It was such a perfect tour that I had absolutely no regrets. The guide made the whole tour enjoyable, and I loved meeting friends from various countries in an unfamiliar place!

아침 4시 출발해서 밤 9시경 도착합니다.
이동시간이 상당해서 일정짜실때 참고하세요
코스는 나쁘지않았지만 날씨가 아쉬웠습니다

It wasn't easy since the schedule started early in the morning, but it was very efficient to be able to visit three places in one day. The guide was also very kind and helpful, which was great. It was convenient that the itinerary included stops at rest areas and was timed for meals. Since I could charge my phone in the car, I was able to take as many photos as I wanted without worrying about battery life! I highly recommend this tour to travelers visiting Kazakhstan!!

The best tour! Visiting three places in one day is actually quite challenging, but it was a very satisfying tour!!! Kazakhstan's natural scenery is worth seeing even in winter. It has a unique winter feel. The price is more reasonable than other tours, and the owner of the Korean restaurant said that it was a really good deal for that price.

Even though you are in a minibus, all of the minibuses and coaches travel in convoy so you are effectively 1 big group. There was still only 1 guide for 100+ people. This is not enough and meant that he was overworked. We had to wait for him when arriving at stops and before leaving stops and he was the person handing out food at the lunch stop. 1 guide is not enough. The company should employ more guides and each individual minibus should be individually guided and this would improve time efficiency. The canyon was amazing! I wish we could’ve stayed longer to see the top and bottom. I don’t think 1.5 hours here is enough, but 1.5 hours at Kolsai is too long. I would change it to 2 hours at the canyon (to see both views) and 1 hour at Kolsai. The food was provided a poor quality and the plov arrived cold! The lady overcharged us compared to what was shown on the menu by the guide. Kaindy lake is beautiful and definitely the better of the 2 lakes.

It was a nice trip and well organised! (: And we got to see a lot! But it is a total of 700km you spend on the street so its a loooong ride (the busdriver has a fast tempo on winding roads tbh 😅) Also raincots (as mentioned) were not provided as it started raining at Kolsai Lake! - we could buy ones there ourselfs - so that was no problem! Would have appreciated more infos about the country etc from ours guide - he was very nice though and comunicated the schedule very well (:

チャリン渓谷、ブラックキャニオン、コルサイ湖、カインディ湖を1日で巡る、とても充実したツアーでした。 朝4時30分集合、アルマトイに戻ったのは21時30分頃で約17時間の長いツアーでしたが、移動中は車内で眠ることもでき、思っていたほど疲れませんでした。大型バスではなくメルセデスの車で移動したため、長距離でも比較的快適だったと思います。 チャリン渓谷では約1時間半、ブラックキャニオンでは短時間の写真ストップ、コルサイ湖では昼食と散策を含めて約2時間ありました。それぞれ景色が違うので、一度にいろいろな自然を見ることができるのがこのツアーの大きな魅力です。 ツアー中のトイレ事情については、チャリン渓谷のトイレが特にきれいでした。洋式で清潔だったので、トイレをしっかり済ませておきたい方は、ここで利用しておくと安心だと思います。長時間のツアーなので、こうした情報も知っておくと便利です。 特に印象に残ったのはカインディ湖でした。当日は雨でしたが、紅葉した森と青緑色の湖、水の中から立つ木々の景色がとても美しく、この日訪れた場所の中では個人的に一番好きでした。湖までは徒歩でも行けますが、雨だったので有料の車を利用しました。 途中でスーパーに立ち寄り、朝食やコーヒーを買える時間があったのも助かりました。ここではクレジットカードを使えましたが、観光地ではカードが使えず、現金が必要になる場面が多かったです。飲み物やトイレ、有料の移動手段などで現金を使う可能性があるので、事前にある程度カザフスタン・テンゲを用意しておくことをおすすめします。 一方で、朝の集合場所では参加者が多いのに対してスタッフが少なく、最初はどの車に乗るのかなどの案内がほとんどなかったため、少し戸惑いました。この点がもう少し分かりやすくなると、さらに安心して参加できると思います。 移動距離はかなり長いですが、チャリン渓谷、コルサイ湖、カインディ湖を1日で効率よく見たい人には、とても満足度の高いツアーだと思います。

Περιελάμβανε πολλά αξιοθέατα σε μια ημέρα! Η ξεναγός πολύ ευχάριστη και με θετική ενέργεια

アルマトイ観光するなら素晴らしい選択です。 長時間で移動距離もすごいですが、この価格でこれだけの観光地を一気に回るのは最高です。 ガイドのカリーナ(Karina)さんはフレンドリーで軽やかで本当に素晴らしい女性でした。 運転手の方も長時間にもかかわらず疲れを見せずにタフですごいです。 以下ツアーに参加する際のコツ ・4:30集合ですが、それより少し早く着いていると良いです。バスの席は早い者勝ちなので、とにかく早くガイドに参加の旨を伝えてバスに乗り込み確保してください。以後、ツアーの最後まで同じ座席となります。特に後ろ向きで座る座席も存在するので注意です。 ・ツアーの大半はバス移動ですし長時間で揺れまくる車内です。乗り物に強い人以外は酔い止めを飲んでおいてください。 ・基本的にインターネットが繋がらない場所に行きます。オフラインでも大丈夫な準備と、長時間のバス移動の為にクッションなどあると良いです。つまり飛行機に乗り込む装備と考えると良いです。 ・朝食の準備はありませんので、出発してすぐに止まるパーキングエリアで購入することが出来ます。事前に必要な飲み物と食べ物を持参しても良いです。 ・昼食は予算がかかりますが、食べたくないなら食べなくても良いです。 ・夕食を食べる時間は用意されていないので帰りのバスの中で食べるか、ツアー終了後となります。 ・トイレ休憩は何度かありますが一時間半程度は空きます。またトイレも少数で中にはただの木の箱もあります。衛生グッズは持参したほうが良いです。 各観光地にはちゃんとトイレがあるので大丈夫ですが、有料なので小銭を準備してください。 ・馬に乗るのはある程度心構えをして下さい。素人が野生に接するということがどういうことかよく理解してください。汚れますし。 以上を参考にして楽しんでください!一人参加も多いです!
