I Learned a Lot. I Saw So Much Beauty - For 3 days I was immersed in Kyrgyzstan culture, beauty, and foods. I was quite comfortably driven to an awesome selection of sites. My guide Baiel (in photo) and driver Rayum were fun and professional. They were focused on ensuring that all my needs were met and all my questions were answered. I could never have seen so much beauty, and learned so much, without their dedication and guidance.

Great company, highly recommend - We did the 3 day tour around Issyk-Kul with Ventura and had a brilliant trip. We were taken around by Abdi and Baha who were both excellent, really knowledgeable, passionate, professional and great fun. Great food and accommodation choices. We had regular contact with Ash during the booking process and in the run up to the trip, always super quick and helpful to answer any of our queries. This tour made our whole trip to Kyrgyzstan and we would highly recommend Ventura.

Nature, Fun, Safety, Value - I made a reservation directly with a local travel agency in Ventura and had a very enjoyable and safe trip for 3 days. Guide Bek and driver Chang responsibly conducted the trip for a couple in their 60s. Ventura is said to have 26 young, cheerful and knowledgeable guides and staff. There are better things to see and eat in Kyrgyzstan than in Kazastan. I highly recommend it.

Excellent 3-Day Tour Around Issyk Kul - It's an unforgettable experience of a 3-Day private tour abound Issyk Kul! Not only is there a chance to see a picturesque view of the Tianshan mountain, but we can also explore the native cultures, including eagle hunting and Dongan town life. We couldn't have accomplished such a vibrant and tight tour if we hadn't gotten help from our excellent guides, Ash and Bek. Ash and Bek are native Kyrgyz guys who have lived in the US. There's no wonder that they can communicate with people from different nations. They're humorous, friendly and professional( They are skilled at trekking, horse riding and driving, these skills are quite important in snow mountains). I have to say we feel like being with two friends on this 3-Day tour. The tour can cover all your imagination of Issyk Kul. Trekking and horseback riding in snow mountains and canyons, yacht cruising in the lake, visiting native villages and towns, camping. It's really suitable for the tourist who's eager to experience everything around Issyk Kul in several days.

100% Satisfied - The views were so amazing and surreal. The guide Boca and the driver were so kind and professional. Boca took a lot of my photos, so even though I went alone, I still had a lot of photos, which was nice. I especially recommend this tour to travelers who do not have much time like me. It was great to visit so many wonderful places around Issyk-kul in a short period of time. In particular, the southern part of Issyk-kul has incredible scenery. And one night in the Yurt was a special experience. I would recommend it to my friends if they go to Kyrgyzstan.

Excellent 2 day trip with Boka - Me and my mom took the 2 day trip with Ventura Tours. Guide was Boka - very good, explained everything stopped at markets whenever we needed to! I could not find anything wrong with the trip, maybe just the price 😅 We visited many canyons, made photo stops, Overnight at BelTam Yurt Camp was very special. Also the picnic on the wild beach, great experience! Tried delicious Kyrgyz food too! I would recommend Ventura Tours, communication was great too via WhatsApp! Thank you!

An intimate and exciting tour around Kyrgyzstan - I booked a two day tour with Ventura and it was truly the highlight of my trip in Kyrgyzstan! Our guides were so accommodating to the needs of me and my sister, and I could feel they really wanted to make sure that we had an incredible experience. We traveled to the Burana Tower, several canyons, and Issyk Kul. Several activities were also planned into our trip, such as archery, eagle hunting, and horseback riding. I additionally asked for horse back riding to be included in our trip, and was really grateful for the flexibility on this. If you're looking for an intimate travel experience around KG, I highly recommend Ventura Tours!

Perfect tour around the countryside of Kyrgystan! - 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!!

An action packed 3 days with amazing scenery! - I decided quite late that I would visit Kyrgyzstan and wanted a tour company to help me travel the country. A quick search on TripAdvisor directed me to Ventura Tours. I used the WhatsApp function to message Ash who got back to me instantly with some options. I chose the 3 day tour of Issyk Kul and had an amazing experience. The guide Boca and driver Sasha were so professional and looked after us a lot. We were a small group which was an added bonus. The guide and driver knew the area very well and took us to all of the best places. Even when the water was turned off in the guesthouse on the 2nd day, they found us a local hot springs to shower and freshen up. The area is so beautiful but also impossible to visit without a tour company and guide. With that being said, I would absolutely recommend Ash, Bica, Sasha and the team at Ventura Tours. Thank you guys once again!

An interesting journey with excellent guide and driver - Boca was a great guide. He was extremely helpful, friendly and very assiduous in carrying out his duties. Baha was an excellent driver. A very big thank you to these wonderful guys. The Burana Tower, Skazka Canyon, Kok Moinok Canyon and Jeti Ogurz Canyon were spectacular and we really enjoyed the eagle hunting experience. We also visited the outdoor museum of petroglyphs by the lake side, which was very interesting as you get to see scenes that were painted from 7 BC as well as balbals. The yurt stay and the horse riding to the waterfall were very enjoyable. The hotel stay however was just so-so because the amenities bottles in the bathroom were empty and there was no air conditioning which made the room stuffy. We opened up the window and tried to ensure the curtain didn’t obscure the window too much. However sunrise is 4:30am, so we woke up to a bird that was perched outside the window, tweeting. We travelled during May so I don’t know what Summer would be like. The places where Boca and Baha took us to eat were fantastic. They were all clean with a fabulous variety of food. Special mention should go to an excellent local cafe in Semenovka where food was made by the family with amazing freshly baked bread that was hot when we got it - even if you are full, you need to try the bread! It would have been a 5 star review however the tour is overpriced for what we paid and the dinner on day 3 was not offered, as is clearly stated in the itinerary.
