2 dagars tur till Kolsai Kaindy Lakes och Charyn Canyon

​I joined the "2-Day Kolsai–Kaindy–Charyn Tour Morning Departure" by Joinme Tour. I paid an extra fee to book the "Comfort Package — $85 (Guest house: 2-3 per room, private shower/toilet)", but the shower and toilet were shared with other guests. When I reported this to the guide, they just said, "This is a small village, so sharing is normal." Despite promising a private shower/toilet on their booking page, there was not even an apology. Their tour description is false, and this company is completely untrustworthy.

I had an amazing experience on this 2 day tour with Joinme. Everything was well organized, the itinerary was great, and we visited beautiful places while learning a lot about the region. A special thank you to our guide, Dilnaz, who made the trip even more enjoyable. She was incredibly kind, professional, and always willing to help. She made sure everyone felt comfortable, answered all our questions with a smile, and went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. If you’re looking for a well-organized tour with an excellent guide, I highly recommend this 2-day trip with Joinme. Thank you, Dilnaz, for making it such a wonderful experience!

Absolutely worthy of this money, the guide Aya is helpful, considerate, playful and responsive, meal and stay are good, camp fire is unforgettable, the only one thing that I feel bad about is the bus we use was very hot and dirty, you can imagine it was 3x degree for 4-5 hours, that’s the thing also unforgettable, even though Aya has tried her best to change another one but still the same

We had an amazing experience with Abu and Shamil. Abu was an excellent tour guide—very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. Shamil was a professional and safe driver who made our journey comfortable and stress-free. Everything was well organized, and we truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. Highly recommended!

We had a great time! Our guide Abu was constantly upbeat and really informative. Our tour was $64 usd each which for the price we originally weren't sure about the quality of the tour, however it was well organised and the homestay was really nice along with the food too. The tour group was very big (40 people) which normally we would opt for a smaller group size but it was nice getting to know so many different people from different cultures and backgrounds. Would really reccomend this tour.

> Although this tour was the cheapest option, the overall experience was very disappointing. The meals were terrible, with very little food provided. Many guests ended up going hungry because there was almost nothing to eat. The guest house accommodation was also poor. Meanwhile, my friend paid a bit more with another company and received a yurt stay along with a traditional feast for dinner. If you're planning to visit, I would recommend spending a little extra to experience authentic local food and more comfortable accommodation. The tour guide was not helpful at all. We raised concerns about the accommodation, but over the course of two days she showed no concern for our complaints. On top of that, she was often rude and unfriendly. > Overall, the low price did not make up for the poor food, inadequate accommodation, and lack of customer care.

Very nicely organised tour. I think this one offered best price for 2 days and I can recommend it. The bus was full, approx. 50 people. We were divided into different guesthouses in Saty, the food was the same in each of them and it was veeery tasty. Manti, plov... really good. We had just enough time at every atraction. I recommend taking a rowing boat at lake Kolsai when you are with friends, it is so much fun. We also did a horse riding at lake Kaindy. We asked to ride horses on our own, not in a group and the locals agreed and gave them to us. Amazing experience. PS. Seat in the front because sometimes AC did not work that strong and at the backseats is like sauna.

We had a wonderful experience on our private tour organized by Makhabbat. Our guide, Zhuldyz (“Star”), and our driver, Bereke, were outstanding during our “Two Lakes and Canyon” trip in the Almaty region. Both were highly professional, well-organized, and excellent communicators throughout the journey. Zhuldyz thoughtfully informed the hosts about my food allergies in advance, which made everything much easier and more comfortable for us. They were also very accommodating whenever we wanted to stop along the way to take photos of animals and the beautiful scenery. Their flexibility, attentiveness, and warm hospitality made the entire trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommended!

Firstly, all kudos to Aya! She was our tour guide for multiple lakes and canyons, and she was incredibly well-organized, energetic, and enthusiastic throughout the trip. She made our Kazakhstan journey truly memorable by covering such a variety of terrains and beautiful locations within a short span of time — it really felt like great value for the experience we received. What stood out most was how she went beyond her responsibilities to help tourists and ensure families had nothing to worry about during the trip. Her support, positivity, and dedication made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend the 2-night trip covering Kaindy Lake, Kolsai Lake, and the different canyons for families planning to visit Almaty. Once again, thank you very much, and a very special thanks to Aya for making this trip unforgettable! Note: Follow the exact tour instructions, All goes smoothly.

It was a great trip. Our guide, Aya, was a great fun person. The tour and the guesthouse we stayed in were all very satisfying.
