Hard to find words describing how beautiful are these places: Charyn Canyon “Valley of the Castles”, and Moon (Yellow) Canyon. I went there during winter with a very professional guide from KazGuideTour, and everything was absolutely perfect: no crowd, no heat, beautiful sun, nice layer of snow on the rock, and wonderful undisturbed wildlife!

The tour was great.I was able to hike and see the different kinds of landscape. The guide is knowledgeable with the area and they are taking me to some beautiful spots of the destination itself and show me around where to get the best view. I came in a not so good weather condition, knowing the unusual terrain it becomes doubly hard to navigate those rough roads with frozen ice but the driver's skills is very good and it made one of those memorable adventure.

This tour was great! Chingiz and Askhat arranged for to take our whole family (6 adults and 2 kids) up to big Almaty Lake and to the falcon show. We also stopped for lunch on the trip up to the Lake. The location they selected was fantastic! Great food and wonderful conversation. Both our tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. The falcon show was wonderful and Chingiz made sure we all sat in the best spot in the bleachers, The grandkids loved the falcon show. Chingiz also took us on a tour of the falcon show facilities so we were able to see the birds and Kazakh dogs up close. We highly recommend Explore Kazakhstan!
