Tours from Almaty across Kazakhstan and Semirechye

We are a team of local guides who know every trail in Semirechye and love showing the real Kazakhstan without embellishment.

Why Us

Why travelers choose our tours from Almaty

Local Guides

All our guides are residents of Almaty and Semirechye. They know the history, legends, and secret spots not found in guidebooks.

Honest Prices

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.

No Prepayment

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.

Safety First

All routes are tested, the vehicles are in good order, and our guides are experienced in the mountains.

Unique Routes

From Charyn Canyon to Kolsai Lakes — we know how to show Kazakhstan so you fall in love at first sight.

Personalized Approach

Want a leisurely walk or an extreme trek? We'll tailor the tour to your wishes and fitness level.

Who we are and why people trust us

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.

How we organize tours from Almaty

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.

Why local guides matter

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).

Fair prices and safety

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.
