Excellent guide and experience! - Azamat was a very friendly guide and told us a lot about the city and the history of the country. Everything went so smooth and we had such a great time. It’s a perfect way to explore the city if you have limited time.

Wonderful tour! - Great guide! So knowledgeable. 4 hours was just enough for us to learn key aspects of current and past events affecting the Kyrgyz way of life.

Relaxing Tour Around Bishkek - I visited a few places with Faruq, a guide who spoke good English. He was driving a car 🚗 also, so it was convenient. We were in Osh Bazaar, and I bought some great bread 🍞. Also, I bought a kalpak, a Kyrgyz Hat. Later, we saw a couple of museums, gardens and a few landmarks of Bishkek, including several squares and a mosque. We finished with a lunch and later Faruq took me to the hotel 🏨. Tomorrow I am going to Issik Kul Lake in a private tour with the same guide and the same travel 🧳 Agency, Data Travel 🧳.

Dordoi Bazaar, city tour and ice hockey rink - We made a very pleasant trip to Dordoi Bazaar where our guide Talgat showed us around and leaded us to the places with the stuff we were interested in. That was a great help, as the Bazaar is very big. Afterwards we drove around the city of Bishkek to see all the main attractions and take some photos. Al the way Talgat,in a very god way told us about the different attractions. At last, as an extra addition, we drove to Ledovogo Katka "Lokomotiv" ice rink to see the place and take some photos, as our hobby is to watch ice hockey in different counties .

Another Incredible Experience with Datka Travel! - This was actually my second time doing the private city tour with Datka Travel, and it was well worth it. I initially did this tour last summer. When I realised I would be coming back to Kyrgyzstan, I contacted them again and asked if we could do a similar tour with perhaps a bit more emphasis on the Soviet heritage of Bishkek. My guide Faruh was generous enough to take me to a few landmarks he normally would not include on the tour, just because he knew it would make me happy. His energy was pleasant, upbeat and he made me feel like I made a new friend at the end of the day. This is exactly what a private tour should do.

A wonderful personalized Bishkek city tour - Did Bishkek city tour on 18th Nov with Datka travels. The young owner Talgat himself came to give us this tour in his Toyota Prado. He took us to all interesting city sights including Osh bazaar, Parliament buiding, National museum, Victory park and Blu mosque among others. We even got to watch a change of guard, and a local wedding during the tour, which gives multiple nice photo ops.

Walking bishkek - Bishkek might not be a big city but there is still lots to discover. Lots of history about their past and how they’re changing into the present and future. Would definitely recommend Talgat to give you a tour around the city

Bishkek city tour - I personally enjoyed the Kyrgyz wedding hall, mosque, and guard of honor in Ala-Too square, as well as exploring the Osh Bazaar market in Bishkek. Overall, my experience with "Datka Travel" was beyond my expectations and I would rate them 11 out of 10.
