Amazing experience - The communication with the company was seamless from before the trip. Mars gave us list of things to get and we were well prepared. We were 2 adults and two little kids and the whole itinerary was comfortable even with kids. We totally enjoyed every bit of it. We rode horses, slept in yurt camp, hiked on mountains, swam in the hot spring water and much more. Mars is an amazing guide who is very knowledgeable. He was kind to make tea parties for us by the rivers and introduced us to some Kyrgyz delicacies. Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country with breathtaking scenery. It should be on every traveller’s bucket list.

An unforgettable tour with the best, Mars and Azamat - WoW! What about this guided tour that allowed me to discover a beautiful country in the company of exceptional people who made me discover culture, food and the Kyrgyz language!!! I spent 4 unforgettable days that gave me the taste to return to Kyrgyzstan and discover other regions! I was lucky to have as Guide Mars and Trainee Guide Azamat who both welcomed me in their country!! I have been able to visit so many exceptional places thanks to them. The Kyrgyz landscapes make you dream: in the morning, it feels like Arizona with canyons and then, in the afternoon, it feels like in the Canadian mountains with all the pine trees, greenery and waterfalls! I tasted all kinds of food and Mars and Azamat taught me a lot about Kyrgyzstan and the locals. I keep my head full of memories and my phone full of photos. The tour of 4 days and 3 nights was enough to allow me to discover a little bit the country. As for the Award, it is reasonable considering all the places we visited, the food we tried and the exceptional accommodations I could sleep in!!! Really, the night in the yurt and the other night in a Kyrgyz valley surrounded by fields, these places marked me!!!

Perfect introduction to Kyrgystan - Great introduction to the country and its culture! The communication with the travel company was easy and fast and they were flexible in modifying the original tour as per our requests. Nothing seemed to be complicated and they know their country and itineraries perfectly. We really lucked out with our driver - guide Maksat, he was superb. Professional, speaks perfect English, knowledgable on so many topics and open for talk on any of them. In only a few days time thanks to him we learned so much about the country, its history and traditions, local food and contemporary life. Everything went as planned, accommodation was great, nature is stunning and Maksat was a wonderful ambassador of his country. It was a perfect vacation and I would warmly recommend it to everyone visiting the country.

Unforgettable glimpse of Kyrgyz countryside and culture! - It's amazing what you can squeeze into 4 days! Mountains, lakes, waterfalls, canyons, double ended rainbows, hot springs, horseback riding, Eagle handling and dancing with local village women celebrating their 50th birthdays! As a solo traveller booking things last minute the tour company put me in touch with another solo traveller which was great and reduced costs significantly. Our guide was great - friendly and knowledgeable and spoke perfect English whilst reciting jokes/stories over local speciality food he ordered for us. The accommodation for the nights out in the wild (2 of 3) were great and came with lovely views of the valleys. Thoroughly recommend this trip!

Awesome 4 day trip - We had a great time on our 4 day trip with Maks. He was so friendly, hospitable and full of knowledge of Kyrgyzstan. He also took us to some awesome restaurants - we didn't have a single bad meal. Maks was also very accomodating of what we wanted to see and tailored the itinerary so we could also fit in Ala Archa on our last day. Overall we had a great time exploring Issyk Kul and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Maks.

4 Nights in Kyrgyztan - We were a group of 6 with 2 Toddlers, Mars from Atlas took care of us from the time we landed at the airport and all the way back. Our tour started with a day in Bishkek, 2 days in Chon Kemin and 1 day in Chunkarchak. While every location had its own views and experience, Chon Kemin was the highlight of the tour, It took us to a world we have only seen in movies, Mountains, Valleys, Meadows, Horses Running Wild. The Lodge Mars booked for us had different views and both were extremely enjoyable, the fresh food served was superb! Mars arranged horse riding and Horse Kart sessions for us which were thoroughly delightful I truly recommend Mars for your trip to Kyrgyzstan! He is fluent in English, Clear in communication and Very hospitable!

Life Changing Experience - This trip was truly life changing! The sights we saw in these few days was absolutely indescribable and I keep recommending to all my friends to visit Kyrgyzstan. The tour was well organized, the drives were long but super comfortable in amazing car, and the accomodation was well located and clean. Mars is an amazing tour guide that became a friend by the end of the trip. He is knowledgeable, friendly, patient and knows all the best secret spots.

Beautiful - Mars is a professional and he is now someone we consider a friend! The yurt stay on Son Kul was an amazing experience. We rode horses in the most majestic setting I have ever experienced. Getting there was an adventure and the host family was so sweet,the children adorable. Unfortunately we had to cut our tour short , however it was a great three days experiencing the real Kyrgyzstan culture.
