Salam! This is Sugi from ASHU TRAVEL, your source for scenic horse riding tours in Central Asia.
Many guests joined us again this summer, and we received lots of wonderful reviews and feedback.
Here are a few of those reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to experience scenic horse riding on a trip to Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan, we hope they help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H.A.: “Moved by Nuriya’s hospitality”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why I chose ASHU: Because there’s a Japanese-speaking guide, because it seemed like great value with accommodation, meals and transfers included, because they had the tour I wanted, because I found it online<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodation: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food was delicious, the rooms were clean and the staff were kind, so I had a really good stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central Asian scenery: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606 Amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view when we rode up a 3,000 m mountain on horseback was beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meals: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every meal came with lots of dishes, and I looked forward to mealtimes. Everything was very delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horse riding: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The horse listened to me well and was so cute. The horsemen not only supervised us while riding but also taught me how to tack up. I got to trot and canter too, and it was really fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall tour: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything was great: the food, the riding, the accommodation, the guide’s support, etc. I really want to join again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guide: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuriya’s hospitality is wonderful. I relied on her a lot. I lost count of how many times I called her name during my stay… lol. Besides the actual tour itinerary, she let me experience all sorts of things. The horsemen were also very gentle and kind to us. They set up and took down the tents, and looked out for us in many ways while we were riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Message: Before the tour, I exchanged messages with Sugiura. She answered my detailed questions and concerns very carefully. Thanks to that, I was able to start the tour without any worries and enjoy it to the fullest. I definitely want to join again. Thank you so much to everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S.M.: “Very satisfied with the riding, the lodging and the food”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why I chose ASHU: Because there’s a Japanese-speaking guide, because it felt reassuring, because it seemed like great value with accommodation, meals and transfers included, because they had the tour I wanted, because I found it online
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodation: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606
Very satisfied. It would be even better if there were cups and a kettle in the room, or a service where you could get hot water for drinks in the dining room 24 hours a day.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central Asian scenery: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606 Amazing!
Chong-Kemin National Park
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meals: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606
Very delicious. The portions could be a little smaller.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horse riding: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606
We got to ride longer than I expected, so it was great value.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall tour: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606
It would be nice to be able to see how good the tour is on YouTube beforehand.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guide: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606
Very kind and helped with all sorts of things, which was great.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Message: Very satisfied. I look forward to next time. If there were more 1-day or 2-day, 1-night courses, it would be easier to join.

H.: “Grateful for attentive service you won’t find with big companies” “A schedule and thoughtful care that seniors can rely on”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why I chose ASHU: I was referred by an acquaintance
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodation:
Nights 1\u20132: Good atmosphere, food and hospitality
Room for improvement: the shower\/toilet booth was cramped (maybe only in the triple room), and water leaked outside the booth
Night 3: Good atmosphere and hospitality
Room for improvement: when three people showered in a row, the hot water ran out (tank capacity)
Night 4: Neither good nor bad
Night 5: Satisfied overall

Meals: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606
The food in Kazakhstan suited my taste and was delicious
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall tour: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606
From the careful planning of the tour itinerary, you fully incorporated our wishes, and the communication throughout that process was excellent and very reassuring. You paid close attention to everything, including a schedule and meals suited to seniors’ stamina. Since your company focuses mainly on horse riding tours, there may be some gap in expectations regarding accommodation. I hope this helps for your non-riding tours in the future.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guide: \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606
Handled everything with a smile\u2014truly professional. The quick response when I left my smartphone behind was wonderful, and I can’t thank you enough.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Message: Thank you for a fun and memorable trip. I’m grateful for the attentive service you can’t get from big travel agencies. I wish you continued success.
