Almaty, u stole my heart!

Everything was very well organised from the transportation to the itinerary. The schedule was well balanced giving us enough time at each location to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and simply appreciate the beauty of nature without feeling rushed. Thank you to our guide, Luba. She was absolutely wonderful, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy. She shared interesting facts about every destination, made everyone feel welcome, and was always happy to help whether it was answering questions or taking photos for us. Her enthusiasm and genuine care made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting KZ i highly recommend booking this tour with Panda Tour. And if you have Luba as your guide consider yourself lucky! She truly goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has an unforgettable experience. 🤍

No AC and bus rocks like a boat.

While the tour was good and also the tour guide. The bus had a lot of problems that needs to be fix. You are on the bus at least 10 hours of the trip and it was insanely hot inside as the AC did not work. The windows cannot be opened. The group pics are all from the tour company. The suspension on the bus is horrible. Any uneven pavement the bus will rock like a boat, so if you get motion or car sick do not take. Take another one that’s not panda.

A good trip

I truly had an amazing experience traveling with Panda Travel KZ. The entire trip was comfortable, well-organized, and flexible, which made it even more enjoyable. BUT be careful with the guide named RUSTAM (ig: rustamgrz). He was friendly on the tour toward female tourists then asked them to hang out after the tour and had an inappropriate behavior.

I loved it! I went with a friend but made many other friends along the way, we started around 5am and we were back in the city around 10pm, if you have time I definitely recommend. I'm a British-Cypriot.

Adam the guide!

Experience totally worth it, everything was well taken care of, well explained and the places are absolutely stunning. Definitely recommend Adam as your tour guide, always happy to help and share the experience with us, made everything 10x better! Great Playlists for the rides and even made everyone sing along to Kazakhstan tradicional music! We even got to meet him for a few drinks the next day and had the best time in the city too.
