BEST TRAVEL EXPERIENCE SO FAR IN MY LIFE - This is so far the best experience and memory that I had on my entire life, it's worth it, you'll get to see the beauty of the Kazakhstan nature along the way plus I was a solo traveller and I met tons of amazing people in this experience and made friends and connected with people. First stop to Charyn Canyon felt like I was in a Star Wars Scene, 2nd to Kolsai Lake, wonderful nature sceneries and landscape, then lastly is the Kaindy Lake the best and highlight of this experience, where you will have a horse back riding from the mountain feet to the middle of the mountain to reach the Kaindy Lake in the middle. 300% Recommended. We had a wonderful experience with our sweet, friendly, helpful, and hardworking tour guide Aiymee from Panda Tours + our expert driver Aidyn he took us safely to each location, and he's driving smoothly didn't even felt nauseous with his professional driving. Will definitely book this again when I come back to Kazakhstan. [email protected] from Dubai

Good sites but unorganized - Good sites, however the tour was very unorganized. The second bus was 20 minutes late in the morning. There were two vans with only one guide. First stop we were told get ready for the site seeing, but it was just a snack break and we weren’t told when to get back on bus. First stop for the site we were spread out on a hike, so not everyone heard when we needed to be back. Many people were late. We lost 30 minutes there. Very poor communication with guide Ayim from Panda Travel.
