All Kazakhstan Tours & Excursions in 2026

Jam packed day but worth it! Such a cool experience with beautiful sites. Dariya was an awesome tour guide - she was so friendly & fun, had a lot of knowledge, kept things on track and made the day even better! 100% would recommend if you have a short time in Almaty.

We had a fabulous experience in our private tour to the canyons and the lakes. Zandhos was our private guide and he gave us a splendid experience. He was calm, composed and trustworthy. He explained the significance of the sites we visited with a lot of passion and guided us through the journey. He was also sensitive to give us enough time by ourselves to soak in the experiences especially at the lakes where we wanted to spend more time. Overall I would recommend this private tour and Dos was a fabulous English speaking guide and is highly recommended.

This tour experience was fantastic from start to finish! I did have to write to the company directly & request to be able to book solo, but once on the tour there were several other solo travelers so I think that may have been a Viator control, not the operator. Communication was clear & thorough from before the tour even began, both from the company prior to my trip, and from our tour guide the day before. Axsultan, or Ax, was one of the best tour guides I've ever had, especially on a tour like this which was only 2 days, with a fairly large group of ~32 people. I lucked out with a great group of travelers, for sure, but Ax also had a lot to do with keeping the energy of the whole group positive and exciting. Ax speaks excellent English, and he made sure to give clear directions & info about the country, places we saw, and details about pickup times, meeting times, options for what to do at the various sites, etc, which was very much appreciated! He also gave some good recs for Almaty after the tour. I cannot complain about anything from this 2 day tour with Ax, and I'd add that if you're debating between the long 1 day trips covering the same sites vs this option, go for overnight if you have the time. It's well worth it!
