We booked this tour but on the day of our tour, we found out that the admin mistakenly placed us into a day trip instead of a 2 day trip, although the attraction spots were pretty much the same. Aya, the tour guide however was very helpful and responsive. She helped us to rearrange and we went on tour the next day. Assylzhan the new tour guide then brought us around to amazing spots. We have taken plenty of pretty photos. Assylzhan was very friendly and yet professional. He could speak English and we learned a lot from him. We absolutely enjoyed our trip. He is a gem to any travel agencies.

Stunning views and we enjoyed the tour so much especially because our guide is very patient with us and she doesn't pressure us and we just enjoyed the moments together with her as well. It's recommended for people who really loves adventure and thrilling experience as this trip requires physical strength and stamina as you will need to walk many times and it's recommended as well to have a good pair of shoes that is not slippery as some of the trail is slippery due to ice.
