Me and my partner had the pleasure of taking a tour with SUVtours. Our guide was Dima and he was very professional with excellent English and good knowledge of the sites. I highly recommend the 16 hour trip to people that cannot spend 2 days to see the Kaindy and Kolsai lakes. This trip combines those with the wonderful Charyn Canyon. The long day was well worth and paid with spectacular views through the day.It was a long, yet awesome trip arranged by Kirill and team.

It was a long, yet awesome trip arranged by Kirill and team. Our guide Michael was professional, informative and accommodating. Charyn canyon, Black Canyon and Kolsay lake was beautiful. Due to adverse weather conditions we did not go to Kaindy Lake. Michael took us to another lake in the vicinity. Both meals were traditional local Kazak cuisine which were delicious! The trip through the villages was great. Beautiful views of the snow capped mountains along the way. It's a long trip so having a safe driver is non-negotiable. SUV tours are recommended.Our group of three had a great day out covering the key nature sights around Almaty including Charyn Canyon, Kaindy and Kolsay lakes.

Kirill is a professional tour guide and very good driver. We're lucky to have him with us that day coz the trip took almost like 14 hours, and the road was not in good condition. He provided us in-depth information of our destination as well as Kazakhstan which are very impressive. He also tried his best to serve our needs such as local food etc. The canyon, and lakes themselves are stunning. The Big Almaty lake tour was good too. I highly recommend this tour.
