I had a really good time with my guide Akhnul. She was really knowledgeable and friendly. She and our driver were both great and I’d definitely recommend this tour company.

The Charyn Canyon is gorgeous and a true natural wonder. Fairly easy walk down to river and caught a truck back to bottom of staircase out of canyon. The meal was also delicious. Price was high, but it is a long trip and we had a great driver and interesting young man.

Spent a wonderful day visiting Charyn Canyon with my guide, Yelnar. He's a very ambitious young man. I enjoyed spending the day with him, learning about life in Kazakhstan and of course, seeing the canyon landscape on our hike. It's beautiful. I also really appreciated that Yelnar showed up on time and that the operator, Kazia Tours, addressed my very specific dietary lunch requirements, something most tour operators do not do. All in all, it was a great day.

This tour was wonderful. The driver arrived in approx. 2.5 hours at the canyon and the car was also excellent and there was a lot of space and the tour guide was also nice and we did an exceptional beautiful tour of the Charyn canyon - this was one of my best trips in Kazastan ... many thanks.

Was soll ich, von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute war es eine sehr beeindruckende Tour. Ich fühlte mich sehr wohl und mein Tourguide war wirklich sehr gut und hat mir alles gut erklärt. Auch ein großes danke an meinem Fahrer. Also, nur empfehlenswert wenn ihr nach Almaty kommt.
Vielen lieben Dank 🙏
