“A lovely tour with Guliza! ”
Thank you Guliza for such a great tour of Bishkek! I really enjoyed the way you explained the history, especially about the Soviet period and earlier times, and also gave me a feel for everyday life in the city. Tasting local delicacies, riding the bus, and visiting the museum together made the day really special!
