's a nature thing but this might be a sign that I need to revisit Kyrgyzstan next time

I had an amazing day overall. They made sure I didn’t miss out on anything. Passionately showed me around everything. I didn’t feel boring at all throughout the trip. It was always something interesting. Definitely looking for their other trips to complete soon since they are very passionate about what they do.

Great day hike and lunch. Boca was amazing and gave us all the facts and info. He took us to a phenomenal lunch spot after. The hike had spectacular views of the valley and waterfall.

Great tour to enjoy some spectacular nature outside Bishkek. The Burana Tower shows some great history, the Kegeti Gorge in particular is a sight definitely worth seeing.

I can’t recommend Aibek and Visit Bishkek enough as this was definitely one of the best tours I have ever been to. He is a great guy, friendly, knowledgeable and very funny, we had a great day exploring the canyon which was so beautoful. I was a solo traveller and felt safe and comfortable all the time. Highly recommend, thank you so much Aibek.

It was a perfect sunny day with my guide Maksat and the beautiful landscapes of the park. Maksat has so many knowledge on his country and the nature around us and he is very kind and helpful. I highly recommend Maksat who is a wonderful guide.

I took part in the Tour called Heart of Kyrgystan in September 2022. I found our tour guides very professional (and both spoke very very good French !) and the driver was a good guy too. I especially liked the hotel in Chopton Ata, the valley Grigorieskoe was a good surprise. The Karakol ski resort was good too as well as Jeti Oguz. the Skazka canyon was GREAT. I LOVED Tash Rabat. Song Kul is nice (especially the horse riding) but I preferred the way down to Bishkek with great landscapes. Food is EXCELLENT with a mix of restaurants, yurts, guesthouses. I do not eat much meat so LOVED their soup (chorpo) and fish. Only bad points: I was not so fan of the Burana tower or the cascades near Issyk Kul.

This was a fabulous tour and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It was recommended to me by a friend because I never take tours as I am more of an independent kind of traveller but she said that the countryside of Kyrgystan can be difficult so my friend and I decided to take her up on her recommendation. Our guide Ash and our driver Alex picked us up in Bishkek from our hotel and were with us throughout our trip. We were astonished by the beauty and diversity of the nature in Kyrgystan and loved that they always took us to quiet and nice places! You definitely do not have to worry about seeing other tourists. They also knew how to balance being social with us but also giving us personal space which was much appreciated. My personal highlight was the horsebackriding as it has been years since my last time and seeing nature while horsebackriding is just another level of experience. The accomodations were very good as well. Ash speaks perfect English and gave lots of insights and was always ready to respond to my cultural questions. Alex was patiently trying to understand my basic Russian, which gave us laughter. Unfortunately, I got sick with the flu, but even that was handled great. Ash even got me medication and they adjusted the tour so I could manage. This is the bonus when you book a tour where things can be tailormade. We absolutely loved Kyrgystan, a hidden gem in Central Asia! No better way to explore than with Ash and Alex. Thank you!!

Awesome tour company! I did the Ala Archa Gorge tour with Sezim, and then a few weeks later did a tour to Kel Suu with Sezim and Jenya. Both times the trips were well planned, and the guides were very attentive, fun, helpful, and knowledgeable about everything we saw. I would definitely recommend a tour with CEA.
