    Breathtaking trip
    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.

    Exceeded all my expectations
    I only know few things about Kyrgyzstan but Mars really helped us understand many things about his beautiful country. He took us to some of the most breathtaking places in Kyrgyzstan, experience the local life and enjoy every second of it. His hospitality is top notch! Thank you Mars for not just letting us experience the beauty of your country but also for building a good friendship. If you like surprises then this tour is perfect for you! Indeed, the best travel so far. Рахмат!!

    An Exciting Kyrgyz Excursion
    Our guide Talgat communicated with us immediately upon booking. He answered numerous questions we had prior to arriving which was very helpful. He organized our day to include special events such as the national game of Kok Buru which was an exciting cultural experience. He split the city tour into two parts, one after picking us up and at the end of the day. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of great stories with us. The trip to Ala Archa National Park was a nice experience. We had wonderful weather to enjoy the fresh mountain air and feed the birds off our hands. Everything was included so there were no surprises. Lunch was at a famous Kyrgyz restaurant. You can't go wrong booking a tour with Talgat as your guide.

    Full day trip went very well
    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.

    Wonderful short visit to Kyrgyzstan
    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

    Amazing day hike from Bishkek
    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.

    Five stars, fantastic tour, highly recommend!
    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.

    Great tour to Ala-Archa
    I can really recommend the Ala Archa hiking tour with Feel Nomad. After a 30-40 minute drive you are in the mountains. The tour begins with slight climbs, and you quickly get a very nice view of the mountain landscape and the valley. Impressively beautiful. The path is technically easy and safe, you only need a bit of skill when crossing the streams. Our guide Maxim knows the paths and area well and was able to tell us a lot about Ala-Archa, Bishkek and Kyrgyzstan. On the way back we had made a detour to the Memorial Ata Beyit. A place to remember. Thanks to Maxim for the very nice and interesting hiking day.

    Unspoilt gems of Kazakhstan / Kyrgyzstan
    An exceptional trip with the comfort of a secure driver, a knowledgeable guide, in a perfect 4x4 car. The scenery will blow your mind. This trip is not about luxury hotels or pampered motorways, it is rugged and all the more real. I cannot recommend SUV Tours enough. Kirill was no fuss, sent me all details beforehand and had Ramil waiting at the airport. Within two hours of arrival I was plunged 3500 years back watching iron age carvings in the mountains. The lakes, the mountains, the canyons, the forests, the iced waterfalls, the yurts, the local life, all true gems

    GREAT TOUR for francophones
    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.
