Almaty city tour

Wonderful! Nina our guide was so knowledgeable and patient. She even picked us up from a more convenient location for us to. We never felt rushed, we were welcome to take our time looking at things. The sites that we visited were great! Really enjoyed our tour.

The tour with Tatiana was five stars. She spoke perfect English. She showed us everything! She was very helpful explaining history and art. I highly recommend her. Remember to make this tour reservation more than 24 hours in advance. Our tour was made 12 hours ahead ,last minute, and they did not get the information therefore our driver did not come at 9 o’clock. But we called the company and they sent one and the tour guide within an hour. It all worked out-we just had to shorten our tour slightly.

I’ve read the other reviews here and realised that those who were lucky to get Dastan as their guide were all very happy. I was elated to receive a text that my tour guide was indeed Dastan. He was very friendly and adaptable. I think the fact that he lived overseas helped him figure out why I asked certain questions; his response perfectly explained what I wanted to know. In fluent English. Highly recommended.

Almaty penfiliv park is an amazing park. Monument and cathedral are superb. It is a must visit place. You can relax here .kaindy lake never miss this amazing lake

Overall the tour checks the boxes, that is it. Medeo skating: longish drive and then a glimpse of the skating arena from a distance, that's it. Kok Tobe Hill: the only thing worthwhile here is to have a decent view of the city from the top. There's a direct gondola (cable car) from the city top come here instead of the drive. Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen and cathedral: calm sombre environment ash the war memorial, naturally. The cathedral design and interiors were noteworthy. Good experience. Grand Mosque: was merely a glimpse from the car; it was Friday afternoon prayer time. However, the guide did not suggest anything else given that we could not stop and enter the mosque. Overall it was adequate. The tour started and ended on time (in 4 hours), exactly as mentioned. It covered only those mentioned in the itinerary even though there were other attractions on the way, where one could have stopped for at least a photo opportunity. The guide was courteous and we had a decent general conversation. There's no reason to complain and also there's no reason to be delighted.

I stayed at the most unprofessional hotel named Golden palace Hotel front desk staff was nor aware what they were doing.they did nothing which was mentioned on booking.com site, Break was the worst I had in my travelling life. I booked two rooms with one day difference in arrival.they did not notice the different date and claimed room charge for on extra day.

This was a great introduction to Almaty, covering its key attractions. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic!

I went on the Private Almaty tour with Dastan. He picked me up from my hotel on time and proceeded to expertly show me around his beautiful city. He meticulously arranged the order of the places to visit in order to avoid the crowds. Some of the attractions we visited were the Medeu, Kok Tobe, the Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen, and the Almaty Central Mosque. The highlight for me was the Ascension Cathedral, the stunning Russian Orthodox church made of wood with some of the most intricately ornate interior I’ve ever seen. Definitely a must see! Along the way, Dastan also pointed out some of the other attractions of Almaty that were not included in the program. Overall, this is a concise and informative tour showing the main highlights of Almaty. It’s well suited for those with limited time & wanting to see what the city has to offer.

I took this tour on my first day visiting Almaty, and I'm glad I decided to do so. Dastan, who showed me around, is really friendly and knowledgeable about the city and its history. I'd recommend this tour if you want to see the main highlights that the city has to offer and to get a lay of the land.

We had a great time with Dmitry! He was very knowledgeable and was very easy to talk to . He was willing to answer any questions we had for him and if we wanted to stop somewhere off the beaten path he was more than willing to help us out on our journey. This trip was remarkable even though it was very hot we had an amazing time. Thank you for a great trip/memory!
