Best Horseback Tour!!!! - This was the most amazing horse tour I have ever done. Talgat took us to Burana Tower, and he explained the ancient history in a fun way. We stopped and ate local food. After, we went horseback riding through the mountains and made my group feel very safe and confident. We ended this with a beautiful home cooked meal. I will definitely go back and book this again!

Very pleasant tour, highly recommended - Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and experience. Talgat was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I've gained more knowledge on Kyrgyzstan culture and people. The trips to Burana Tower and mountain for horse riding were pleasant and smooth. We had a few stops along the way for snacks and photo opportunities of the landscape. The horse riding was fun despite probably me coming at the not-so-ideal time in early March as the hills were still snowy/icy/muddy. The horseman was also friendly. The horses behaved well. On the other side, I had the Burana Tower all to myself (and the guide), as this was the low season for tourists. All in all, very happy with the tour.

2nd tour with Datka Travel - 5 points out of 5 points, 100 points out of 100 points. It was a perfect tour. It was my first time experience riding a horse and it was amazing. Before riding a horse my guide instracted me and gave some tips. It total we did 3-4 hours of horse riding and I enjoyed every part of it. The nature of Chon Kemin Nationl Park is so fresh and good! Recommend to everyone who want to do horseback riding in Kyrgyzstan!

If you are lucky enough to meet Talgat Bokeshov of Datka Travel and go horseback riding, you will love it - The experience of rising horses across a small portion of the Tien Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan far exceeded my expectations. The majestic beauty of these peaks, draped in the spectacular robes of autumn in patterns of both coniferous and deciduous trees was like galloping through a dream. The best part, however, was the company and companionship of Talgat Bokeshov of Datkq Travel. He is super knowledgeable, courteous and really great company. He picked me up at my hotel in Bishkek and right away I enjoyed his company as he told me numerous interesting stories about Kyrgyz history, politics, culture and cuisine. When it was time for us to part ways, I decided to extend the experience by hiring him to take me on an exploratory journey across the country — but I will save that story for a separate review. I highly recommend Datka. If you are lucky enough to meet Talgat of Datka Travel, ask him to tell you about both Queen Datka, and about the poor princess who was locked in Burana Tower.

Great Guide, Enchanting Horse Ride, Impressive History, Archaeological Artefacts, and Stunning Scenery! - We had such an amazing tour of Burana Tower and a stunning horse ride through the Chong Kemin Valley with Datkq Travel! Tolgat is a fantastic tour guide who speaks English really well. He is very personable, friendly, and willing to answer questions and offer cultural guidance and local wisdom. He also interpreted into Kyrgyz when the locals didn't speak Russian or English and helped negotiate good pricing with vendors. My partner and I had a wonderful time and learned so much. It was also really fun and relaxing in the beautiful Chong Kemin Valley -- seriously out of a fantasy movie or something! I highly recommend using Datka Travel during your trip to Kyrgyzstan for a truly quality trip.
