Testimonials

We made an individual round tour based on the program 'Old Kazakhstan and New Kazakhstan'. We want to compliment and thank Assija and Ardjan for the excellent organization. The tour program already looked like it was carefully taken care of, and also in Kazakhstan everything went well. We were always picked up  in time - in train stations even in front of our compartment - and said goodbye.
The various guides were often well educated and knowledgable, and always very friendly, flexible and helpful.
We enjoyed a wonderful, varied tour and we feel we have really experienced Kazakhstan in many ways.

I reassure you that we have really enjoyed our Altai trip. You have fantastic people out there! I am referring to Dima and Michalich (both at the same level of excellence!). These guys would go out of their ways to accommodate any need of their customers, actually you don´t feel as a customer, but as a highly appreciated guest. This is the way of travelling that helps bring people of different cultures together! These two guys will stay in our hearts for ever.
The nature in Altai is really breath-taking ; our walks in pristine forests, along unspoilt rivers, through giant birches (you don´t find these in Europe), down the Markakol route, etc. are also unforgettable.
Also your approach was impeccable, there are not many tour operators as you, I am now referring to your honesty, individual approach and concern for customer. I am no stranger to tourist industry, myself having organised trips for foreigners in my country.

Unforgettable! Is the word I’d use to describe my trip to Kazakhstan. It’s a such beautiful and diverse country with so many interesting traditions and mixed charming population that took my breath away every single moment for two whole weeks. A place were ancient times, modernity, culture and oddity are so interestingly together that anything may happen at anytime. Therefore I really have to thanks and congratulate Kazakhstan Tours and its local partners for their great, impeccable organization in such a "messy" place because the trip was just perfect!
What I really took away from Kazakhstan and what stole my heart is what people gave me without asking nothing to me. Something that I will miss forever, now that I’m back, "home"..
 

Indimenticabile! Questa è la parola che userei per descrivere il mio viaggio in Kazakhstan. Possiede dei paesaggi così diversi con così tante tradizioni interessanti ed un affascinante mix di popoli che mi ha tolto il respiro per tutto il viaggio durante 2 settimane intere. È un posto dove l’antico, il moderno, la cultura ed il bizzarro si abbracciano in modo inaspettatamente interessante che può succedere di tutto in qualsiasi momento. Perciò voglio veramente ringraziare e congratularmi con Kazakhstan Tours ed i suoi partners locali in in Kazakhstan per la sua perfetta ed impeccabile organizzazione in un posto così "incasinato" dato che il viaggio è stato semplicemente perfetto!
Ciò che ho veramente portato via dal Kazakhstan e che ha rubato il mio cuore, è quello che le persone mi hanno dato senza chiedermi niente. Qualcosa che mi mancherà per sempre, ora che sono tornato, a "casa"..

Regarding our trip early October to Kazakhstan I want to thank you in the name of my travel companions and myself for the wonderful tour-offer and excellent organization. Kazakhstan was to us a beautiful experience. Especially the 4-day trip we made was unique. We ended up in a wonderful piece of eartly nature with marvellous mountainous landscapes and endless steppes with horses, sheep, camels, wild donkeys, falcons, gazelles, little snakes, ... The 'Singing Dune' really sang (when you listened very carefully), Charyn Canyon was breathtakingly beautiful and the Kolsai Lakes looked like pictures from a journal on nature.
Also life (and the people) on the countryside was so real, pure. It seemed we lived in another world for four days...
Apart from natural beauty, thanks to our guide Bagdat we learnt a lot about a country we hitherto hardly knew: about Kazakh culture, the old and recent past, old and new politics, normal life,... Bagdat told us. Never boring, always with a touch of humor, really pleasant.
Misha drove us around those four days safely. He was a very good and responsible driver bringing us to all of these special places.

The tour went absolutely fine. Not a single complain about anyone, or it must be that they should have postponed the launch (which took place at 5:00 AM).
Witnessing a rocket launch is a story on its own. I had imagined it beforehand, but reality proved to be completely different. I pictures and filmed everything extensively, and still, whatever I recalled in the days, weeks and even months afterwards are pictures and sounds that cannot be found on any of it.
Noël Sies from The Hague, The Netherlands, about his adventures in Baikanur in July 2010.
 

We were delighted with our guide Vitaliy and driver Zhenya. Very nice and professional people with whom we enjoyed a wonderful week. They understood our interest and did their best every moment to meet our demands. (...) We found Astana very impressive, Karkaralinsk and Karaganda fascinating. The adventurous character of the journeys across the steppe in the fantastic UAZ bus will stay in our memories for a long time! Also visiting the steel factories in Temirtau was impressive.
