Found this guys just before arriving in Kazachstan and it was an excellent choice! Everything went just fine! My guide Vlad is such an awesome guy. I really appreciated his company, his knowledge, what else I can say, totally recommend this trip for anyone, especially for solo travellers!

When I decided to go back to Almaty after my trip in 2022, I directly contacted Max, because he was an amazing guide on last year. In Sept 2023, we made a 4-days tour in Altyn-Emel and Tuzkol Lake, and it was an incredible tour! Max is a very professional guide, with a deep knowledge of the sites he visits with you, able to provide a lot of interesting info about them. He also knows extremely well the region and can therefore propose breathtaking visits of hidden sites, far from touristic ones. He was considerate, courteous and as a woman travelling alone, I felt completely secured with him. He clearly meets the highest standards, and I strongly recommend him (also for mountains sports he is so passionate about!)

Great experience and adventure in the beautiful kazakhs' mountains. Great crew taking care of the level of the group, the snow conditions and the motivation. I recommend to travel with them it was perfect to visit the country and do the sport that we love. Bisous

3-day-ski-touring, Shymbulak and Butaksuka-Valley. Very good contact with Max, excellent guiding by Dima, perfect English, no complaints from my side, reasonable price. I would book again.

I went to ridder camp twice in december 2022 and march 2023. Best trip, great snow, excellent guides. Houses with all amenities. Julia you are the best, thank you!

Great trip with a great group of people. A fantastic chance to ski a very out the way place. Warm and comfortable accommodation.

I have been ski touring with Frozen Rocks company in Ridder back in December 2022. The trip was well organized with respect to accommodation, logistics and food supply. For 3 days in a row we were ski-touring at different locations every day. So the intensity was varying. Good to have a good company aside along with professional guides/instructors. A great bonus was to finish a hard work day in a sauna well prepared by a accommodations holds!

The people are great, beautiful mountains, great food. Cool to discover a piece of Kazakhstan. So much more to see. Thank you Julia and all the team. Peter Rabbit on the roof.

Just returned from a week in this lovely area. Warm welcome, impeccable services. Very good skiing conditions. Julia organized the logistics beautifully and was very available to tell us about this very beautiful country.

Excellent guides, they selected routes where there were no traces other than ours, they also selected the difficulty for the group. We lived in very comfortable conditions, excellent hearty meals for breakfast and dinner. Also in the house where we lived there is Internet. Upon arrival in Ust-Kamenogorsk, we were met at the airport and taken to the base in Ridder There was an opportunity for two days of ski touring and one day of cat skiing

I had the privilege to spend a week ski-touring with Julia at the East Pole base near Ridder, and I highly recommend both the experience and Julia's organization of it. The snow is as deep and powdery as you can wish, and there is just the right density of trees in the surrounding fir and birch forests to have fun slaloming around them. East Pole was very comfortable, with excellent and abundant food. Enjoying a daily banya before dinner was also memorable. Two thumbs up !

Our one week trip to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan was well organized, based on our time and interests. Max was our guide for the week , he did everything possible to make sure we are comfortable, and making the most of our tour. We saw some major attractions, did some adventures like hiking in Kolsay lakes. He knew the place and led us well. I highly recommend going on this tour with Max s Thank you for all the good times , Max.

We had great experience 2 days tour to Kolsay Lake and Canyons with Max. 3 hrs drive from Almaty,with comfortable SUV and you are in place with Spectacular views of Kolsay lake, easy trekking routes guided by knowledgeable guide Max. (Great benefit of his fluent English) Good organisation of guest House and local food by host Jelduz. Second day we were astonished by valley of Canyons. Feels like another world on Earth. Ps. For new hikers like us, do choose proper shoe for long walks with good grip.

2-days tour in the Almaty canyons with Maxim. He is a top-level guide, helpful, respectful, providing a lot of very interesting information. He knows very, very well his region, shew me some breathtaking places, pointed animals I had not seen, and was able to reply to all my questions on history, geography, cultures etc. His professionalism is obvious and as a woman travelling alone, I felt very well with him: he respected my walking rythm (slow, with pauses, due to the heat), gave me advise on how to better breath, on food,…, and even helped me to find a taxi in a remote place. My only regret is not being able to go with him in high mountains areas: he is clearly passionated by climbing, hiking and skiing, and his comments are so interesting, and his passion so contagious! I preciously keep his contact details for a futur trip to Kazakhstan, and warmly recommend him to anyone wishing an unforgettable trip near Almaty! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all these memories Maxim!

Had a fun time on this trip. Max kept everything running smoothly. He knows his way around the park and showed us some cool stuff. Thanks, Max!
