2 days and one night with Max and Green-X - We had a chance to go on a trip with Green X 2 weeks ago. The person who took us was Max. He gave us very complete information and we chatted all the way. Max is also a mountain guide. But the trip we went on was only 2 days 1 night, only going to Charyn Canyon, Kaindy Lake, Kolsai Lake. It wasn't difficult for a mountain guide hahaha, it was very fun and we had a good experience throughout the trip. I highly recommend Max and Green X. Moreover, The guesthouse in Saty Village was better than I thought. The food was delicious. At first, I didn't expect much, but I really liked it.

Great 2-day trip to Charyn, Kolsai, Kaindy (& more) - I had my friends over from different countries (Norway, Lithuania, Vietnam), who wanted to see the best of Kazakhstan's nature. Naturally, I thought of GreenX! We went on a two-day trip the first week of September, to see Charyn, Kolsai and Kaindy, and there were a few more spots we saw in between - the weather was perfect! Our guide & driver was Dmitri, super knowledgeable, kind and attentive! We enjoyed his company and the information he shared, from historical details through archaeological trivia to quirky funky stuff! Overall the trip was amazing and everything went very smoothly! Foodwise, we grabbed a snack for our breakfast on the first day, and then Dmitri recommended a spot for lunch, which was around halfway to Charyn and was cheaper than getting food anywhere near tourist places, we got takeaway there and headed towards Charyn. We then walked for a bit and had our packed lunch. We had dinner at the hotel, (Kolsai Prestige - which let us heat the remaining of our lunch) and we ordered some salads and hot drinks on top. The next day breakfast was included with the accommodation and we bought a packed lunch from the hotel restaurant for the road. In terms of accommodation, I think if we had booked with GreenX more in advance we would've gotten a more authentic experience of one of the people in the surrounding area hosting us (possibly in a yurt!), and it would've been included in the price with GreenX. I had to book the hotel separately, however, we still enjoyed our food & sleep at the hotel. The locations were.... stunning!! 100% must-see. Tips: Make sure you bring cash with you!! Most places closer to Charyn would not be taking cards, and even if you have an account with Kaspi (local bank), the internet connection is not stable, so you will struggle like I did! Luckily Dmitri had some cash which we borrowed to enter the national park areas and eco taxi to the lakes, and paid back to him upon our return, but wasn't ideal, so have cash on you when you travel outside Almaty! I was in touch with Azamat, who had made the entire experience of booking very easy and smooth and I have already been recommending GreenX to my friends and family!

Seamless and awesome! - We did 2 different tours with Green X: 1. Kaindy, Kolsay and Charyn in 1 day! It was awesome in a comfortable vehicle and great tour guide/driver who was really reliable and safe. Gorgeous views! 2. Oi-Qaragai Mountain resort with 1 hour horse ride and chair lift was an amazing experience! Kids and adults enjoyed. Overall I totally recommend Green X. I must mention Anna, the person I was in contact with, she’s just so quick and friendly. I felt so safe booking with her. Well done, GreenX!

An enjoyable custom Golden Ring of Zhetysu - Four of us (1 family) from Australia enjoyed a custom private tour with GreenX in July 2023. Taking the Golden Ring of Zhetysu as a backbone, we added some white water rafting in the Chilik River, and a drop off to Karakol in Kyrgyzstan at the end of the trip. We originally booked to do this tour in 2020, but COVID struck and everything got shut down. Natalya handled this very well, and I remained in contact until 2022 when I re-booked for 2023. Azamat and GreenX organised everything with clear email interactions. We were pleased to meet Ramil, our driver and guide, at our hotel in Almaty on the first day of our trip at the appointed time, with his four-wheel drive that was in good condition. Ramil was polite, professional, spoke excellent English, and knew his subject matter very well. He did all the walking and even the white-water rafting with us, and provided plenty of information about each site that we visited. He was a safe driver and just the right guide for us. The border crossing into Kyrgyzstan at Kegen worked just fine – guards on both sides were friendly. The dinners were delicious, particularly in Zharkent, and the hotels were reasonable and friendly. All up we thoroughly enjoyed our time on this tour, and definitely recommend both GreenX and Ramil.

One of the best experiences of my life - Top tour, individually made for me, to the Kolsoy Lakes including a breathtaking ride and to Charyn Canyon. Maxim, my guide, was so polite and professional, perfect English and a good, comfortable SUV. Rustem, the nomad with the herd of horses, entrusted me with his best horse and took me on by far the most impressive and very fast ride of my life to Kolsoy Lake 2. The support from Azamat in advance was also perfect because everything in April was extremely weather dependent and we had to shorten/postpone the trip. He was available 24/7 via what's app, super nice and 100% responsive to my wishes, it couldn't be better. That's why I booked another family trip through Azamat in September 2023 to show my family the beautiful, breathtaking nature of Kazakhstan. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Max, Rustem and Azamat

Tour of lakes and Charyn canyon - Azamat took good care of us and was very flexible. He took us to see stunning natural beauty in Kazakstan. Stayed one night with a local family in village Saty. It was awesome. Local home cooked food was great. Will strongly recommend this tour group.
