Our stay in Kazakhstan lasted 8 days from 11 to 18 August. All our excursions in the form of individual tours were organized and conducted by super professional Gulzat. Knows all about his country, history, traditions, the most picturesque natural places. Together with Gulzat, we plunged into the unearthly beauty of lakes, mountains, learned a lot about the ethnic traditions of the people of the country, tasted local dishes, participated in master classes.We got an unforgettable experience!! Hopefully come back here again. I also want to say a special thank you to our driver Beric, who complemented our trip with a sparkling sense of humor and a sensitivity to tourists!
Aj our guide was super helpful, overall great experience,,, highly reccomend. The driver was also great and on time...
We're happy to hear that you had a smooth and enjoyable experience on the Issyk Lake tour. AJ will be especially glad to know you appreciated his knowledge and support. We’ll also pass your thanks on to the driver. It means a lot to us that you recommend the tour, and we hope to see you again on your next adventure!

The location is absolutely breathtaking - a peaceful paradise surrounded by beautiful green waters. This trip exceeded all expectations and was definitely worth every cent. The natural beauty of this unique place creates an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene escape in nature!
Dear Mario! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience and enjoyed both the journey and the destination. Nature truly is the best. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again someday!
Discovering Issyk Lake with our tour guide Elnar was an exceptional experience. Throughout the trip, Elnar's friendly demeanor and personalized approach tailored the experience to our interests, making every moment enjoyable. Our vehicle was comfortable as well and our driver was friendly. I would highly recommend Kazia Tour to anyone seeking an enriching adventure at Issyk Lake.
Dear Anupam, Thank you for taking the time to write this kind comment and for the photos you attached! We are very pleased that we could make your tour comfortable and interesting. It is a great pleasure for us. Elnar also sends his regards.
I am really satisfied with the service. On the day of the trip the lady manager came to my hotel to make sure everything was ok and then introduced me to the guide and driver. I quickly became friends with Dias. He is a very knowledgeable guy. He always makes sure that I was ok and satisfied. We had a full day tour together.
Dear Elvin, Thank you for your great review! We’re delighted to hear you were satisfied with our service. It's wonderful that you quickly became friends with Dias and enjoyed your full-day tour. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to serving you again. Best regards, The Kazia Tour Team

Thank you for your kind review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your experience. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and helps us improve our services.
I was in contact with Gulzat to choose some day trips outside of Astana with my toddler son. She recommended going fishing. The amazing driver arrived picked us up on time and drove us to the destination. We had an enjoyable couple of hours and my son loved fishing for his first time. We did a 2nd outing with Kazia tour and had another great time and she even met us in the morning at pick up time. Gulzat was responsive and friendly and would absolutely use her company again next time we visit.
Dear Lee, I read your wonderful and kind review and forgot to reply at once .Thank you so much for taking the time to write it in detail. We are very glad that you and your son enjoyed traveling with us, and I’m happy that the fishing tour suited him so well. I wish you many more beautiful journeys together. Best regards,
Best part about our trip was our guide - Yelnar. It’s commendable to see how such a young kid is such a good tourist guide. He explained us everything that was required. I realize post this trip how important a tour guide is especially in a place where local language skills along with English is really important. To add the place was beautiful and heavenly. One of the best day trips I have been to
Thank you so much, Tarun, for your kind words about our guide! For him and for us your praise is very important. It motivates to be the best of the best. You are welcome to our tours with your friends anytime! Regards from Yelnar.
If you want your visit in Almaty to be remarkable and phenomenal, have Gulzat as your local guide! She’s exceptional and will go above and beyond to make sure you’ll see the best of Almaty!
Thank you so much, Sanny! I'm so happy that you visited us and loved our country! You are a great person who can teach a lot to others! It was interesting to travel with your team!:) Good luck, guys!
