Nikita replied promptly whenever I had questions about the tour and provided me with a very detailed itinerary, which made the planning process smooth and reassuring. I was assigned to Ruslan for the tour, and he was a responsible and safe driver. He was also friendly and easy to talk to. We chatted throughout the long car rides to the attractions, which made the journey enjoyable and kept me from falling asleep! Overall, I had a great experience with both Nikita and Ruslan and would be happy to recommend their service.

I'm happy that he was flexible to allow me to build my own itinerary for 3 days. When we hike to Kolas Lake 2, he hikes with us, and shares nature-knowledge of edibles on the trail and details about Charyn Canyon. I was able to move at my own pace, too. I'm super thankful for providing a personal Wifi when needed. His vehicle was comfortable and a vigilant professional driver.

I was very happy with this experience and I recommend to other tourists. Good English, professional and knowledgeable guide. I did all the things on my list, plus some extra! Switched guides at the Kazakh Kyrgyz border and that was also great. Nikita and Erkin - thank you for being a great guide, English speaking and explaining my questions. I will recommend you in the future if I have some friends coming here! Ram
