We had an amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized and the entire tour ran smoothly. The itinerary was well planned, allowing us to visit some of the most breathtaking places in the Mangystau region in just two days. A special thank you to our guide, Ermek, who was very friendly, patient, and always willing to help. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Kazakhstan. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Unfortunately, I cannot leave a positive review about my experience with Yeldos. After booking and paying for the tour, communication was practically nonexistent. In the weeks before departure, I asked him a few questions, but I received very short and often generic replies, together with messages that clearly seemed standardized and not particularly personalized. Two days before departure, I had to contact him again myself to find out how the pick-up would work, since we were going to stay at a hotel near Aktau Airport. I was simply told that someone would pick us up at 10:00 AM. I then asked whether Yeldos himself would be accompanying us. He replied that he could not because he was ill. This left me quite puzzled because, around the same time, he was posting content on social media while accompanying another group of Asian photographers. However, the most serious issue concerned Starlink. Starlink was clearly included in the tour program I had purchased, and its availability had also been confirmed to me. For me, this was not simply an extra feature for using the Internet while on holiday: when travelling for several days in completely isolated areas, having a connection can also be important for family or personal reasons. Once we arrived, we discovered that our driver/guide did not have Starlink and was not even aware that it was supposed to be included in our tour. Only later did we understand that Yeldos had passed our trip on to another small local agency. Paradoxically, this turned out to be the best part of the experience: the person assigned to us was fantastic. He was kind, helpful, friendly, professional, and even spoke Italian. We got along extremely well with him, and the trip itself was wonderful. However, this does not change my assessment of the service I received from Yeldos. Throughout the entire trip, he never contacted us to ask whether everything was going well, whether we had any problems, or simply whether we were satisfied. No messages, no follow-up, and no assistance whatsoever. In addition, a service that was included in the price and paid for — Starlink — was not provided. Regardless of the fact that it can sometimes be nice to “disconnect” during a trip like this, if a service is sold as included, it should be available. A customer should not have to justify why they need it. In the end, we had a very enjoyable trip thanks mainly to the person who actually accompanied us, but as far as Yeldos is concerned, my experience was characterized by very poor communication, a lack of transparency, a paid service that was not provided, and a complete absence of support during the tour. For these reasons, based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend him.

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed the trip itself and that you were satisfied with our guide Kuandyk. At the same time, I want to clarify a few points, since some of the details in the review do not quite correspond to our correspondence. As for communication: after booking, we stayed in touch. We discussed the route, the drone, the preparations for the trip, the start time of the tour, the transfer and other organizational details. On September 19th, I also informed you that the Kuandyk guide would pick you up the next day and he would contact you. Regarding my absence, I did inform you that I was ill and therefore would not be able to personally accompany the trip. This was due precisely to the state of health. The posts you saw on Instagram at that time were made by my team while working with another group, not by me personally. Therefore, Instagram Stories do not mean that I was personally accompanying another group at that moment. On Starlink, I won't deny the problem. You are correct that Starlink was listed as an enabled service. I ordered the equipment in advance, but its delivery from the USA has been postponed, and it has not yet arrived at the beginning of your trip. I informed you of this as soon as you contacted me during the trip and apologized for the situation. I'm sorry that you couldn't use Starlink in the end. I understand your displeasure, especially considering that the service was announced as part of the tour. The delay in delivery was not planned, but it was really worthwhile for me to inform you in advance of the change in the situation as soon as the delay became known. At the same time, I am glad that despite this problem, the trip itself went well and you positively assessed our guide. Thank you for mentioning his professionalism and attitude towards you. I take your feedback as feedback on organization and communication. In the future, I will pay more attention to ensuring that information about such changes is transmitted in advance to tourists and directly to accompanying guides.

We were very happy to rent Eldos'car to tour Mangystau. Eldos'car was very comfortable and well equipped with everything necessary for camping. It was a very good car to do a self driven tour of the region. Eldos was very responsive and reactive. The pick up and drop off were made perfectly in time. We highly recommand.
