Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan recent info, plz

hi all,

i am planning a two week trip to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
i searched the forum for info on car rental.. most info seems to be from 2008, 2009.

1. can anybody tell me if it is possible to rent a car (no driver) in Almaty and drive to Kyrgyzstan and back?
2. roughly how much would it cost?

3. if, you have to take a driver, what is roughly the all inclusive price (incl. accomodation for driver, etc)?
4. is it worth it? or are we better off just wing it with public transport?
5. how is public transport? easy to get around and more or less reliable?

6. we're planning the "classic" Almaty - Bischkek - Issyk Kul - Karakol" loop. is it too much in two weeks?
7. any interesting/out of the ordinary points of interests/adventures to be had?
8. any good outfit/tour operator/facilitator you can recommend? (for car rental, horse back riding, trekking, etc.)

9. how much time should we plan in Almaty or Bischkek? -i have no idea what to expect in these cities?

thank you in advance for any positive input!

cheers,
T.

I don't have any recommendations to make regarding companies, but if you decide to rent a car and self-drive, I would advise you to have the contract read very carefully by a Russian speaker and agree on where you can go and have that in writing as well.
