Must visit even in winters it’s very beautiful - The big Almaty lake experience was very beautiful with Dimitri… He arranged for our local car up to the lake so we could avoid the trek. But trek is difficult in winters and they don’t allow I would recommend you go through Dimitri if you wish to see the lake…. The views are breathtaking and worth visiting… Dimitri was very nice guy he told us the history of big Almaty lake also clicked some nice pictures 😊 will definitely recommend him

Breathtaking nature views and experienced giude - This mountain site is definetely the most impressing direction throughout Almaty surroundings. Tons of snow and fascinating alpine views! We had a lot of fun with our guide Dmitry. Wanna see the lake in other sesons again.
Totally recommended.

A must go if visiting Almaty - I definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Almaty! Dimitri is very knowledgeable about the Big Almaty Lake, the mountains and the city. If he doesn't know he will try to find out. As well as being knowledgeable he is beyond friendly and makes good conversation without a dull moment through the trip.

A challenging but beautiful hike to the even more beautiful Big Almaty Lake - We loved the tour! The tour guide Dmitry was very friendly and told us a lot of interesting stories and facts about the Big Almaty Lake, its surroundings and the city of Almaty. The atmosphere was cheerful and we had lots of fun. The (quite challenging) and long hike was absolutely worth the view of the lake!
I would just warn the future tourists who opt for this tour: the tour guide wrote in the description that the the difficulty of the hike is "above average". Me and my friends are quite fit but the hike uphill was quite exhausting at times. But in general, we are satisfied!

Extremely memorable :) - An astonishingly beautiful lake and surrounding scenery -- not to be missed!
It must also be mentioned that the hike to get there is at least equally as exciting as the lake itself -- while it is not easy it will be one of the most memorable, surprising, and rewarding hikes of your life :)
Dimitri is very friendly and pleasant to converse with about any topic -- the lake, life in Kazakhstan, and much more. Would wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with him!

Well worth it! - Dimitri was the perfect person to visit the lake with. He is happy to answer all your questions and it was great learning more about the country and region from him. He also knows the best spots to see the lake from. The lake itself was incredible and felt like a different world despite being so close to the city.

Terrible experience as the trip never happened. - How do it rate when money was taken from me before the trip the operator denied my seat stating that seats are fully occupied. No am struggling to get the refund.
