CBT tours vs online pre-booked tours

[Istvan]

Hello, I will be in Kyrgyzstan next week and having some issues planning my itinerary.
Many places to visit seems to be hard to reach by public transportation (the way I usually do) but tours that can be found online seems so overpriced.

I read that CBT offices organize tours, are these more affordable?
Can these be joined by booking the day before or should be planned weeks before?

Thanks

Which tours ? Some CBT's have a good reputation, other less so.
