5.00We had the pleasure of having Bauyrzhan as our tour guide in Astana, and he was absolutely fantastic. Within the time frame we had, Bauyrzhan managed to give us a wonderful insight into the city — taking us to all the key attractions and offering detailed, engaging information that really helped us understand and appreciate Astana’s history, culture, and modern development. His knowledge and passion for the city were evident throughout the tour. We came away with a great feel for Astana thanks to his thoughtful guidance. Highly recommended!

5.00We had a fantastic time yesterday doing the tour of Nur-Sultan (Astana). It was way above what we expected. Kadyrbek is super knowledgeable and professional, but also very relaxed and easy to talk to, his storytelling skills are great and he makes every minute worth it! The car was clean and comfortable, and he took us to all the main sights, but also a few hidden gems we would not have found on our own. What I really appreciated was how he adjusted the pace depending on what our interests. We became very fascinated with the Great Mosque and the beautiful Orthodox Church and he gave us extra time there without rushing us. Also, he speaks perfect English, we were very impressed. You can really tell he is passionate about his country and culture, the whole day went by very fast. Definitely recommend this tour if you’re in Astana, whether it’s your first time or even if you’ve been here before. Thank you again Kadyrbek, it was honestly our best day in Astana!

5.00The tour was comprehensive and offered a comfortable experience to someone travelling for the first time to Astana. There were many sights in the city and this tour had allowed me to cover as many places as possible within a short span of time which would otherwise be difficult on my own. The itinerary planned out was amazing as well! From covering all the major sights, being brought to some of the most authentic and delicious restaurants in town for lunch, and even ending off with wine tasting. I really feel like I've found one of best city tour package that allowed me to savour the best of Astana in one sitting. In particular, I'd also like to thank my guide Kadyrbek, who has been instrumental in providing me with a hassle-free and enjoyable trip in Astana. He is very knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and is a very humble and friendly person. If you are short on time and would like to make the best of your trip to Astana, I believe this would be the right tour for you.
