Amazing and challenging hike

5.00The Almaty hiking tour was amazing, and Ote is an incredible guide. He does a great job catering the tour to your interest and ability level. The hike itself was challenging and very rewarding. Although we didn’t make it to the alpine lake, we enjoyed the views along the way. Weather in the Almaty mountains can be a bit unpredictable, so be prepared for rainstorms/hailstorms. Ote was incredibly supportive and ensured that we got down the mountain safely despite the inclement weather. This tour is a great way to see some of Almaty’s natural beauty, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

5.00Overall a great tour to see the mountains and get some exercise. This tour is great as it can be made flexible to fit your needs based on physical level, interests, and any time constraints. My guide was Dauren, and he was very friendly and helped ensure that the tour ran smoothly. So if you happen to have him as a guide, then you are in good hands!

5.00This was a great tour. Erlan was a brilliant guide, who tailors hikes based on people’s ability. I would definitely recommend!

5.00I was travelling with my parents (60+) . Although the hiking trip mentions 4 places on the list (of which you can choose one) , they can customize the trip for you, based on your group’s overall fitness level. Gulzat was the manager who reached out a day before enquiring about the above . I’d requested for some hiking sticks for my parents which she sent promptly the next day . Our guide for the day was Yelnur. A young lad who speaks Kazakh, Russian, English and French. Yelnur was a great guide to have , as he was patient, communicates well in English, engaged in good conversation and was very considerate and helpful toward my father. Yelnur would hold his hand , if required to support him where my father needed the help.
A silent walk closer to nature

5.00I expect sunny weather in the day I visit Alma Arasan but unfortunately It's rainy and foggy. But it is quite good when I can have chance to be close to nature without many tourists. The trekking route to Alma Arasan is the easiest and shortest one among other trekking routes, quite suitable for one who's new to trekking activities like me. The tourguide is really helpful and informative.
Fantastic

5.00We were out of practice with our hiking skills, so decided to go with a guide. It was the best choice we could have made! Gulzat was super helpful in contacting us after the booking and our guide Diyas was exceptional. The entire process and experience was a pleasure, with memories and photos we will cherish forever.

4.00Almaty National Park is good. Guide also is good for helping the hiking. But it would be better to talk prior about route details.

5.00The tour was magnificent. My Guide Yelnar is very Kind. You will think that English is his mother tongue. It was very hot in Almaty at that day, but the weather up was amazing. Yelnar showed me very beautiful places in the mountains. I really enjoyed the views and wish Yelnar all the best for his future
