Iskender - Tour Guide in Bishkek

Hello! I’m Iskender — born and raised in Bishkek. Though I’ve spent most of my life here, my travels across Europe and Central Asia have changed the way I see my hometown.

What used to be a routine city now feels like a fascinating place full of hidden stories, unique flavors, and vibrant contrasts.

Traveling taught me to look at Bishkek as if I were seeing it for the first time — with curiosity, wonder, and appreciation. Since then, I’ve rediscovered this city: its rich history, diverse neighborhoods, warm people, and evolving culture. I’ve developed a real passion for sharing these discoveries with others.

If you're curious about local life, historical gems, and where to taste the best plov or samsa — I’d love to guide you. I speak fluent English and can also hold a conversation in French and Portuguese. I have my own transport, so we’re not limited to just the city center — I can show you hidden corners and peaceful parks beyond the usual routes.

My goal? To help you experience Bishkek not just as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest.

Iskender showed us around the Oak Park and some other places and shared some interesting information not only about the history (which was quite complicated sometimes) but also life in Bishkek - we liked it :)
