About Us
We are a team of local guides who know every trail in Semirechye and love showing the real Kazakhstan without embellishment.
Why Us
All our guides are residents of Almaty and Semirechye. They know the history, legends, and secret spots not found in guidebooks.
We don't hide extra charges. What is included in the price and what is paid separately is written on every tour card — before you book, not at the end of the trip.
Book a tour risk-free. Payment only on the day of the trip. If your plans change, cancellation is free — just message us on WhatsApp.
All routes are tested, the vehicles are in good order, and our guides are experienced in the mountains.
From Charyn Canyon to Kolsai Lakes — we know how to show Kazakhstan so you fall in love at first sight.
Want a leisurely walk or an extreme trek? We'll tailor the tour to your wishes and fitness level.
Toor.kz is a project created by travelers for travelers. We live in Almaty and love our region. Our goal is to show you Kazakhstan not as a postcard, but as it really is: welcoming, wild, and stunningly beautiful. Each guide has dozens of tours conducted and hundreds of grateful travelers behind them.
The process is simple and transparent. You choose a tour on the website and message us on WhatsApp. We agree on the details: time, meeting place, route features. On the day of the trip we meet you in central Almaty or at your hotel — we confirm the spot in advance. Payment is made on the day of the trip. No prepayments or hidden fees.
Only a local knows where to find wild apple trees in the gorge, which cafe serves the best kumys, and how to skip the lines at popular spots. Our guides are not just tour leaders — they are storytellers and friends. They will show you not only the Kolsai Lakes or Charyn Canyon, but also little-known trails, hidden waterfalls, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Trans-Ili Alatau (Ile-Alatau).
We make a point of not inflating prices. The tour price includes transport and the guide's services, and what is paid separately — lunch, some entrance tickets, insurance — is stated honestly on the tour card. Safety is our priority: routes are adapted to the season. For children and older people we offer gentle programmes.
We organise one-day and multi-day tours from Almaty. The most popular destinations: Charyn Canyon, Kolsai and Kaindy lakes, the Assy plateau, Turgen Gorge, Big Almaty Lake. For history lovers — excursions to the Tamgaly petroglyphs and medieval settlements. There are both group tours and private programmes. Choose on the website or message us on WhatsApp — we will find the perfect option.
Team
Routes are led by working guides and instructors. The same people answer in WhatsApp and accompany groups on tour.
