fantastic - My mother and I went on a one-day trip to Issyk-Kul, and the trip was fantastic, meeting all our expectations. During the trip, we visited Burana, ate homemade bread, took a boat ride on Issyk-Kul Lake, bathed in a hot spring, saw petroglyphs on rocks, and visited Rucho Orto. Our driver was Azamat Kaldybaev, who was fantastic—educated, kind, and provided us with all the information about Kyrgyzstan. In the end, he gifted us Kyrgyz cognac, and we went with him to a traditional dinner. Azamat, thank you so much once again, and have a safe upcoming trip to the USA."

Excellent Tour with very Capable and Experienced GUIDE - I was very satisfied with the tour led by Mr. Ulan. I had seen what I wanted to see and took many photos. There were another 2 passengers in this tour. One lady from Dubai and a gentleman from Seoul. Mr. Ulan conducted himself very well and made us feel at ease and we mixed around well and shared our other travel adventures. Mr. Ulan knows his job well and I had a wonderful time. I am very sure the other two participants would also shared my experience. Thank you Mr. Ulan I will always remember this adventure.

10/10 highly recommended tour with Ulan. - This was such an incredible day trip, would highly recommend. Our guide Ulan was amazing, very knowledgeable and shared so much about the culture of Kyrgyzstan, as well as being incredibly informative about the sites we went to visit. He made the day very memorable and special! The lake is an absolute must see, the views were my highlight of the whole trip and the other attractions and restaurant choices were spectacular.

Great Day at Lake Issik Kul - I had a good day. I started in Bishkek, when Faruq, my guide, picked me up at my hotel. Then, we went to the Ancient Burana Tower, which is Amazing, a must see sight. Later, we moved closer to Issik Kul, the famous lake. We had a short but refreshing lunch, and then we finally reached Cholpon Alta, a small place by the shores of the Lake Issik Kul. There, I took a boat 🚢 for almost an hour. It was a nice boat tour around the Lake, with the Mighty Tian Shan Mountains in the background. Later, we went to a nice Spa, with natural and hot springwaters, very good for health and relaxation. Later, we briefly visited for a few minutes a couple of old and abandoned cemeteries on the road 🛣️ to Bishkek. Faruq took me back to my hotel 🏨. Very Good Experience. Datka is a reliable Travel 🧳 Agency and Faruq is a good guide, able to drive safely and speak good English. Very satisfied.

Issyk Kul, Burana Tower and hot springs - We can highly recommend Datka travel. One day we joined the trip to Burana tower, the beautiful lake Issyk Kul and the hot springs nearby Issyk Kyl. On the way to the lake we stopped for a traditional the ritual and on the way back for a traditional Kirgisk lunch. It was a very pleasant day with our guide Urmat.
