点评:My group of 6 had a amazing experience in Kyrgyzstan led by Azamat.
Planning: It was easy to communicate with the VisitAlay team via WhatsApp to get quotations and make adjustments to the itinerary. The team is very responsive although it'd be helpful if they can also proactively share more information about the tour such as packing list, suggested items to bring etc.
We had to made changes on very short notice due to some emergency but they were able to accommodate our requests and checked in daily to make sure we are alright. Communication between VisitAlay's office and the guide can be better in communicating the changes but overall, it worked out smoothly.
Transport: With a group of 6, we had a very comfortable mini bus that brings us around the country. The driver made sure we get to the next site on time and more importantly, safely. He also took pride in his vehicle, cleaning it daily after we arrived at the accommodations. We didn't realized that there is air-condition/AC in the vehicle until day 3 so it'd be nice if the air-con was turned on proactively, especially in the summer heat
Accommodations: We opted for 4 nights at yurt camps for the full experience and they are much more comfortable than expected. The camps selected by VisitAlay were generally well maintained and we had a pleasant stay.
Food: The local food typically comprises of grains and meats. Lunch was at our own expenses and Azamat the guide would bring us to good lunch spots. Just take note that options might be very limited in the countryside "restaurants"
Guide: Azamat is a very wonderful guide and he made sure that my friends and I are well taken care off. He is very knowledgably and shared stories, information about the country which added more colours to our experience. He is proactive in helping us optimize the itinerary for the day and made sure we enjoyed ourselves.
翻译:我们一行六人在Azamat的带领下,在吉尔吉斯斯坦度过了一段美好的时光。
行程规划:通过WhatsApp与VisitAlay团队沟通非常顺畅,我们可以轻松获取报价并调整行程。团队响应迅速,但如果他们能主动分享更多关于行程的信息,例如打包清单、建议携带物品等,那就更好了。
由于一些紧急情况,我们不得不在很短的时间内做出变更,但他们能够满足我们的要求,并每天与我们确认行程,确保我们一切安好。VisitAlay办公室和导游之间的沟通在变更沟通方面还有待改进,但总体而言,行程安排非常顺利。
交通:我们一行六人,乘坐一辆非常舒适的小巴,带我们游览了吉尔吉斯斯坦。司机确保我们准时到达下一个景点,更重要的是,确保我们安全到达。他也对自己的车辆感到自豪,每天在我们到达住宿地后都会清洁车辆。我们直到第三天才发现车里有空调,所以如果能提前打开空调就更好了,尤其是在炎热的夏天。
住宿:为了充分体验,我们选择了四晚蒙古包营地,那里比我们预想的要舒适得多。VisitAlay 挑选的营地通常维护得很好,我们度过了愉快的时光。
餐饮:当地食物通常以谷物和肉类为主。午餐自费,导游 Azamat 会带我们去一些不错的午餐地点。不过要注意,乡村“餐厅”的选择可能非常有限。
导游:Azamat 是一位非常棒的导游,他确保我和我的朋友都得到了很好的照顾。他知识渊博,经常分享关于这个国家的故事和信息,这让我们的体验更加丰富多彩。他积极主动地帮助我们优化当天的行程,确保我们玩得开心。
