Karina was the best tour guide!
Karina was an amazing tour guide. She is very energetic, friendly, and easy to talk to. She made sure everyone felt included and comfortable throughout the trip. She kept the group engaged, helped us take nice photos, and always reminded us of the timings so everything ran smoothly.
She also shared helpful tips on what to do in Almaty, including food, places to visit, and other tours to try with Panda Tours. Her recommendations were very useful and made our trip even better.
Karina is very organised, caring, and attentive. She always checked on us and made sure everyone was enjoying. You can really see that she loves what she does.
I would definitely join this tour again, and I hope to have Karina as our guide next time. Highly recommended.

A Wonderful Tour for a Long Day in Kazakhstan
The tour started early around 5:15 pm and it ended at 9:30 pm. You can enjoyed the site views and a traditional lunch in a home. Saida is my professional guide who is an informative and beautiful lady. She played a good traditional music after lunch time. Thank you for her and the driver to keep us safe during the tour.

This was by far the best...
This was by far the best tour I've been on, and it was entirely due to my guide, Alan. Astana is a fascinating city, but Alan elevated this experience even more with his incredible knowledge and genuine passion for the Kazakh people and culture. There are guides... and then there are guides of Alan's level. I have taken many tours and never had a guide like Alan.
All in all, this is a great introduction to some of Astana's incredible sights. If you have limited time in Astana, highly recommend this tour. If you can get Alan as your guide, it will be even better.

Absolutely unforgettable...
Absolutely unforgettable experience!
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. We were picked up on time at 5:00 AM, and the whole day ran smoothly.
We visited a beautiful flower field (with amazing drone videos!), the breathtaking Kolsai Lakes, and the Black Canyon. Horse riding was optional, but the team helped organize it easily.
The final stop with traditional local products (kurt, honey, butter) was a very authentic and pleasant finish to the day.
Transportation was fast and well-timed, and we had enough time at each location without feeling rushed.
The driver and guide truly did their job 100% - professional, attentive, and very well-coordinated. The guide was also engaging, informative, and spoke two languages, making everyone feel included.
Tip: bring cash with you, as in the mountains card payments are often not available.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Almaty!

Great day out of Almaty!
We had an absolutely incredible day exploring Charyn Canyon, Kolsay, and Kaiyndy with Ayan. From the moment he picked us up, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. He shared lots of interesting local knowledge and went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable throughout the entire trip.
If you're looking for a private tour in Almaty, I cannot recommend this tour and Ayan highly enough—he truly made the experience unforgettable!

An absolute must-do - fantastic tour
This tour was incredible! The canyons and lakes are stunning, and a must-see for anyone visiting Kazakhstan. The tour itself is brilliant - perfectly timed to fit everything in, with an amazing meal in a guest house and a very fun off-road ride in a Soviet UAZ truck that I’ll never forget. Our tour guide Serzh was informative and funny, giving us lots of interesting information about the region and Kazakhstan’s history. If you are travelling to Almaty, you should absolutely do this tour. It’s a long day (5:30am pickup, usually back by 8-10pm depending on the size of the group), but it is absolutely worth the early start. Thank you Serzh!

Interesting Petroglyphs visit
Interesting visit to the Petroglyphs. About a 3 hour drive each way, and once there, a short museum visit and a hike around the petroglyph sites. Some parts required climbing, others could be seen from the paths. Our guide was knowledgeable and kind, stopping as much as we needed for snacks/lunch/bathroom breaks.

Awesome way to see the...
Awesome way to see the national park and very comfortable experience staying in the yurt. Was able to meet friendly people from around the world. Serzh was a great tour guide describing the local stores associated with each location. Only thing I would change is staying longer at the final destination because it was so breathtaking!

Great Day at the Lake
Lovely day. Big Almaty Lake is gorgeous. Turquoise water, blue sky, snow-capped peaks made for amazing views and photos. Yerkin was a wonderful guide and so helpful providing information and helping my wife who has mobility problems. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped everyone off anywhere in town he/she chose. Small group of enthusiastic travelers added to the experience. If you have health problems I would recommend the car option.

Amazing and challenging hike
The Almaty hiking tour was amazing, and Ote is an incredible guide. He does a great job catering the tour to your interest and ability level. The hike itself was challenging and very rewarding. Although we didn’t make it to the alpine lake, we enjoyed the views along the way. Weather in the Almaty mountains can be a bit unpredictable, so be prepared for rainstorms/hailstorms. Ote was incredibly supportive and ensured that we got down the mountain safely despite the inclement weather. This tour is a great way to see some of Almaty’s natural beauty, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

A fantastic tour
I highly recommend this tour. I enjoyed everything about it: the singing, the horse show, the food, the guides, the explanations of the Huns lifestyle. All top class. You can even ride the horses and try archery if you like. One of my favorite tours I've ever been on.

Kazakhstan is a special place that welcomes all types of travelers, from nature and culture lovers to skiers to hikers. The small country really wows in the outdoor adventure department; expert guides can take you into canyons and mountains, across glacial lakes, and to stunning wildflower fields. You can also find Kazakhstan tours that showcase the country’s architecture and culture, whether in the modern cities of Almaty and Astana or traditional villages that follow a nomadic way of life.
