About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- LUMIN11100 contributionsGreat winter hike!Had a wonderful time hiking in the snow in February. Ala Archa is truly beautiful and is amazingly close to Bishkek - it only took about half an hour to get to the park from the city. Overall, it was great way to spend the day, and Boca was a fantastic guide. Highly recommended!Written October 31, 2024
- Celestial G0 contributionsVentura Tours is who you need in Central AsiaI am trip planner and I curated a Central Asia trip with 10 friends from September-October 2024. Central Asia is not well known to most people so I was fortunate to find Ventura Tours to help us navigate this part of the globe. They took care of us from Almaty, Kazakhstan to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Tashkent Uzbekistan as well as Samarkand and Bukhara. They made it easy for us and introduced as to a world that was new to us. The guides we had in each place were all very good specially Ameera in Samarkand who just got her Ph.D. She was exceptional. So too was Princess, our guide in Bukhara. Our guide in Almaty, Damir, was excellent. The special Kazakh dinner prepared by his mom Mrs Raushan was memorable. We saw how hospitable and friendly the Kazakhs are. Central Asia should be on one’s bucket list. Great destination and specially when you hook up with a tour operator to make it easy for you. Ventura Tours was my one-stop shop for Central Asia. We were in good hands with them. They were flexible, reasonable and very easy to work with. Talk to Ash or Nuriza. They will help you.Written October 27, 2024
- kimhY1361FC0 contributionsHighly recommend!!I had a really great time and highly recommend this day tour. The national park is beautiful, the walk is catered to your fitness level (we did ~10km over a few hours), and the pick up and drop off were seamless and comfortable. Abdi was an excellent and interesting guide, thank you so much!! Thank you as well to Rahim who was our driver.Written October 14, 2024
- tchalliwell0 contributionsGreat tour by AshWe had a great tour that Ash put together for us in Uzbekistan. The guides we had in Samarqand and Bukhara were really knowledgeable and brought the places to light. I would especially like to thank the guide in Bukhara, whose extremely wide knowledge of religion and history made not only what we saw make sense, but also explained many of the wider aspects of the history of the place. All aspects were very smooth, our driver was great and the hotels Ash Booked were of good quality. This follows in from a great trip made last year to Kyrgyzstan. Many thanks Ash.Written October 13, 2024
- yi l0 contributionsKyrgyzstan, we can’t wait to be back. 💜Ash, (the founder) was super responsive and clear in his communications prior to me even booking anything. Our guide, Bek is helpful, warm and easy to hang out - an important point given we basically spent all our awake hours together in 3 days. Our 4wd vehicle was comfortable given we had to navigate off road terrain and our driver Baha was a pro. Quiet but proficient behind the wheel. His driving is smooth and vehicle super comfy. Staying at Golden Yurt and Zaton guesthouse was a great way to experience the country and its people. Note that these are not standard hotels eg yurt has outdoor toilet. Bring a sense of adventure and you won’t regret it. Our guide Bek ordered all of meals and it was the best. Everything was tasty. Our favourite part was staying at Jeti Oguz in a yurt and the horse riding. There’s nothing like hearing the sound of the river to sleep and seeing a night sky filled with stars. The people we have encountered along the way were all warm and friendly and just left an indelible mark on our hearts.Written October 3, 2024
- Gorgeoussj_sooz0 contributionsDefinitely a hidden gem, Kyrgyzstan tour with Ventura🤗Travelled with begimai. Needless to talk about beautiful scenery of Kyrgyzstan, Begi made my tour full of energy with happiness:)Written September 19, 2024
- edinb5350 contributionsKyrgyz with BegiThanks to Begimai, my days in Kyrgyzstan was stunning. All the places I visited were excellent and the itinerary was quite flexible so that we could enjoy what we exactly wanted to. One day if I have another chance to visit Kyrgyzstan, I will definitely find Ventura again, and explore western side of Kyrgyzstan. Loved it so much!Written September 18, 2024
- TAMAN19510 contributionsTook the city tourExcellent guide that accomplished more than we could have hoped for. We saw so many sights we had to modify or plans the next day avoid overlap. Lots of walking but it was indeed worthwhile.Written September 9, 2024
- Ellie_Sharkey0 contributionsA must-do if you are in Kyrgyzstan for only a few daysBeautiful sites and an affable, well-informed team. Even the drive to the sites generated “write-home-about” views. I was operating on a tight timeframe, so I had only one day to tour the country; this was a perfect fit for me.Written August 29, 2024
- Jenn37770 contributionsDiscovered a hidden gem in Kyrgyzstan-thank you Ventura Tours!We had an amazing trip - As it was still “off season” in April some tourist places to stay/eat were closed but our guide and driver took excellent care of us and made everything work out. Also the people in the support office team were fantastic making sure we were comfortable. The scenery is out of this world - if you’ve always wondered about going to this country just go :) you won’t be disappointedWritten August 24, 2024
- _P1519CA0 contributionsAmazing trip in KyrgyzstanDefinitely that was amazing experience in my life ever :) Baile and Adi are so nice people and we had good communication. We went to hiking to beautiful mountain and went to waterf, so I enjoyed the stunning view. baiel helped me a lot even though I’m beginner of hiking. I really appreciated. Hotel pickup-drop off and lurch are included and the restaurant they took me is so good. I really like foods there. Highly I recommend this tour if you want to get great memory in Kyrgyzstan :)Written August 22, 2024
- Khaled G0 contributionsAmazing short tripHad a fantastic time on this trip and explored the beauty of Kyrgyzstan. Our guide Abi was great. Very Knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.

