One of the Best Travel Experience - This was an exceptional tour for us, if trip advisor permits, I would rate it with 10 stars :) Our guide, Baiel and our driver, Yujin picked us up from our hotel. They are extremely friendly, warm and helpful people, we completed all the sightseeing at leisure, without being rushed. At all times Baiel was with us, briefing us about the place, informing us what we would do next and at regular intervals making sure we all were comfortable. Almost always he helped us with ascent or descent and made sure we do not slip or fall. He also offered to take our videos with my gimbal and pictures with mydSLR. On the first day, they took us to an exceptionally good local restaurant, where we enjoyed delicios food and tea. We had frankly not expected this. We reached the Yurt Camp before sunset, it is located at a wonderful place just besides the beach of Issyk Kul Lake. We spent some good time at the beach until sunset. The traditional dinner at the camp was decent. After dinner, Baiel and Yujin set up a camp fire and we all enjoyed talking, understanding each others culture, way of life, cracking jokes etc...we also baked couple of potatoes in the campfire. It was an evening well spent. In the morning, there was only one issue at the camp, and I assume it would be the same with all other camps...The water was extremely cold and the flow of water was just a trickle. The camp has common rest rooms, fresh towels were not available for people who got up early and went to the rest rooms. Thus we skipped our bath and started off for the second day sight seeing after the breakfast. This actually was a non issue, we ignored it. Second day we did canyons, enjoyed eagle hunting process and tried our hand on traditional archery. Ventura Tours had arranged a beach picnic for us, it was a wonderful experience. Throughout our tour the owner of Ventura Tours; Ash, was in touch with me, making sure everything was going on smooth. We were just not happy but delighted with the way our entire tour was organised. The credit goes to Baiel and Yujin for gelling in like a family and making out trip a memorable one.

If I could give 10 stars I would! - This tour was such an amazing experience! We were picked up by our guide,Bek, and our driver, right on time. Between our great conversations during our drive, Bek delivered all the sights as promised. We also ate at a fabulous and traditional restaurant on day 1. The evening spent in the yurt was also an amazing experience full of surprises! Day 2 was equally as fascinating and fun. I recommend this tour as it fully delivered, it was fun and so interesting! And if you can get Bek as your guide then expect a 6 star tour instead of 5!
