Strong professionalism, excellent organization, Samuel designs tailor-made experiences to clients’ dreams! I’ll be back!
This summer, we spent a great week with Samuels company and espacially with our guide Fabien. We could profit from a tailor-made tour to Song-Kul, Bosogo, Keul Suu and Tash Rabat, perfect organisation and a truly outstanding commitment to show us the nature, the culture, the history and the people of Kyrgyzstan. It was one of the highlights of our trip to central asia – thank you for many wonderful memories!
Wow! Just back from 15 days accross Kirghizistan! This happily wild country transforms your trip into an authentic journey! Of critical importance to sustain such an unique experience, one needs a excellent guide.
My boyfriend and I had great pleasure to travel with a careful, flexible, attentive and nonjudgmental guide. He enthusiastically shared his knowledge in economics, history, geology, ecology and culture with us. He facilitated our understanding of local habits and connected us with kirghiz people (I acknowledge his language skills : french, german, english, russian and kirghiz !). Thanks to our guide, we got linked to kyrgyz people even though not having any common language ! What a fundamental experience ! Our journey was definitely fulfilling, therefore, we are looking forward to travel again next year to Kyrgyzstan ☺ This is the reason why we warmly and highly recommend Samuel to any traveler looking for authenticity and discovery across Kyrgyzstan.
Magnifique expérience dans le pays des Monts-Célestes avec Samuel. J’ai particulièrement apprécié la rencontre avec les locaux dans les différentes maisons d’hôtes qui travaillent en coopération avec l’agence. En résumé, balades à cheval, randonnées, ski, natation dans un lac à 3016 m, nuits sous la tente, repas inoubliables, sorties dans la capitale, …, …, que de bons souvenirs que je ne demande qu’à revivre.
I just returned from a trip to Kyrgyzstan in March 2014. Samuel helped me formulate a bespoke tour package which consisted of a car, a driver and an English speaking guide. The itinerary for this trip was bespoke too. I can honestly say I had a fantastic time in Kyrgyzstan. The program was fantastic with a nice balance of nature, culture and people. Samuel took into consideration my needs and expectations. Although it was only a short 4-day trip, there was enough substance in the program that it truly gave me a great flavor of this beautiful country. I can’t thank Samuel enough for all his efforts and would highly recommend his company to anyone.
Nous avons vécu 20 jours inoubliables en Kirghizie avec Samuel. Leurs guides sont sympas et serviables et nous avons aussi été ravis d’avoir pu rencontrer et communiquer avec de nombreux kirghiz grâce à l’éco-tourisme. Je recommande particulièrement la chevauchée du Pic Lénine aux amoureux des chevaux et de la nature.
J’ai eu l’occasion de visiter le Kirghizistan avec Samuel et je ne peux que recomander leurs services. Le tour m’a permi de découvrir un magnifique pays et le guide francophone a partagé avec nous la richesse de la culture kirghize.
