Reason for choosing Ashu Travel: Introduced by an acquaintance

Accommodation:

Night 3: Good atmosphere and hospitality / Downside: Hot water ran out after three consecutive showers
Night 4: Average

Magnificent scenery along the route from Almaty to Charyn Canyon, including the canyon itself and the Tian Shan mountains

Meals： ☆☆☆☆☆
Meals in Kazakhstan suited my taste and were delicious

Tour： ☆☆☆☆☆
The tour plan was carefully crafted, fully incorporating my requests, and the communication process gave me great reassurance. The itinerary and meals were tailored to the stamina of seniors. Since your company mainly focuses on horseback tours, there may be some perceptual gaps regarding accommodations, but I hope this feedback will be useful for future non-riding tours.

Guide： ☆☆☆☆☆
Always responded with a smile, showing a high level of professionalism. When I forgot my smartphone, the quick response was remarkable, and I am deeply grateful.

Message: Thank you for a memorable and enjoyable trip. I truly appreciate the attentive service that cannot be experienced with major travel agencies. Wishing you continued success.

S.M

Reason for choosing Ashu Travel: Because there was a Japanese-speaking guide, it felt safe, cost-effective with accommodation, meals, and transfers included, the desired tour was available, and it was found online

Accommodation: ☆☆☆☆☆

Very satisfied. It would be even better if the room had cups and a kettle, or if hot water was available 24 hours at the dining area for drinks.

Satisfaction with Central Asia’s “scenery” and “cultural experiences”: ☆☆☆☆☆ Impressive!

Chon-Kemin National Park

Meal: ☆☆☆☆☆

Very delicious. The portions could be a little smaller.

Horseback: ☆☆☆☆☆

The ride lasted longer than expected, which felt like a great value.

Overall tour: ☆☆☆☆☆

It would be nice if the quality of the tour could be previewed on YouTube in advance.

Guide: ☆☆☆☆☆

Very kind and responsive, which was great.

Message: Very satisfied. I look forward to joining again. If there were more 1-day or overnight (1 night, 2 days) courses, it would be easier to participate.

Nuriya, thank you so much for everything during the tour.

Thanks to you, we had such a wonderful trip.♡

There are still many places we’d love to see, so the two of us will definitely come back to Kyrgyzstan again.🇰🇬

Please take care on your way back to Bishkek.

We are truly grateful.

Talking about horseback riding,

one of the great things about Kyrgyzstan
is that if you ride or walk here, you realize there’s no fences

their cattle close in near the house in the wintertime
there’s no fences at all　
It’s like the American West was 200 years ago

You can’t do that in Europe,
and you can’t do that in the United States or Canada anymore

And, it’s really reasonable price

The other day we went out, we spent four hours riding
The guest house packed us up a lunch we took out

We rode two hours up into the mountains,
broke for lunch Two hours back,

At the end of the day, he charged me 1,500 kyrgyz som,

which is just under $20

So you can see that this is, an amazing economical place

to have amazing life-changing adventures

I was a little under the weather in Kazakhstan, but I recovered after eating the delicious food at the Ash Guest House, and I was able to enjoy the rest of my schedule.

The horseback riding at Songkhla Lake was also a very enjoyable experience, thanks to the calm nature of the horses and the support of the horse owner who accompanied us.

Above all, Nuriya-san’s Japanese was very good, and she was like an older sister who was close to my age, so I was able to trust her very much.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Nagaoka for his help with arranging the trip and responding to my inquiries in advance. (I apologize for asking you so many detailed questions and causing you trouble.)

Thank you very much!

I was traveling in Kazakhstan with two friends and booked a tour for the first two days. We had planned to visit Lake Kaindy, Black Canyon, Moon Canyon and Cherin Canyon.

Not only did we get to see the wonderful scenery of Kazakhstan, but thanks to our guide and driver, we were able to spend a wonderful time together.

The first tour was wonderful, so I joined the same company’s tour again. We also visited Altyn-Emel, Aktau, and other places with singing sand dunes for two days.

On these two tours, my friend and I felt completely swept away not only by the kindness of the guides and drivers, but also by their knowledge and the joy of sharing their history and culture.

They showed us the beauty of preserved places that not many people go to without hesitation.

At the various guesthouses where I spent the night, I was able to relax like a member of the family.
The food was prepared by the locals, and I was able to taste the delicious and abundant traditional cuisine of this country. The guesthouse cooks cooked the food with all their heart and kindness.

I strongly recommend this company’s tours, which allow you to fully experience the charm of Kazakhstan. Aibek, Safar, Aiden and Almaz are now my friends, wonderful people who made my trip to Kazakhstan unforgettable.

Kyrgyzstan was a really nice country

I traveled around on horseback,

and it was incredibly beautiful and very good

Let’s definitely go to Kyrgyzstan!

This trip was so well worth it,
cost effective, marvelous views, good food, excellent
and knowledgeable guides and bus drivers.

I booked this trip via the homepage and was paired with a korean couple. We had an amazing trip with Aibek driving us safely even through rough weather and terrain and Sholpan explaining and answering questions in excellent English.

The landscape are just breath taking and we had a lot of fun in our tiny group. The guest houses were well chosen and clean with delicious food.

I can only recommend using this website since this is a service making tour planning so much easier, safer and cheaper not only for solo travelers.

Thanks to Aibek for an outstanding trip!

We did a really nice 3 days trip around Altyn-Emel, Charyn Canyon and Kolsai and Kaindy lakes.
The landscape was amazing, the home made food was really tasty and that local sauna in Saty was something!
Thank you Aibek for everything!

Our adventure was nothing short of extraordinary! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking—unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. From towering snowy mountains to a mesmerizing frozen lake, every moment felt like stepping into a dream.

And our incredible guide, Aibek, made the experience even more unforgettable. His thoughtful planning ensured every detail of the trip was perfect.

He looked after us with such care and enthusiasm and introduced us to some of the most amazing local food spots we would never have found on our own.

It was an adventure we’ll cherish forever!

I returned to Japan a little earlier than everyone else.

During the seven days, I was truly taken care of the whole time.

Thank you very much.

Please kindly give my regards to everyone who looked after me.

I’ve safely arrived at the hotel.

This tour was truly satisfying.

Thank you very much.
