I would say I am glad to find this trip. The total of duration is reasonable and we got to see what we wanted to see which is the Kolsai and Kaindy Lake. I would love to see more parts of the Charyn Canyon but considering the amount of travelling, I think visiting 2 places is enough in a day. The price point is lower than the other providers which I really like about it but that also came with the quality of transportation. I wish there was at least a cup holder and/or a proper pocket at the seat. I had to hold my cup between my thighs at one point. Staff was nice. They managed everything smoothly though there were a lot of people in a group.
this is a big join in tour but the guid is cery well organized, friendly. we are small amounts of foreigners a little challenging for the language barrier but the tour is very fun with locals
An unforgettable experience. Max our tour guide was great! He gave us all the options and was very respectful and fun! The sights we went to were taken straight from paintings
This is definitely worth it. It was advertised as a tour of the two lakes, but it actually included a canyon as well. Along the way, they also added stops at Black Canyon and a short visit to another valley, meaning we got to see everything we wanted at a low price. We got back to the downtown area around 9:00 PM, which wasn't too late. The pickup point is very easy to find with many tour buses parked there. I arrived right at the deadline, but the tour guide had a great attitude and was very nice. Overall, I felt the sightseeing time was quite sufficient; honestly, you don't need to linger too long anyway. Thumbs up! 👍 Oh, by the way, the address they provided was slightly different from the letters shown on the map, but you can trust the map address without a doubt.
The guide and the driver were both very kind and wonderful. Although the explanations were in Kazakh and English so we couldn't understand everything, it was easy enough to follow along. The vehicle provided was a Toyota slightly larger than a Starex; there were 13 tourists and we traveled without any empty seats, but the legroom between the front and back was too cramped, which was difficult. For lunch, we were taken to a designated restaurant (since it was in a remote area, there were no other restaurants around), and at about 10,000 won per bowl, the food was disappointing for the price, causing many to skip it and eat the snacks they brought instead. In particular, the driver was so thoughtful, turning on the heater when we were cold and the air conditioning when we were hot at just the right times, which was touching. Be sure to prepare cash; riding the Furgon at Kaindy cost only 100 per person (riding a horse costs 8,000 tenge per person), and meals cost only 3,500 per person. Your shoes and clothes will get ruined after horseback riding, so I recommend bringing wet wipes. Thank you for your hard work, guide! ^^
