Burana and Issyk-kul are worth the drive - Was not expecting Burana Tower to be so fascinating, but it was! Our guide, Baiel was very knowledgeable and helpful. Driving to the lake was through beautiful scenery, and swimming in the lake is a must! Be prepared for a long day but the car was very comfortable and the driver was safe. Lunch was very tasty.

It is indeed breathtaking - Trust the title of being indeed an immensely and breathtaking trip. We went to Burana tower in the early morning which is wisely planned as there was a long line of queue trying to get up the tower when we about to leave. The boat ride allowed us to get a view of Tien shan mountains from the turquoise lake,issky kul lake. I regretted I didn't bring my swim suit and missed the once in a lifetime experience of swimming while looking at Tien shan mountain. I was worried the water would be too cold but apparently it's above 15C. Overall,the ride was very comfy. Driver Mr Ray is an experienced driver and the guide Mr Bek is a cheerful and helpful chap who speaks perfect English.

Memorable trip to Issyk Kul Lake - We had a fantastic experience with Ventura Travels on our-day trip to Burana Tower and Issyk Kul Lake. Ash, the owner, was responsive and helpful with my queries leading up to the booking. Baiel, our guide, was excellent - he had great energy, entertained us, and provided wonderful recommendations for local dishes. He was also a fantastic conversationalist, and I highly recommend requesting him as your guide. Ady, our driver, was patient and calm, and the car provided by Ventura Travels was very comfortable. Overall, it was a memorable excursion, and I highly recommend Ventura Travels to anyone visiting Kyrgyzstan.

Fantastic day spent - Everything was top-notch - the views were great, the food was awesome and the guide was very helpful throughout my whole trip. Definitely worth it!

Trip to Issyk Kul - Great views, delicious food, and excellent driver and guide. Guide was very knowledgeable and took great photos. An amazing Kyrgyzstan experience.

Fun and unforgettable trip - Bek was an amazing tour guide. The entire experience was seamless - Lake, boat trip, swim, hot springs. Highly recommended!

One highlight and memorable of my short trip - Everything was really well organized. From the pickup, the journey, the food, the experience as well as the guide. Really give me full experience. The tower, the lake was wonderfull, the story behind the tower, the stunning view of the lake from the boat was one highlight of the day. I wish i have more time to enjoy more trip with them.

Can’t Blink for a Second! 🤩 - Breathtaking views across changing landscapes. I couldn’t close my eyes during the 4 hour drive because the mountains were so beautiful. You’re paying for a luxury car ride, upscale lunch w/ traditional foods, entry to multiple experiences, and a fantastic host (Boca) whose youthful energy complements knowledge of generations of his country’s culture and history. Don’t forget to check the weather! Boca helped us get sunglasses, swimwear, and blankets to match the varied climate. Plenty of surprises in what you’ll see on the road :)

A beautiful day - Even in cold cloudy weather, this tour was so worth it. I saw so much beauty - pristine waters, rugged canyons, snowy peaks. Also learned a lot about beautiful Kyrgyz culture. My tour guide, Bek, was phenomenal, and his intern, Baiel, was delightful. Highly recommend this experience.

Excellent - I had a wonderful time with Bek as my tour guide in Bishkek. He was more than just a tour guide, he was a friend!. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He showed me the best of the Bishkek city and traditional villages. He also gave me tips on where to eat, shop, and explore. He was always attentive to my needs and preferences and made sure I was comfortable and safe. He was also very flexible and accommodating and adjusted the itinerary according to the weather. He made the tour fun and engaging, with stories and jokes along the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have an amazing experience in Bishkek. Thank you, Bek, for making my trip unforgettable!
