Outstanding beauty of Kazakhstan

We had such a fantastic experience with Елдар/Yeldar on our 2 day tour! He was entertaining, catered for everyone's needs, and most importantly he had extensive knowledge of all the attractions as well as interesting facts and history about the country. This is by far one of the best tours I've been on and I can't thank Yeldar enough. He's very approachable and always made sure we were taken care of. Also a big shout out to Alex, our driver for getting us around and back home safely! Thank you all!

A day trip for the natural wonders of Kazakhstan

It's was a wonderful experience to see these beautiful places. Our tour guide Ayau from Kazahstan Very Nice was so friendly and accomodating...She shared a lot of the history of the country. She gave a lot of info about the places that we have visited. The Charyn Canyon (Valley of Castles). By walking down below the canyon, I was mesmerized by the dramatic red rock formations and the towering sandstones walll. It was indeed like a castles. We also visited the Black and Mloon Canyon. The best part of the trip is visiting the 2 lakes. Kolsai and Kaindy Lake. The Kolsai lake was a paradise with a peaceful surroundings. The view was so stunning and beautiful perfect for relaxing and taking amazing photographs. The crystal-clear turqouise alpine water plus the pine forest wiith the snow-capped mountains on the background makes you wonder that a place like this exist. The boardwalk strolls and hearing the rushing waters on the river was a perfect melody that natures could bring. Seeing the Kaindy's famous submerged tree trunks that has been kept alive for many years makes you feel that you are stepping into a fairytale surrounded by nature and tranquikity. .The reflections of the mountains and the pine trees makes the lake alive. The entire journey was filled with incredible views, fresh mountain air and countless photos. Kazakhstan's natural beauty is truly underrated and these places are absolute must visit destinations if you are a nature lover, love adventures and breathtaking landscapes. Every destination was worth visiting and the memory will last a lifetime.

Great experience

It was a fantastic experience traveling to the canyons and the lakes. Charyn canyon visit did take time and we managed to reach and get back just in time. Our tour guide Ms.Ai was exceptional, with her narrations, humor and ability to keep the group in high spirits. Kudos to her. The vehicle was rather cramped but manageable for a day trip. Wish they'd used a bigger van.

It was a great tour and...

It was a great tour and good to see different scenery. I appreciated getting up early when we got to the lake because we were the only people there. By the time we left two tour buses had just arrived, spoiling the peace. Leana was a great guide. She looked after us well and seemed happy to share what life is like in Kazakhstan.

Beautiful experience, well-managed in terms of timing, we visited everything planned without any rush. Didi was an excellent guide. Attentive, present, but never intrusive (something that matters a lot to us). Highly recommended experience to get lost and revel in steppes, canyons, and mountains.

Amazing experience not to be missed if visiting Almaty

Fascinating insight to Kazakh nomadic history with a wide range of activities.

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.

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.
