I would definitely recommend Friendly Tours! Easy to arrange and they picked us up/dropped us off where we were staying. My brother and I did the extended Charyn Canyon tour which included Moon Valley which was absolutely stunning (and nobody there!!!). Lunch was gorgeous (as was the homemade cake provided by our driver's mum!) Our driver and guide were incredibly knowledgeable. You are in safe hands with these guys. Thanks Friendly Tours! 🙂
