Tatyana

My wife and I decided to go with Tatyana and Roman for a 2 day excursion to Charyn Canyon, and Lakes Kolsai and Kaindy. We chose Tatyana due the fact that she has been involved in tourism for almost a decade. Her experience really shows! Our time with them was the highlight of a very busy 2 week trip. The drive was wonderful, and Roman did his best to help me find beautiful spots for photography and to fly my drone. He was an excellent driver. Tatyana was a wealth of information. She layered so much interesting and useful information. You could tell how long she has been doing this, as every employee at the national parks seemed to know her, as if she was some celebrity. The most valuable thing about Tatyana and Roman is that they know where to find amazing food, which alone is worth it. They told me they choose which guesthouses to go to based on the quality and taste of the food first and foremost, while not compromising on a great atmosphere for the guests. I couldn't have been happier with my experience, and am fortunate to have made 2 good friends along the way.

I actually chose Tatyana among all other tour guides who were quick to respond to my request because she immediately sent me a message that was very detailed. She really has a good command on how to make use of our time efficiently. She was also very accommodating to offer us a detour plan when we couldn't see Big Almaty Lake. Overall, We really enjoyed the company of Tatyana together with her husband, Roman. They were very generous in filling out our curiosity about the life in Kazakh by sharing both Kazakh's history and stories. We felt very welcomed and they really helped us in handling conversations with the locals. They were also very punctual. I would be very happy to recommend them to our friends and even to those who are looking a guide to explore the country. I felt like I found a family in Kazakhstan. They make me want to go back there again. Plus Almaty in itself is naturally stunning!

The perfect trip. Tatyana was friendly, knowledgeable, and arranged everything very quickly. Roman, my guide, was incredibly friendly and patient with me. I saw many beautiful places and ate interesting food. Highly recommended.

Tatyana and Roman were great! Tatyana communicates very well before the trip and gave us a wonderful welcome to Almaty. We spent only a few hours together but she took us to the best sites and gave great us great information about history and culture. I would highly recommend them!

We chose Tatyana because her answer was the most extensive and had the most information in it. It was hard to decide anyway because we got quite a few offers.

In the end we were very happy with our choice.

We had good and easy communication per email.

We were picked up in a very good car, she and the driver Valeri are just super nice people.

The trip turned out to be even more interesting than we had thought. We could visit different places at the Altyn-Emel National park, the singing dune, Charyn Canyon and Kaindy lake.

The home stays were great as well, it gave us a good understanding of the way of live in the country side.

Tatyana helped us with everything. She has a wude knowledge of the history and likes to share her experiences. I really like her as a person as well, she is so nice and helpful. It makes it very easy being together for days.

The driver Valerie also is a great guy with awesome driving skills! There is quite a bit of difficult offroad driving to do and we never felt insecure.

And both were patient with our little extra wishes and extra stopps!

Really, we were so happy with our trip! Well worth the money and I would book them at once again!

Perfect tour!!!!

Tatyana and her husband did an outstanding job. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a good time with them.

My private tour with Roman, Tatyana’s husband and driver/guide, was perfect!

He’s very friendly, knowledgeable and truly makes an effort to fulfill any request!

He’s also great at taking photos and finding nice spots to rest and enjoy the views

Would definitely recommend!!

Everything went smooth with Tatyana. She tried her best to accomodate all our request and was replying very fast for our Almaty tour. She also helped us with our Mangystau trip and managed to find the best guide ever, making our trip memorable !