- 290suminj0 contributionsFriendly and considerate guide, well programmed tour, highly recommend!만 3세 아이가 있어서 커스텀 개별 투어로 진행하였는데 3박4일간의 일정동안 키르기스스탄의 정수를 느낄 수 있는 투어였습니다. 친절하고 열정적이며 사려깊은 가이드와 능숙한 운전실력을 가진 드라이버 덕분에 일정내내 편안하고 즐거운 여행이 되었습니다. 이식쿨 호수에서의 수영과 알틴아라샨에서의 멋진 풍경, 유르트에서의 캠프 파이어와 별이 빛나는 밤하늘 등 잊을 수 없는 멋진 순간들이 가득한 투어였습니다. 키르기스스탄에서 투어를 한다면 꼭 여기를 선택하세요. 강력추천합니다. Well programmed tour. Guide was friendly and enthusiastic, driver was skillful. The tour was full of unforgettable moments. Highly recommend this company!Written August 5, 2024
- Monique O0 contributions8 Day Tour of Beautiful Kyrgyzstan! BEST TRIP EVER!No regrets booking this tour with Ventura Tours! I went on a private 8-day tour with Boca as guide and Sasha as driver! Highlights of my trip: 1. The tour itinerary was very well planned out. Not too many long drives, but still got to see the must see of Kyrgyzstan! The views were absolutely breathtaking. I’ve never seen a more beautiful country. 2. The kindness and passion of Boca and Sasha were unparalleled! They really try their best to make the guests informed and at ease. :) Can’t wait to do more tours again with Ventura tours!Written August 2, 2024
- williamkotze0 contributionsAmazing nature & great tourWe recently visited Kyrgyzstan and it was an incredible experience! The views were absolutely stunning, from the majestic mountains to the pristine lakes. The tour was well-organized, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the trip even more enjoyable. Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country with so much to offer. We loved every moment and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend this tour agency for anyone looking to explore this hidden gem!Written July 30, 2024

From the beginning this was a great experience. The founder, Ash, contacted us with details for meeting our guide, Aimer. She was wonderful, spoke perfect English and was very informative. Bishkek is a fascinating place but small, and you can get a lot done in two hours on a tour. My favorite parts were the beautiful parks and the Osh Bazaar, where our guide even helped me purchase a jacket. The textiles were beautiful. After the tour, we were set up for things we wanted to do in the next few days.

The tour is really nice and is worth it. A good way to explore the main attractions in Bishkek.
I really enjoyed all the service provided by Ventura Tours (they answer very fast and they provide good solutions)
A special thanks to my tour guide, Boca. He is an amazing person, very polite, intelligent and with great energy. I really recomend this tour.

Ash was an excellent tour guide. I was in Bishkek for a very short time with a very tight schedule and he accommodated my last minute booking. He customized the tour to fit my interests (and jet lag/fatigue),
Ash was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions about Bishkek. I highly recommend this operator. I had a great time. If I'm ever in Bishkek again, I will certainly take one of their longer tour offerings.
Thanks!

This was a great walking tour, learned about the history of the country and the sights are near each other and if there's a little distance, the car can be taken to the next point. All in all it was not tiring (if you like walking and don't mind summer heat 31c°). Our guide even recommended coffee shops and restaurants which were good!

It was a real pleasure to find such a good company (with help of tripadvisor.com) and meet such an amazing guide!
It seems that Ashat knows all important things about Bishkek! He loves Bishkek and he knows all the ins and outs of the city. He is very friendly and helps to make good photos. Ashat knew exactly where to go and what places to visit during our tour but also he was listening very attentively what I wanted to see and he adjusted his plan perfectly.
I had numerous city tours in many other countries before and this is one of the best city tours I've ever had. Kyrgyzstan is a wonderful country. I enjoyed touring the city of Bishkek with Ashat and I am sure you will too.

I have booked many city tours around the world and the recent tour I took with Ventura Tours was one of the best. I had read up on Bishkek before arriving but still didn’t really know what to expect and my tour gave me exactly what I was hoping for: a window into the local culture, people, food, as well as stunning monuments and buildings. I think what made it so enjoyable and stand out from other tours I have taken in the past elsewhere was that although we visited all of the must see sights, as well as the bazaar, everything was explained and presented through the context of local culture and history as it applies to and affected the growth and development of the fascinating and underreported on Kyrgyzstani culture. I absolutely loved my experience with Ventura tours and will come back to use them to see more of the country. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent private tour with Boca who spoke excellent English. He was highly informative and we managed to fit in quite a lot in the 3 hours thanks to the fact that the car was always ready to go. We did the tour on our first day in Bishkek and it served as a very useful introduction to the city.
