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!!

Travel with taste!
Want to get on an exciting journey?! Then you definitely to the loving guide Andrew! Andrei will expertly arrive at the exact time and in the future take your time, but on time, guide you on your unforgettable journey! Surround you with care, warmth, comfort, safety and of course aesthetics! Take you to places that the average tourist doesn't know about, time will fly by discreetly, but informatively) On time you will be drunk with delicious tea and coffee, and fed freshly prepared in nature meat or fish steaks (all depends on your preferences, because the super-guide will take into account your taste!) Take a brave trip with Andrew and enjoy every moment!

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 🙏

Ideally, the other words are superfluous :)
Were on March 1 in the canyon, accompanied by Andrew. Thank you so much for the incredible level of comfort and service, individual approach and just unforgettable emotions :) From the morning kick-off to the evening return home, everything was perfect. I recommend that everyone who cares about a relaxed and contemplative vacation diluted by "physical education" in the canyon.

Charyk Canyon Tour
We were on a one-day tour of Charyk Canyon. Great route, great picnic, incredible places and views. Everything is at a very comfortable pace. The jewel of the tour is a picnic - all delicious, aesthetic. Highly recommended. Thank you very much to guide Andrew, who arranged this trip for us.

Spectacular place
Great nature experience. There is a long staircase that leads you down the canyon. If you are poor to Ben's it is possible to be transported in a very uncomfortable car.
