Great experience out of the city. - Kadyrbek picked us up from our hotel, drove us out to Burabay, and was a knowledgeable and engaged guide the entire time. I thought he would run out of things to say along the long drive, but he was full of insightful knowledge. For a bit of "getting out of the city" definitely consider this tour!

Great tour with Beautiful Scenery - I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it for someone who wants a relaxing day in nature. We drove from Astana to Burabay which is a beautiful National Park, at the park we hiked up a nice little mountain and had beautiful views of the lakes and mountains, we also took a short boat ride to the hidden island which was very nice. Lunch was great. The tour was well organized and a highlight of my time in Kazakhstan.

Damir is an excellent tour guide (and person)! - Damir was a knowledgeable tour guide and an excellent conversationist. He consistently made sure I was having a great time, and even let me borrow his jacket once we got to Burabay National Park where it was chilly. The views there were beautiful nonetheless, and horseback riding in the forest also felt like an authentic experience. Overall I learned a lot about Kazakhstan, and would definitely recommend Damir as a tour guide for his open-mindedness and hospitality! Рахмет 😄

So worth the tour - It was absolutely worth it to go to Burabay National Park. I climbed up the hill where I could see local people in traditional clothes and falcons. The view to the lake was stunning so it was all worth it to get up the exhausting trail. Coming down I also did a boat ride to secret island that is full of rocks in different shape. Since it was a bit slippery I was only able to climb up a bit but I wanted to be safe so I didn't dare more. I didn't do a horse ride so I can't write something about that experience. Also the lunch break with traditional tea and Plov dish was so delicious and tasty. This tour is absolutely worth it when being in Astana.

Stunning trip - This tour was well worth the drive from Astana, and a pleasant change of scenery as the surrounding area was green, the air very fresh and the view of the lakes beautiful. It is popular with the local people as well, which gave it a nice atmosphere. And Kadyrbek was an excellent tour guide, he knew the best places to go and made the tour an interesting experience. I definitely recommend it as a day-tour from Astana.

A perfect outing - I was on business in Astana at the end of May in 2023. The one day tour to Burabay with Kadir was a perfect outing that allowed me to see some of the countryside. Kadir was a perfect host. He shared his love for Kazakhstan and helped me learn more about his country and its people.
