I went on a 12-day private, tailor-made trip to Kyrgyzstan with this agency. The organization was precise and met all our expectations. Our driver, Bakyt, was truly kind, attentive, polite, and very helpful—and great company, too. The vehicle we traveled in was very comfortable. It is hard to describe the beauty and majesty of those vast, open spaces, surrounded by eagles, horses, mountains, and stunning glaciers. Kyrgyzstan is magnificent, and the Kyrgyz people are incredibly welcoming. I would also add that the food was divine. I would certainly recommend this agency 😊.

3stans Tour very well organized. Well coordinated transfers, professional guides and good drivers, especially the one in Kirghizistan. Comfortable accomodation. Travel Land is truly a reliable travel agency that I would recommend. A special thanks to Mr. Zhazgul.

도로가 공사중인 곳도 많고, 비포장이거나 오프로드인 곳도 많아서 좋은 렌터카 회사에서 좋은 차를 빌렸습니디. 운전경력증명서를 지참하지 않아 차량 인수에 크게 어려움을 겪었는데 긴 시간동인 참을성 있게, 끝까지 친절하게 응대해주신 직원분께 감사드립니다. 덕분에 가족과 즐겁고 안전하게 키르기스스탄이라는 아름다운 나라를 돌아볼 수 있었습니다. 다음에 다시 이 나라에 돌아오게되면 또 Travel Land에서 차를 빌릴 생각입니다. 감사합니다.

Oldukça profesyonel bir ekip. Kiraladığımız Toyota Rav4 ile Kırgızistanın güzelliklerini keşfetme fırsatı bulduk. Bize her konuda çok yardımcı oldular. Hızlı dönüşleri ve anlayışlı yaklaşımları sayesinde hiç bir sorun yaşamadık.

Wypożyczaliśmy auto w maju na 8 dni. Obsługa i stan samochodów bardzo dobra. Podstawowe narzędzia są w samochodzie. Po oddaniu samochodu pamiętam że jest jakiś okres chyba do 2dni - dostajesz decyzję (po inspekcji mechanika) czy z samochodem jest wszystko w porządku. U nas na szczęście bez problemowo. Serdecznie polecamy te wypożyczalnie.
