We set off to Bishkek with friends for a wedding. We spent a long time choosing between a car and a bus, and in the end we took the transfer. The driver knows the road perfectly, and we rode comfortably. On the way we stopped at the pass, breathed fresh air, and took beautiful photos. The only downside was having to wait at the border for about forty minutes – there were a lot of cars. But overall the trip left a good impression. I recommend this option to everyone.

I really enjoyed the trip. The driver knows all the ins and outs of crossing the border. We traveled comfortably. Downside: it was a bit chilly in the car, but they gave us a blanket. Overall, I recommend this tour company.

In the summer we went to Bishkek with our family to visit relatives. We booked a transfer so we wouldn't be cramped in a minibus. The driver was polite and drove carefully, and told a couple of stories along the way. The car was clean and had air conditioning. The downside: on the way out of Almaty we got stuck in traffic, so we arrived an hour later. But that didn't spoil the impression. The stop at the mountains was a pleasant bonus. I recommend it.

My husband and I decided to go to Bishkek for the weekend; we didn't want to take the bus. We booked this transfer. The guide organized everything perfectly: he arrived on time and helped with the luggage. On the way he told interesting facts about the places we passed. I especially remember the stop at the Kyrgyz Range – the views are amazing. We crossed the border without problems. In Bishkek he took us right to the hotel. Thank you for the comfortable trip, we will definitely contact you again.

We went on a business trip with colleagues. We chose this transfer because we needed it fast and without transfers. Manager Zhanna explained everything over the phone. We left a little later than planned – delayed by half an hour due to paperwork, but the driver warned us in advance. On the way we passed a scenic mountain pass and stopped for a couple of minutes for photos. We crossed the border relatively quickly, in about twenty minutes. In Bishkek they dropped us right by the office. Overall I'm satisfied, I recommend it.

We were flying to Bishkek, but the flight was canceled, and we urgently looked for a transfer from Almaty. Friends recommended this company. My wife and I went together. The car was new, the air conditioning worked, and they gave us water on the road. The driver drove carefully and at the border told us which documents to prepare. Aliya was in touch and answered questions. We stopped at the pass and took photos against the backdrop of the mountains. We arrived in Bishkek even earlier than expected. Overall 10 out of 10.
