A must-see tour when visiting Almaty - This day was fantastic - full of amazing scenery and adventures. Michael was an excellent guide. He took great care of me, drove really well, organised everything smoothly, and was patient when I was feeling fatigued. Charyn Canyon was a must-see and the lakes were beautiful. I feel like I gained an understanding of this country from only my first day here. I would highly recommend Explore Kazakhstan as a tour company.

Incredible and humbling - Highly recommend. We had an awesome experience. I booked a day tour to visit three places in a day and my bookings were confirmed immediately. I got Madi on wats app and he guided me and informed all about the tour. Our tour guide Chingiz was a wonderful kind and supportive man. We had a delicious home cooked meal for lunch in a village guest house.
From our experience I recommend a two tour so that you are not too tired and take time to enjoy the serene scenic views.
Though we were very much happy with our tour packages since it fit with our schedule.
