Free walking tours in Bischkek

I recently joined the Bishkek Free Walking Tour and had an incredible experience with our guide, Saele. ​What made the tour special was Saele’s approach—it felt less like a rigid lecture and more like talking to a friend who truly loves their city. At the same time, she remained completely professional and highly informative, sharing deep insights into Kyrgyz history and culture that you won't find in a guidebook. ​She really went the extra mile for us, especially when she guided us through the National Museum, helping us navigate the exhibits with ease. To top it all off, she took me to a local restaurant specifically so I could try authentic Beshbarmak, which was the perfect end to the day. ​If you're in Bishkek, definitely look for Saele!

Azizbek couldn’t show up. Saule was our guru instead. She was a nice young lady. Her English was good. It was a nice tour. Thank you!

Very interesting tour, with historical and cultural insights:) thank you Meder for this lovely tour :)

We had our tour with Azizbek, he is from Kyrgyzstan, but he is also a world citizen 😊 We walked around some landmarks in the capital’s center. The tour felt more like a conversation and exchange of knowledge rather than just me following someone spitting out facts. We really enjoyed to get to know more about Kyrgz history and culture with Azizbek! He also made a great recommendation for lunch and other activities!

Azizbek was friendly and very knowledgeable. It was a very interesting tour, which covered pretty much everything that I wanted to see. I would recommend this to anyone who visits Bishkek!

My daughter and I had a great tour with Meder. He was very informative and interesting as well as giving his own perspective on the political, religious and cultural changes within the country. He gave us a fine tour of the main buildings, statues and sights of the city.

Wonderful tour! Azizbek was very knowledgeable about everything and super friendly. Highly recommend this tour!

Aziz was very knowledgable, spoke English well and was very correct.

Great tour. He was very well educated on the city, spoke very good English and took us to tea. Was an amazing evening learning about the culture and history of Bishkek!

We were only two people and he was a good tour guide. He is well educated, full of knowledge about the history of the country and he was treating us so well. Welcome with the traditional tea. It was wonderful. I would recommend him again. Thank you

It was a great tour and we learned a lot about Bischkek. Highly recommend :)

Meder was a fascinating guide who taught us a lot about the nomadic culture of the Kyrgyz people and how it impacts life still today. We had great conversations being the only two on the tour and took the opportunity to ask many questions. Meder was helpful and is excited to grow his tour business and we’d recommend others to join him on his tours!

It was very interesting and wonderful, I learned a lot about the history of this people. The guide is very experienced and professional.

Super knowledgeable and great guy. Was a thoroughly enjoyable tour

I really enjoyed my walk with Azizbek. He's knowledgeable and interesting and took many pictures of me upon request.

We were lucky to learn from a local expert Aziz, he was wonderful in terms of sharing the information, sharing the background of multiple monuments and places with relevance. It was a long a tour but worth every steps. Thanks Aziz for sharing such local insights.

Amazing tour and really informative! Would recomment to everyone :)

Muy profesional y buena onda! Gran tour

It was nice experience walking with Meder. He walks to the places and provides valuable information about the places. He speaks good English. At the end of the trip, he took us to a local but good restaurant where we enjoyed local food. It was a good tour. Our guide Meder is a professional.

Meder is a very good guide. He is flexible in what to show you according to your interest. He knows a lot about the history and current life.

Muy top. Conciso y conocedor de toda la historia de su ciudad. Repetiría sin duda.

We had a terrific walk with Iksander around Bishkek. We particularly enjoyed some of the quirky information he provided. We also appreciated how open he was to answering our numerous questions.

Iskender is a very knowledgeable guide who presented the information super well! He also answered all our many questions about Kyrgyzstan, its history and culture and I'm really happy I could join this tour in Bishkek.

Iskender was an excellent guide. He had great knowledge on the history of Kyrgyzstan and the surroundings of Bishkek. It was a great tour and one I would thoroughly recommend!

A fantastic tour with a very knowledgable guide! His English was fantastic and we REALLY enjoyed the tour!!! Throughout the tour he was very happy to answer all our questions. Would highly recommend!
