I must admit, I'd never heard of Bishek prior to my Silk Road tour but so glad we stayed in the Kyrgyzstan capital as it was a true delight. There are numerous parks and squares that can all be done …Full review by Diane R

As Andrew M said, these are safe cities as long as you take the usual precautions. Unlike Andrew I took the marshrutka from Bishkek (West bus station) to Almaty (Sayran bus station). The services are regular & cheap (500 Som/€6.25 outward, 1,800 tengeì/€4.40 return). The border crossings were easy, in both directions we were over in a few minutes. However, I'm a British citizen so didn't need a visa for either country. Never been to Tashkent, sorry.
Fellow Trippers, Salaam! Please, does anyone know the schedule for the changing of the guard in September? For example, is it every hour on the hour? Every two hours on the hour? At very specific times? Trying to get clarity on this. Thanks in advance! :-)
