great day - Our guide/driver Dmitry was really fantastic. Very knowledgeable but not over-bearing. He was intuitive to everyone's personality. He made a great effort to point out everything that had genuine interest. We all had a wonderful day. Very often guides try too hard. If you book any tour, ask for him.

Great 1-day tour together with comprehensive information package - We had a one-day tour to Charyn Canyon, Alexander as our tour guide and driver. The whole day was really enjoyable. Of course the canyon itself and walking over there was nice, but talking with Alexander was at least as nice too! He gave us a huge amount of information about Kazakhstan and also, as he's an experienced traveller, he has a good view to relate things from different places. The whole driving was around 100 km, but it was comfortable with a good driver. In addition, as we were a bit faster in our day trip, we visited the Medeu park as a bonus in the end of the day. Really can recommend these guys!

Amazing experience! - It was without a doubt the best experience we had in Kazakhstan. The tour was perfect and in addition to visiting the canyon, we also visited some famous lakes and had an incredible cultural immersion tasting the local flavors. Our lunch was delicious and was served to us in a typical nomadic hut. It was amazing. Our guide Michael did everything to make us feel part of the local life, answering all our questions teaching us a lot about the country and the places visited. This experience has certainly entered our list of the best moments of our travels around the world.

Super day I will remember forever - Aidyn was professional, knowledgeable, personable, and safety-minded. What a great day. I booked my next tour with SUVtours before the current one was even finished.

Amazing tour :-) - The tour program is amazing. Recommend you if you visit Almaty. We had some schedules’ problem, and we could modify the meeting time in advance. The guide is friendly- he told several things about Almaty, Kazakhstan, etc, he took our pictures a lot, and made our trip funny. The traditional food we had in the tour was also really nice and fresh. If I can come back to the Almaty, I’ll definitely use Suvtour’s adorable tour program. 한국인 분들 고민 중이시라면 선택하시길 강추드립니다. 한국인 후기가 잘 없어서 약간 고민고민 했었는데 진짜 후회 없습니다. 다시 카자흐스탄 올 일 있더라도 저는 여기 투어 이용할 것 같아요!

great place with great guide - Communication with Kiryll was excellent, he responded for any question almost immediately. Mikhail was one of the best tour guides we ever met. We spent a really good time on the tour and it was great to stop by in the middle of the steppe to have a picture with sheeps :) I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars, 'cause the price could have been lover, but the tour itself was fantastic.

Beat tourguide ever - If you are still thinking where to book your daytour out of almaty, you can stop looking and this should be your choice! My partner and i booked this tour and we were guided by Ruslan to the Charcyn Canyon. He truly is the best guide ever。 He is very caring and tailored to our needs. He was on time to pick us up and introduced all about kazakhstan along the way, from culture to music. When we aere in the canyon, he made sure we got all the great photospots while at the same time shade us from the big winds and guarantee our safety. You can tell when a guide is truly passionate about his job and Ruslan made sure we have the best welcome from Kazakhstan. I was laving the next day at night, but my airbnb host didnt allow us to keep the luggage. Ruslan volunteered to drive our luggage during his offday, while bringing us to visit a surprising spot of medeu and shymbulak which was amazinggggg. He did it jus to help us without charging us a cent. We became friends and he truly made our experience in almaty amazing! Will surely come back for more tours from this guude and i highly recommend this company! Thank you Ruslan!

Confirm bookings but no one shows up - Totally unprofessional company. Had a tour confirmed with a pickup between 05:00 and 05:30 - but nobody showed up. Phone not answered, whatsapp messages ignored. Suddenly shortly before 08:00 the message that the amount charged to the credit card will be refunded.. But no explanation even I had demanded one. Now it was too late to search alternative options for a day tour. Stay away.
