5-day tour of Almaty and Almaty Region

The road is bumpy in places, but that's minor. Guide Anzhelika is super!

We gathered with friends in a big group to celebrate the end of the school year. We spent a long time choosing between different destinations, and settled on this one. And we didn't regret it! The minibus is comfortable, the ride was fun. Charyn Canyon impressed with its size, we walked along the bottom, looked at the rocks. Kolsai Lakes are a separate story, the water is crystal clear, mountains all around. The overnight stay in the guesthouse was calm, we had dinner with our group. The guide answered all questions, suggested the best angles for photos. We had a great time, I recommend it to everyone who loves active recreation.

We planned this tour for a long time, but kept postponing it because of the kids' school. Finally, in May we went as a family. We liked Mr. Aleksandr's work, he helped everywhere and told the history. The view of Charyn Canyon is amazing, especially the place called Valley of Castles. We walked to Kolsai Lakes, nature is quiet, the air is clean. Lunch was tasty, but we paid ourselves. The overnight stay was good, the hosts are hospitable. We're thinking of going on another tour next year.

My husband and I had long wanted to see Kolsai Lakes, but kept putting it off. This time we made up our minds and took the five-day tour. The nature, of course, is superb: mountains, clear water, fresh air. The guide told many interesting things about each place, especially about Charyn Canyon. The road to the canyon took several hours, but the scenery outside the window kept us from getting bored. At the lakes we walked on foot, climbed to the viewpoints. We got a bit tired, but there are lots of impressions. We paid for lunches ourselves, but the portions are big. Overall, we were satisfied, thanks for the organization.

A bit tired, but great impressions.

Thanks to Madina for the organization, everything was on point! My friend and I decided to go back at the end of summer, but only went now. On the first day we walked through the Valley of Castles in Charyn Canyon, the scale is simply stunning. We stayed overnight at a guesthouse in Kolsai, in the morning we went to the lakes, the water is crystal clear, the mountains reflect in it. We're very happy with the trip!

Good tour to get to know the region.

We took this tour spontaneously, a couple of days before vacation. My wife and I decided we'd had enough of sitting at home. The minibus turned out to be comfortable, the driver drove carefully, without jerking. On the first day we reached Charyn Canyon, walked through the Valley of Castles — the scale is impressive. Then we moved to Kolsai Lakes, stayed overnight in a guesthouse. In the morning we went to the Lower Lake, walked slowly, admired the views. The water is clear, the mountains reflect like in a mirror. Lunch was tasty, though paid separately. The way back was calm. Overall, the trip left only good emotions.

We had been eyeing this route for a long time, but it never worked out. Finally we went with colleagues — a small group. The program ran to the minute, no delays. The guide explained everything clearly, answered questions. Charyn Canyon was especially memorable: we stood on the edge, breath-taking. We stayed overnight in a guesthouse near Kolsai, in the morning walked to the lakes. The weather was excellent, it was hard to believe everything went so smoothly. Meals were not included, but a cafe near the canyon saved us. I recommend it to those who want to see nature without unnecessary fuss.

We hesitated for a long time, but didn't regret it.

The tour exceeded expectations. The views are breathtaking. The only thing is lunch could have been more varied, but we ate enough. Special thanks to Sergey for the positive vibes and lots of photos.

Thanks to the guide for a great excursion! We learned a lot. Next time we'll take another tour.

The departure was delayed by 15 minutes, but we made up for it. Very satisfied.
