Tosor Pass trip:
Maksat was a knowledge, flexible, and capable tour guide. I asked him a mere few days ahead of time if he was available and he set up the tour with rental cars for a very reasonable cost. He knew the route and did more research to make sure it was accessible. Tosor Pass is no joke and he knew the types of vehicles and equipment we would need to make a safe passage. He brought everything we would need including tow straps, extra gas canisters, and a satellite phone. He had a backup route in case we were unable to make the passage. Along the way, he highlighted great little local tour stops that are not in the guide books and were interesting and very affordable. I would not hesitate to recommend Maksat again.

I mean forget the culture n politics...your videos and your photography is an education in itself...it shows how big the world is and how small man and his problems are when you see that lake or the steppe. U are amazing (and seriously underrated).I hope you do well man

my wife and i went to Kazahkstan with Maks tours, it was great experience. Tour was organised very well. It was long drive from Bishkek but we did not feel any distance, because we had fun, interesting stories and laugh due to Maks! we highly recommend Maks tours to anyone who travels to Central Asia! He knows what he is doing!
We are planning to another trip to Tashkent, and ofcourse with Maks!
Thanks

For our ethnographic expedition, we chose the MAKS Tour agency of Maksat Konushaliev and his young team. We must say that it was the best choice.
Many thanks also to our guide Eldiyar Niyazov for the great program compiled according to our requirements and the professional organization of our expedition. We drove about 3000 km, everything went according to the plan, there was no delay or a situation where something would not work. Eldiyar was a very nice and pleasant companion, a capable organizer and a great driver. Every day was a great experience for us, and it was also fun. If you haven't been to Kyrgyzstan yet, go, it's a beautiful country with a diverse landscape and nice people. In short, it was fantastic! If we go to Kyrgyzstan again, then definitely with MAKS Tour again!

Hi everyone! My name is Justin and I have been in Central Asia for a month and plan on staying for at least another two. Maks was pivotal in my decision to explore the region further than I have. Maks and I met through a mutual friend and his expertise on the local culture as well as greater knowledge of the geography on not just his native Kyrgyzstan but of all the neighboring 'stans is incredible.
He has been covered thousands of km traveling both for business and on his own. I remember him showing me all the places he had traveled in the region and there was more ground covered than not.
I highly recommend his services. He's also a great guy all around to hang out with. Also, if you're looking for a guide who is adventurous and who has the fortitude to take you where other guides won't call Maks. He'll get you there and back safely.

We spent more than two weeks on a field trip with MAKS Tour. And it was a great experience! Maksat is an excellent driver and organizer. He has no problem with adjusting our expedition according to our requirements and always offers more options. He also knows many interesting facts about life in Kyrgyzstan. In addition, we also received a lot of beautiful photos and videos from him.

Maks is very helpful and friendly. He speaks good english, which is going to be very helpful in Kyrgyzstan where language is a barrier for the tourists. He is one of the most experienced in that region. He has good cars, excellent accessories to ensure that you will enjoy your adventures to the max!

Alexey is really friendly, knowledgeable and we had great laughs on a trip from Bishkek to Bokonbayevo via Burana Tower.
Alexey kindly brought me along to an off road meet up where I got to ride in a UAZ truck. He also took lots of drone footage as well as gopro footage on a trip to SSK Vystrel shooting range.
He also taught me some hilarious Russian phrases. Best experience in Central Asia that I've had. Would highly recommend!

Maks was one of the best tour organizers/operators I have had the pleasure of working with here in Kyrgyzstan. Not only is he exceptionally multilingual but he is also sensitive to the cultural diversity of the guests he services. His service was not just educational it was entertaining as well.
