I learned about Bishkek culture and foods - I learned more about Kyrgyzstan, and tried a larger sample of Kyrgyzstan foods, than I ever could have on my own. My guide Farukh was cheerful and worked hard to ensure that I had the best time. I cannot think of one thing I would change from this tour. It was everything a tasting tour should be.

Fantastic experience! - Great experience and good value for money. We’ve been to the Osh market and to three different restaurants/cafés and tried super tasty local dishes. Make sure to start the tour with an empty stomach! What I valued the most is that you could tell that the guide really likes to show you all these places with no rush and likes to genuinely share their city with you.
