Long Day Well Spent
If you’re short on days, this would be the tour format to go for. We were a little anxious that the start was too early and the length of the tour was really long but since the stops were well paced, we could get rest in pockets and in the end enjoyed the tour! John was a really chilled out guide and made the entire experience enjoyable.

5 star tour
Zhenis was an exceptional tour guide. I booked this overnight tour on viator (Kolsai Kaindy Lakes with Charyn Canyons). The bus they used was modern and comfortable, and the driver drove safely. Both lakes were very beautiful and the food provided was of high quality. As well, the yurt was comfortable and the beds were soft. As an American, the canyons were repetitive due to the grand canyons in Arizona but nonetheless for most others they will be extremely cool. Overall easily 5 stars among the best tours l've done. The only recommendation I would add is to add more pick up points in the future. Would be easier for the guests. It's not like the time was essential as we got to the overnight accommodations before 6pm. 3 is less than what I would expect for a city as big as Almaty.

My guide was Nargiza and I cannot praise her highly enough. An in depth knowledge of the history of Almaty and Kazakhstan given to me in perfect English. She will tailor a tour for you including a shopping for souvenirs opportunity if desired. Even bargained for me and obtained a price reduction. She is warm, funny and a delight to be around. Book her!!!

Chill and relax trip....
Chill and relax trip. Everything is hassle free. Everything is good about the trip however, I think it maybe a little short? Anyway, still a good trip. Our guide Yerkin is also knowlegeable about the place and has shared helpful information. His extra effort with the drone shots is a big plus. Big Almaty lake’s beauty is easily seen with those drone shots.

Fantastic day out with lots of activities and sights
The locations we went to were great - not too rushed and not too lax. Aigerim, our guide was a gem. She managed our group well gave us information in a timely manner and was a lot of fun. I/ we got lucky with a great group with a similar vibe - which really made the full day trip all the more special

Fantastic tour! So many...
Fantastic tour! So many natural wonder to see in one day! Charyn, Kolsay and Kaindy are all beautiful and very unique. In addition to enjoying natural wonders we also rode horses and had a very cool photoshoot in national outfits. It's a long tour but absolutely worth it! We got a lot to see and do without feeling rushed. The drive was very comfortable and beautiful. Our guide Aikerim did an excellent job

Echoes Through Charyn Canyon
We had a wonderful time visiting Charyn Canyon in Kazakhstan. The scenery was breathtaking, and the canyon left us speechless.
Thanks to our guide, Moon, who was friendly and made the trip memorable for us. Her stories made the journey even more enjoyable!
The local food was excellent, especially the lagman and duck dish.
We were also impressed by the driver’s skill. Despite the long drive from Almaty, the ride was smooth and comfortable.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience Kazakhstan’s beautiful nature and warm hospitality:)

Unforgettable 2 Days in Altyn-Emel – Jaw-Dropping Views & Excellent Guiding!
We booked a 2-day trip to Altyn-Emel National Park with Kazakhstan Very Nice, and it was incredible! Our guide, Kassym, was fantastic—extremely welcoming and deeply knowledgeable about the history and million-year-old geology of these natural wonders.
The itinerary was perfect: we visited the 600-year-old willow tree, the volcanic Katutau mountains, and went on an adventurous hike through the breathtaking, colorful Aktau mountains. We stayed overnight at Basshi village, where we enjoyed relaxing accommodations and a decent vegetarian meal. Finishing the trip at the Singing Dunes the next morning was unforgettable. Highly recommended!

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.

Amazing Almaty
We were very fortunate to have Erasyl as our private guide in Almaty. From early morning pickup to our return to the hotel, he took excellent care of us with his professional approach and advanced English. Erasyl impressed us with his deep knowledge of Kazakhstan's history, science, business, culture, and even politics. He shared fascinating information throughout our journey while always being respectful and mindful of cultural boundaries during our conversations.
Erasyl went above and beyond during our visits to Lake Kaindy and Lake Kolsay. When I struggled with walking in these areas, he provided helpful assistance that made me feel comfortable and supported. His hard work, helpful nature, and genuine care made our experience truly special. Erasyl is a wonderful ambassador for his beautiful country Kazakhstan, and we hope he continues to share his knowledge and passion with more visitors in the future.

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.

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.
