Denis
Everything turned out great! An excellent route in a comfortable car around Lake Issyk-Kul. With an excellent ethno-gastronomic point of view and a sense of attachment to local life. Bombastic views of nature in winter, the grandeur of the mountains and the philosophy of the calm of the lake, the brightness of colors and the bizarre shapes of the canyons ... all this contributes to a complete reboot and meditative perception of reality ...
Thoughtful organization of travel - do not worry about anything.
(huge respect to the organizers!)

Although we live in Kyrgyzstan, it turns out we haven't visited many places ourselves. And Aigul organized such a great vacation for us that we were very pleased, and the beauty we saw further enhanced our impressions! Another point is that we went with a small child and there were no difficulties, with this I want to note that the tour is suitable for all ages
Catherine
This night was a real adventure for us! The very idea of organizing a night tour in the canyons, timed to coincide with Halloween, and meeting the dawn on the IR immediately appealed to me, and its implementation met my expectations! I felt like a participant in an expedition exploring the night labyrinths of the canyons! The atmosphere is truly magical!
Nina
The trip program is very well composed, suitable for all ages, especially for family holidays with children. Accommodation is perfectly selected. There are comfortable hotels, yurts and glampings, which introduce the possibilities of recreation in the country. Stops and sightseeing of city and natural attractions are successfully combined with swimming in lakes and thermal springs. Delicious food throughout the route - complete immersion in Kyrgyz national cuisine.
