      The tour was good however...

      Neha_A, Aug 2025
      The tour was good however it is not explained properly. It is a private tour and there is decent amount of walking involved about 5km. 2.5km is trek to the waterfall and 2 km walk to the lake. Therefore, I would advise to wear proper shoes for the same. We did not have lunch, not sure if it was included or not. However, it is not refunded. The places visited are nice however, the lake looks bigger in the picture and so does the waterfall. Assy plateau is great!

      Amazing tour, Amazing tour guide (Boris)

      The Assy Plateau was a beautiful and truly unique experience. Our tour guide Boris was awesome and really made the experience special!!! !We loved the waterfall hike and Issyk. If you are in Almaty you should 100% do this tour!

      We had a great experience...

      We had a great experience on our tour! Because of extensive snow and an avalanche across a road, we were not able to take the intended tour. However, our guide, Chingiz, adjusted our plans and we had a lovely time hiking near the Turgen River and spending time at the Shymbulak Ski Resort. We also had a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant, with our guide ordering a spread of local dishes. Would definitely recommend this tour group. Finally, I left my sweatshirt in the tour vehicle and Chingiz went out of his way to drop it off at my hotel later that week.

      Bloody perfect 😍

      Don't miss out on visiting Assy plateau and Turgen gorge, it's absolutely wonderful. Watching large herds of horses and cattle roam over the verdant hills of the plateau was truly moving. Our driver was great too!
