Book your rental car with Aydow
I’ll help you choose the rental 4×4 best suited to your road trip in Kyrgyzstan.
My name is Aydow.
I’m Kyrgyz, and I’ve been fortunate enough to explore my country as a tour guide from a very young age.
Today, together with my family, I help travellers explore Kyrgyzstan independently. I advise you before your trip and remain your local contact throughout your journey.
My goal is to offer you an authentic and memorable experience by sharing the local knowledge I’ve gained over the years.
What our customers say
Travellers exploring solo, as a couple or with friends, all sharing the same desire to discover the country freely.
“I’ve known Aydow for years. I travelled across the country in one of her Ladas, an unforgettable experience. In 2025, I returned to Song-Kul behind the wheel of one of her Lexus SUVs.
Aydow and her team are my friends and, above all, people I trust. Their knowledge of the country and their professionalism make all the difference.
With My Kyrgyz Friend, you travel with genuine local friends by your side.”
