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.

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.

I liked Kadi's and her friends interest of our culture and life. They were so sincere and kind-hearted at the same time, so I enjoyed all the time with them together.
