What to Expect

Osh Bazaar

Our guide picks you up from your hotel. First stop is the legendary open-air Osh Bazaar — a vibrant market where you can find everything from food and spices to souvenirs and musical instruments.

Kyrgyz National Philharmonic Hall

Marvel at the charming architecture of the Philharmonic — a white marble building on a hill that recalls an antique temple, adorned with colourful stained glass and hammered copper details.

The White House

The seat of Kyrgyz government. Your guide shares the dramatic stories of the 2005 Tulip Revolution and the 2010 riots — historic moments etched into the national memory.

Ala-Too Square

The main square of Bishkek — home to the State Historical Museum (90,000 exhibits), Oak Park, a 45-metre flagpole, and the iconic 10-metre equestrian statue of the legendary hero Manas.

Opera and Ballet Theatre

A Soviet-era landmark at the heart of the city. Admire the classical facade and the rich interior paintings by Kyrgyz artists — a testament to the country's deep artistic heritage.

Victory Square

Three massive granite arches forming the silhouette of a yurt. At their centre stands a mother figure with a cup, guarding the eternal flame — a memorial to those who fell in World War II.

Central Mosque & Lunch

Visit one of Central Asia's largest mosques — built in Ottoman revival style with four minarets. Then enjoy a delicious traditional Kyrgyz lunch at a national restaurant before being dropped off at your hotel.
