Really enjoyed the tour! - Great tour with a great guide, Nuraly! He will take you personally to the Park, and while walking you'll be able to ask him anything about Kyrgyzstan. It was worth It! Recommended.

Five-star views with five-star service! - What a beautiful national park--a real jewel of Central Asia. My guide Nuraly was wonderful: great communication, kind, accommodating, very helpful. He was mindful of the limitations of some who were hiking with us, and he provided a good introduction to this national park so that I could return on my own subsequently. He also took photos and shared them with me later. Nuraly picked me up at my lodging and returned me there safely. Thank you, Nuraly!

Great experience - Ala archa NP is beautiful, and the hike to waterfall is slightly challenging. Once there and even en route the views are gorgeous.
But this review is specially for the guide Nuraly who runs this tour will himself take you there. He even took me to Song Kul and Issyk kul Lake. Logistics, transportations everything he will take care of and is very humble and fluent in. His tours cost are also slightly cheaper than other alternatives. Highly recommend him for foreign travelers.

A worthwhile jaunt to Ala Archa - I had the pleasure of taking a trip to Ala Archa NP in which we hiked up to the waterfall. The guide, Nuraly, was excellent, confirming everything the night before and answering all my questions before and during the hike. He picked up our small group of four from our respective hotels in his personal car, a rather new and comfortable SUV. The hike is challenging but we took needed breaks along the way. I do suggest that you wear hiking boots or shoes with good gear tread to avoid sliding on the way down in particular, and I found a very light long-sleeved sweatshirt was helpful up near the waterfall and when the sun went behind the clouds.
I also appreciated the stop for lunch at the trout fish restaurant. There were options for non-fish eaters and we had a chance to try local fresh cuisine. Nuraly shared a lot about his country and culture as he helped serve us. A great day and I highly recommend the tour!

Amazing tour and guide and stunning national park! - A fantastic day trip to the beautiful Ala Archa National Park. Our guide was amazing. Communication before pick up was great and he spoke brilliant English and was extremely knowledgeable. He kindly provided us with water and a snack. The transport and vehicle was of high quality. The park itself is breathtaking. To have this park under 1hr away from the city centre is a dream. Highly recommend this trip. Having a guide really helped as we saw many people without guides unsure of what to do and which way to go!
