Islam

My partner and I did the 14 day Kazakhstan + kragyzstan tour with Islam. We had such a wonderful time!! Islam was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable and organised throughout the tour and also very fun to hang out with. I liked that we got to see quite a lot of stuff in a short amount of time and everyday we had something fun planned. The driver he choose was also great and always made sure the drive was comfortable for the days that involved a lot of driving, we always had water avalible and good music playing!

Our highlights was the 3 day hike up to Ala-Kul lake, I was a little bit scared coming down the mountain but Islam did a good job helping me down. Our porter and cook were also very nice and experienced, we felt like we were in very good hands! We also liked staying in the yurts which were very cosy! The guest houses and hotels that Islam choose were also very nice and comfortable with friendly hosts and overall the tour was excellent value for money, expecially considering we had a private tour and didn’t need to organise a thing. The restaurants and food that Islam choose were also good and we loved our picnics! The only negative part of the trip was that we didn’t have more time to spend there... So we will have to organise another trip to go back.

Islam wasn't able to make this tour but he arranged for us to have a driver who took us everywhere we wanted to go. Islam has been great at being in contact and the driver was great too. I would use Islam again if I went to Kyrgyzstan.

Traveling with Islam was so much fun! We would definitely recommend Islam as a tour guide. We went on a 3 day tour with him and he told us a lot of facts and showed us the real Kyrgyzstan. He is a reliable, flexible and fun tour guide. He really makes sure you have a great time! Me and my friends had the best time in Kyrgyzstan thanks to Islam.

Having just finished the tailor-made trip with Islam, we can only recommend him.warmly to other tourists. First of all, hus English is excellent which makes communication and travelling easy. Second, Islam not inky has extensive knowledge about his country, he also speaks openly and hinestly about Kyrgyzstan traditions and heritage as well as current developments - being with him and talking really made it possible to understand the country and its people. Third: he is a nice person and great fun to be with. If you spend a few days together that's just as important as getting a good prize or having all the sights explained I think. Fourth, he was always prepared to go the extra mile for us and made spontaneous changes according to our wishes it was raining for example.
