Our trip to Almaty
I really enjoyed this trip that I took with Kolsai tours in Kazakhstan with my family. Andrey was very meticulous in the planning and kept my mother into consideration. The itinerary was just right for all of us to experience the best sights without it becoming exhausting. I traveled with my young daughter and not so young mother. He added little elements like picnics and easy walks to the itinerary, which made it more memorable for my family. We had a great time. As a hotelier, I always judge people on how they manage a service recovery when the customer is unhappy with something. We had a little issue with our homestay on day 2 but Andrey promptly addressed it and checked on us that we're happy and comfortable. That impressed me. Although, I made my plans only two days before arriving at Almaty, Andrey made sure that everything was organised. I highly recommend Kolsai tours and would gladly plan my next tour with them.

Highly recommended for Kazakstan Travel.
It has been a Fantastic under 6 days Almaty and Kyrgyzstan Big Aventures! Andrey is thoroughly thoughtful in our accommodations planning, touristy places with uncommon visits or stopovers for our Drone aerial shots and amazing scenery family shots. He is also a very Careful and Safe Driver throughout our journey. Kolsaitour is highly recommended to all nationalities as Andrey is fluent in English, Russian and of course Kazak! Thank you Kolsaitour for making our Travel a most memorable one of all time!
Response from the operator: We're so glad you enjoyed our private tour in Kyrgyzstan. We do high-quality private tours – like reunions with old friends. We look forward to seeing you on our tour of Kazakhstan.

Lovely Kazakstan experience with Kolsai Tour
Highly recommend Kolsai Tour for trips in Kazakhstan. We had the pleasure of doing their 4 day golden loop around Almaty, organised by Andrey with Kirill as a guide, and it was a true pleasure. They are responsive, helpful and go out of their way to accomodate requests. Kirill was friendly, polite, knowledgeable and has great musical taste (a big plus when driving 1200 kms!). Kirill drove safely the entire way and his car was clean, comfortable and good for off road in national parks. The guesthouses they took us to were also clean and comfortable, and the local Kazakh food was yummy. Would definitely repeat if i come back to Kazakhstan! One piece of advice - the 4 day tour includes long driving days (its Kazakhstan, distances are long!). If you have time the 5 day loop has less driving each day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, we're happy to providea fantastic SUV tour for you. We're so glad you were satisfied. We look forward to seeing you on the next tour

Best Four Day Private Tour in Almaty!
My husband and I visited Kazakhstan in early October, 2025. I fly for the airlines so everything we do is usually booked last minute since we fly standby. We wanted to visit Kazakhstan for our 10 year anniversary trip and ended up flying into Almaty early in the morning on a Wednesday. Once we got settled in our hotel we looked up tour companies online and reached out to a few, including Kolsai Tour. Their tour encompassed many of the things we wanted to see so I reached out on WhatsApp to see if they had availability for their four day tour that same Friday ( in two days). Andrey responded very quickly that he did have availability, sent a link to his company website. After some inquiries about pricing we ended up booking the four day tour. Two of the main deciding factors were how friendly and communicative Andrey was (He answered my extensive questions and was extremely knowledgeable and kind) and that he allowed us to use PayPal to book the tour vs the other companies that required cash payment. We didn’t come with that much cash in hand and would not have been able to withdraw the required amount through atm in two days and none of the other companies accepted credit cards. He sent us the name of our driver who also communicated through WhatsApp. I reached out to the driver, who introduced himself as Baha and reached an agreed upon time for that Friday morning. Baha picked us up at the confirmed time in his SUV and we started our adventure! During the four days we visited: Day 1: Altyn Emel National park and hiked the mountains and stayed in a quaint guest house. Dinner and breakfast were hearty and filling. Day2: Hiked up the singing sand dunes, hiked tiger mountain, and visited a gorgeous Chinese mosque. We had lunch at a cute restaurant and Baha did a great job ordering for the table! We very much enjoyed getting a taste of Kazakhstan here. We stayed at a hot springs hotel which was much needed after two big days of hiking. Dinner and breakfast here were also very good! Day 3: Visited and hiked the backside of Charyn Canyon, and hiked along the moon canyon. Baha prepared a delicious picnic for us alongside a river which was very peaceful and we had dinner at the A-frame cabin we stayed at that evening. The family that owns them prepared it and again, everything was home cooked and so good! Day 4: We started our day with a horseback ride to Lake Kaindy, then headed to Kolsai Lake, the black canyon, and finally the front side of Charyn Canyon before being driven back to Almaty to our hotel. We had breakfast and lunch at the A-frame cabin guest house. I cannot say enough good things about our guide Baha. He was extremely knowledgeable about every site we visited and was very easy to communicate with. It was so fun getting to know about him and the culture of Kazakhstan. He was a phenomenal driver and even offered to use his personal drone for pictures and video for a small extra fee. We agreed and the pictures and videos were well worth the money. He even put together and edited a compilation of our time together a few days after our tour ended which was beautiful. All in all we loved our time on the tour and would highly recommend it to all my friends and family. It was money well spent and I feel like we got to see everything the area had to offer in a private setting. We walked a ton so we would definitely recommend some good hiking shoes vs regular tennis shoes. It was nice to be able to spend as little or as much time at each site as we wanted and despite hiking miles every day we were never hungry. We were so well fed during the trip and felt so welcomed by everyone we encountered. If you’re thinking about booking a tour in Almaty definitely choose Kolsai Tour with Andrey and ask for Baha as your tour guide and driver!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed our work and had a great experience with us.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Private SUV Tour from Almaty - The most beautiful Sights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Almaty.
How much does 4-Day Private SUV Tour from Almaty - The most beautiful Sights cost?
+
Prices start at $480 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Almaty usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4-Day Private SUV Tour from Almaty - The most beautiful Sights take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Almaty is not rushed.
Is 4-Day Private SUV Tour from Almaty - The most beautiful Sights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Almaty, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4-Day Private SUV Tour from Almaty - The most beautiful Sights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 4-Day Private SUV Tour from Almaty - The most beautiful Sights suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 96-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 4-Day Private SUV Tour from Almaty - The most beautiful Sights?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Almaty can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Almaty and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4-Day Private SUV Tour from Almaty - The most beautiful Sights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Almaty within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Almaty?
+
On Outty we rank every Almaty experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kolsai, Kaindy Lakes and Charyn Canyon Small Group Tour, Kolsai Kaindy Lakes with Charyn Canyons 2-day tour, Small-Group Tour: Kolsai & Kaindy Lakes with Charyn Canyons. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Almaty?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Almaty?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
