Your knowledgeable Qazaq friend - Andrey and his tour was recommended by my Friend. We discussed various options, Andrey helped us with pro and con of different options for our situation and we chose Charyn Canyon. Our Guide Hakim arrived ahead if time. Solid Chevrolet Suburban. Hakim speaks good English, was very courteous and happy to chat and and then let us snooze when we wanted. Was proactive in checking for coffee and WC breaks. While the Canyon itself was great the X factor was small village market stop and the picnic by river Charyn. Hakim had 4 year degree in Travel and Tourism and taking to him was like talking to very knowledgeable Qazaq friend. We chatted about places to visit, history, culture, democracy and also our families. The cherry on top was his dining recommendation at Navat. Overall this tour is tempting us to come back for other tours and more conversations during the summer.

Highly recommended! 👌🏼 - Our full-day guided tour to Charyn Canyon was an unforgettable experience! The private car provided convenience and comfort throughout the journey. The highlight of the tour was the breathtaking lunch spot with panoramic views of the canyon – a true feast for the eyes and taste buds. But what truly made this trip exceptional was our guide, Dimitrij. His in-depth knowledge, friendly demeanor, and passion for the region enriched our adventure. He shared fascinating insights about the canyon and its history, making the day even more memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.

Amazing tour! - We did the charyn canyon tour and all we can say: it was fantastic! First of all, a big compliment to the organization! Our tour guide was Evgeni and he was great. He picked us up and provided us with interesting facts about the landscape and the world in general while we were driving. So the time passed very quickly. Arrived at the canyon, we could marvel at the fantastic nature and Evgeni showed us the best spots. He was very helpful throughout the tour and you could tell he loves his job. It is the perfect day trip to explore the nature of Kazakhstan. Highly recommended!!

Stunning view - The whole experiece exceeded my expectations. The way back though is quite a challenge. 🤣 I had the mistake of wearing 3 layers at a temperture of 25 or 27°C or probably 30 °C (as per how i felt 😁). It was the best activity to end my trip 👍. By the way, i was travelling solo but there was a very kind couple who let me join them in the tour. Shout out to them! Thank you 🙏

Awesome, comfortable, best value for money - We took a private one-day tour to Charyn Canyon and Bartogay Lake with Dmitry as a guide. It was a definitely awesome experience. First, the places that we saw were breathtakingly beautiful. Second, Dmitry is a great person, very polite, and made this trip exceptionally comfortable. It’s certainly worth it to take this tour at Kolsai Tour!

Amazing Day at Charyn Canyon. - Our private day tour with Andrei was very enjoyable: Andrei picked up us at our hotel on time, in his comfortable air conditioned ATV. On the way to the canyon we stopped at a beautiful reservoir for Fresh-made coffee, and at a Uighur town. The canyon was spectacular, the 2 hour hike not too difficult. After the hike, we had a lovely picnic lunch by the river, which included fried cheese and a chilled local white wine, Fresh baked local bread, Plov, and strawberries - all provided by our gracious host. I highly recommend this wonderful day out.

Canyons trip - Had a wonderful time with a well organized tour to a very secluded canyon that most tourists do not get to see! The length of the tour was perfect and the food was quite tasty!
