Amazing tour in Kazakhstan - Thanks to this amazing tour, we had a great time in Kazakhstan! We visited Kolsai Lake and Charyn Canyon which are stunning place to be. Lunch was included so we can enjoy local food in the villliage. The car was clean and comfortable, toilet break also available during the trip. Thanks to our excellent tour guide ,Yernar. He was friendly, helpful, responsible and speak fluent English. We really appreciate Yernar helped us took awesome aerial shots using his drone. It definitely captured our delightful memories in Almaty! After this great experience of day tour, we immediately decided to join another tour to Altyn-Emel National park next day. In fact, there is limited local tour option to Altyn-Emel National park online. I searched for long time before the trip but the price was not reasonable. Thank you so much for our tour guide to organise this tour in short time with reasonable price. We enjoyed a lot in singing dune. We highly recommend this tour to whom want to explore Kazakhstan.

So wonderful trip ! - All places are very beautiful. Yernar is such a good guide and driver, he gave me more information and invited me to talking along the way. We had short time for that day but he also well managed time so we arrived at Charyn canyon before sunset that so perfect time to be there.

Amazing experience, not to be missed!!! - Such an amazing experience, would recommend to anyone. The photos do not do it justice. we also did a quick horse ride for an extra 5000 tenge for the two of us. By far not the most expensive on the market but cannot imagine how you could get more for your money. Due to the private nature of the tour, we went at our own pace so we could enjoy everything to the fullest. Nurlan our guide/ driver was amazing. As two young girls, going for a full day out of phone service with a stranger is of course daunting but with Nurlan we felt so safe. The car we travelled in was also very comfortable which made a big difference. Also a quick note to say something we were concerned about before booking was that the day would feel like we were sat in the car for way too long. This was completely not the case. Due to the intensity of each spot, the drives in between were nice breaks and it really did not feel like we spent too long in the car. This was definitely helped by travelling by our own car as we were able to do much more in much less time. Overall, could not recommend enough, such a fabulous day. (btw lunch was a typical, basic Kazakh lunch (plov etc - no menu) so maybe bring your own food for lunch if you are a picky eater)

A great way to see all the amazing sights in one day - The day started at 6:30 exactly, being picked up with my guide's brand new car. Everytjinf was scheduled to perfection. The guide/driver was very knowledgable and passionate. I was given the option of first going to the canyon or to the lakes, but was advised that the canyon is better during sunset. We headed to the lakes, where we chose Kolsay first due to being able to reach it by our car, as for Kaindy we needed to wait for the UAZ (old soviet military transport sort of vehicle), since we really went through rough terrain. As for the canyon, we saw it from both up and down, and if you can deal with 22.000 steps per day up and down, I absolutely recommend it. The only downside for some is that my amazing guide doesn't speak much English, but with my basic Russian we had a great time together. If you're a bigger group it shouldn't be a problem at all (I was solo). Wholeheartedly recommend the tour!

Would 100% recommend - Really fantastic tour. Yernur and his father know what they’re doing and given the private nature of the tour, get to experience it away from the large tourist buses and get to appreciate the scenery a lot more.

Great way of seeing the sights in a day - A wonderful day out seeing Charyn canyon, Kolsai and Kaindy lakes. Be prepared for a long day but this made so much easier thanks to Yernar’s excellent organisation and transport - not to mention good company. Would highly recommend! It was one of the highlights of our trip to Kazakhstan.

Spectacular, well planned, adventurous, safe, a must do. - My trip to Almaty was great due to the services provided by Yernar. Everything was planned carefully by him and the trip went as smooth as possible. I was able to see a good amount of the Almaty’s nature in one day. It was a breathtaking experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I credit my great experience to Yernar with his excellent time management and his good company. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to see the best of what Kazakhstan has to offer to contact Yernar.
