Nick – Kyrgyz Republic

Our guide, Halit, was so fun. They did a great job keeping everyone cool, jumping off rocks, swimming, etc. lunch was also great and we left very full. The only problem hung wrong was the driver from our hotel was on his phone constantly and driving dangerously. I was worried at some points. On top of that, the van was very hot.

Timothy – United Kingdom

booked rafting, buggy and zip line. started with Buggy rides which was fun, can get quite muddy. 17 yo was able to ride with 16yo and I had my own kart. lasted about an hour. rafting was the best activity. Sino, our guide, had lots of energy making the experience better. we were with 5 others, so 8 total, and Sino read the boats vibe well. lots of chances to jump into the clear water. lunch was nice, and zip line not the most intense, but ok. can end up spending quite a bit during the day, so eye protectors and masks for the buggy, and water shoes, photos etc. then you have drinks and snacks during the rafting which lasted a good few hours. we bought quite a few drinks, but didn't mind as we thought the guide would get some good commission for it as he deserved it. All in all, a great day and recommended.
