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.

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:)

Dear Akane, thank you so much for your kind review! We are very happy that you enjoyed Charyn Canyon, the local cuisine, and your trip with our guide Moon. We hope to welcome you back to Kazakhstan and show you even more beautiful places!
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.
Good transport, great guide Elena from Kazia Tour, good lunch and unique experience of the trip. I recommend it to everyone.
