Charyn Canyon - a Place where time stood still...

Nur was a great & knowledgeble travel guide , keen to share information regarding history, geography .also very helpful & willing to understand need of fellow travellers. Also good comfortable driving. Good to have Nur as a tour guide

We had the best experience on this tour with Dimash. He gave us the best possible experience with his hospitality and service mindset. He was accommodating and we could stop along the way to get snacks for our kid and find toilets when we needed. He was very knowledgeable and provided excellent information. Dimash knew all the best tips for the tour to ensure we were productive and efficient with time. He also taught us how to optmize the route to get the best views and experience. Dimash is the absolute best tour guide you can have!

We had a great experience doing this tour with Nursultan, our guide for the days in Almaty. The Charyn Canyon is a very beautiful and huge place, a little bit far from Almaty, but perfectly suitable for a day trip. I was with my wife and kids (7 and 3 years old) and we do recommend it! Don't forget to take your flip-flops and swimsuits, because the water is very inviting in the end of the track.

Bring enough water. The trip to the canyon takes a certain amount of time. It was good that we had a private tour and did not have to squeeze into a Japanese minibus. These are made full on the cheaper tours. We wanted to do the tour with Pandatravel in a Mercedes Sprinter. The tour was overbooked. People who had paid less were packed into the good buses. Absolute chaos. Everything worked great here. Our guide was unfortunately a bit late, but he made up for it with the tour.

The canyon itself is a beautiful spot. The guide was great, well prepared and knowledgeable and made the drive back and forth interesting with commentary and stops along the way. There is a bit of walking and stairs involved at one point.

Had a blast at Charyn Canyon! The landscape was epic and my guide Nur was super nice and professional. We spent a good 5 hours in the national park and pretty much hit all the viewing spots. Nur also brought water, fruit and tea so we had a nice picnic by the river. Amazing experience that I’d definitely recommend to anyone!

Great day in large part due to Nur who arranged the whole day around our wishes and was patient and kind through out. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you.

This was a lovely and relaxing one day road trip. Nursultan is an excellent host and comfortable driver who literally went the extra mile to help me locate loca playing cards as a souvenir. The canyon is an excellent place to visit and is a gentle but long stroll with fantastic views.

Nursultan is an awesome guide, group leader and person. With excellent English and local knowledge he went the extra mile for us again and again. I cannot recommend his tours enough.

Excellent Tour. My wife and I really enjoyed the tour as well as the city, Almaty and overall Kazakhstan people. They are very hospitable people, friendly and always ready to help. Our tour guide, Mr. Nur is an excellent guide, very professional, knew his stuff really well. He speak English fluently too made the trip to Charyn Canyon very enjoyable. Three of us had a lot of laugh during our trip. We really recommend supporting Mr, Nur and his partner, two young native entrepreneur of Kazakhstan to be develop into strong company. ALL THE BEST.
