VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE - Kassym was an excellent tour guide and travel buddy. Very friendly and professional, and went out of his way to show us the beautiful Charyn canyons. The car was very comfortable and clean and the lunch on the way back at the little restaurant was fabulous. Can totally recommend him as a tour guide.

Two beautiful days with Kassym - Private tour - We had a private-two days experience visiting lakes and canyon. We had fun, enjoying every moment and every spot our guide showed us. We visited the two lakes (Kolsai and Kaindy) on the first day and the Charyn canyon on the second one, staying in a typical Yurta for the night. Everything was perfectly arranged, from the shifts to the tours themselves. It wouldn’t had been the same without Kassym
