Great first day in Almaty

We spend a fantastic day with Alina! Well organized, very interesting, warm and welcoming :). We were a mix russian-english group. Alina spoke both languages fluently making everyone feel comfortable and included. Highly recommend!

Wonderful time at Almaty

We had such a great time on this full day private tour. Assel is our guide. She is helpful, knowledgeable & patient. We spent the next 9 hours exploring Almaty, learning the history during the Romano & Russian era, culture, food and visiting special sites such as museums, the wooden church, republic square, the world's highest outdoor ice rink, bazaar and much more. Assel took us to Navat restaurant for the traditional Kazakhstan lunch. As a tourist we think the Park kot Tobe visit will be more for locals to spend time with families as it is an amusement park. We definitely recommend this tour to those who want to explore for one day.

Operator response

Dear Noraini, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! It was a pleasure being your guide and showing you around Almaty. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about our history, culture, and traditions, and that you had a great time exploring the city’s highlights. Thank you as well for your honest feedback about Kok Tobe—we truly appreciate it. Wishing you all the best and many wonderful travels ahead

Best tour guide Assel for Almaty visit

One of the most enjoyable trips I had in my life , Assel was my tour guide and she managed to plan everything in a very short notice … with high knowledge of the history and excellent English accent and she is a nice photographer as well so despite I was solo she gave me very excellent photos and enjoyed it as if I am with a friend … also the car was very clean and driver was nice and drive well thanks to you all and hope to see you again … Rakhmet

Operator response

Amazing adventure

Our guide Asel was incredibly good. She ensured that we had a good time, held great conversation for the entire day and really went the extra mile to help us. I highly recommend her as a guide if you’re English or Russian speaking (or a mixed group like we were!). One word of caution - for the ski lift, especially in November - spend the extra money and rent blankets. I’m not sure my toes would’ve made it without that 😀

Operator response

Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a joy showing you around the city. Wishing you both endless love and happy adventures together — may your marriage be as beautiful as the places you visited! 💍✨”

Wonderful guide for a very interesting tour

Our guide Alina was wonderful. She introduced us to the history and the very beautiful and rich Kazakh culture with passion along a most interesting and varied circuit. We were able to exchange in the best way and enrich each other. Excellent lunch of traditional Kazakh dishes. Not forgetting our driver, calm in the driving

Chers Jean Michel et Nelly, Merci pour ce merveilleux commentaire. Je vous souhaite de nombreux voyages, santé et prospérité. Prenez soin de vous

An Unforgettable Journey Through Almaty

This was a fantastic tour especially when you have someone like Alina guide you through the places. She knows the Kazhak tradition and history the best and I would highly recommend this one with Alina the first day like we did. The best part was that it was comfortable and she made sure we were there at the Shymbulak early before the crowd started and we returned back when it was just about time. Had a fantastic lunch at a boutique restaurant in Kak Tobe. The icing on the cake was the green bazaar and the kazhak chocolate shop which featured authentic kazhak stuff. What we liked about Alina was she made sure explained all the stuff, negotiated with the vendors in Russian and was never pushy to buy anything. Add this in the review please. They are a bit expensive but worth every penny.

Operator response

Dear Nagesh, Thank you for taking your time to leave a feedback. Wish you more unforgettable trips around the world, success and happiness. Take care and all the best
