Just finished Issyk-Kul trip and Bishkek city trip with this company. The views are gorgeous and the food is delicious and fruitful. Big thanks to Charlotte, Chris, Natania and Dorcas for the thoughtful hosipitality.
My husband and I joined this tour with a couple of friends , and we really had the most enjoyable time travelling around Issy-kul lake.New Way Service provided a very detailed and caring service to us all. The car we rode in was very comfortable and in spite the journey being pretty rough at times, my husband and I who sat at the back did not suffer at all.The food , accommodation and the narratives we had during this trip truly enhanced our experience of a wonderful , awe-inspiring appreciation of the marvellous landscape. We would certainly recommend anyone who wants to travel around Issy-Kul Lake to use the services provided by the New Way Service.
we can't forget the most beautiful sunset at the issyk kul lake, it is beyond our description by wordings. thanks for the passionate tour guide, I was so impressed by your professional and whole-hearted services, glad to have a reasonable price, definitely to come back and join the tour again in near future, missing Kyrgyzstan.
Embrace the mountains and horizons of Kyrgyzstan,refreshing by the frozen air, surrounded by those passionate children! Should try riding horse and traditional food over there !
A very relax and enjoyable trip, we can go to visit different travel spots and get to know more about the country more, in terms of culture, history, food etc. Our tour guide was very nice, she will introduce different kind of information to us and help us to translate so that we can communicate with local people. And the night time we stay at a hostel which is very warm because the owner will cook nice food for us and have a nice chat with us too. There are lots of different places to see, mountains, lake, vintage shop etc, lots to experience, great tour. Thanks~
This is the first time we went to Kyrgyzstan, it is luckily to find this round tour. The price is reasonable and they provided professional guideline for planing the trip. The issyk lake is very beautiful and clean. When we swam in the lake, we could also see the tianshan mountains around us! Also the tour guide is so caring! When we went hiking, it may be a bit of difficult to us, but our tour guide helped us a lot. Also he shared a lot about Kyrgyzstan that i can learn more about the culture here. It is a wonderful trip that I will come back again!
