Practically we paid USD 85 for someone to pick us up from the hotel and drive to the entrance where the big Almaty lake is. The driver then dropped us there and booked another private car (for another extra USD 60) to drive us up to the lake (15 mins) And we spent 30 mins like some dumb tourists by the road side taking some pictures before being fetched back to the entrance. This is not a TOUR - a total rip off. So there were 4 of us, each paying USD 100 for a drive and a roadside photo session. DO NOT book this tour! Just take a Yandex or something, easier and much cheaper to go on your own.

How do it rate when money was taken from me before the trip the operator denied my seat stating that seats are fully occupied. No am struggling to get the refund.

The big Almaty lake experience was very beautiful with Dimitri… He arranged for our local car up to the lake so we could avoid the trek. But trek is difficult in winters and they don’t allow I would recommend you go through Dimitri if you wish to see the lake…. The views are breathtaking and worth visiting… Dimitri was very nice guy he told us the history of big Almaty lake also clicked some nice pictures 😊 will definitely recommend him

This mountain site is definetely the most impressing direction throughout Almaty surroundings. Tons of snow and fascinating alpine views! We had a lot of fun with our guide Dmitry. Wanna see the lake in other sesons again.
Totally recommended.

I definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Almaty! Dimitri is very knowledgeable about the Big Almaty Lake, the mountains and the city. If he doesn't know he will try to find out. As well as being knowledgeable he is beyond friendly and makes good conversation without a dull moment through the trip.

We loved the tour! The tour guide Dmitry was very friendly and told us a lot of interesting stories and facts about the Big Almaty Lake, its surroundings and the city of Almaty. The atmosphere was cheerful and we had lots of fun. The (quite challenging) and long hike was absolutely worth the view of the lake!
I would just warn the future tourists who opt for this tour: the tour guide wrote in the description that the the difficulty of the hike is "above average". Me and my friends are quite fit but the hike uphill was quite exhausting at times. But in general, we are satisfied!

An astonishingly beautiful lake and surrounding scenery -- not to be missed!
It must also be mentioned that the hike to get there is at least equally as exciting as the lake itself -- while it is not easy it will be one of the most memorable, surprising, and rewarding hikes of your life :)
Dimitri is very friendly and pleasant to converse with about any topic -- the lake, life in Kazakhstan, and much more. Would wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with him!
