5.00This full day city tour was excellent to visit the main attractions in Astana and understand a little bit more about it's way of life. Kadyrbek is a very calm and patient guide, he was a good company during the day... and much more than that, he was the responsible for the success of all our trip thru Kazakhstan and also Uzbekistan. Since the first contact he was very attentive and did the best to understand our possibilities and expectations. We have a friend in Kazakhstan now! Wish you all the best, thanks for taking care of us! Being on a private tour gave us the opportunity to have plenty of time in each place as we wanted, and to customize it. Astana is a very beautiful and interesting city. We do recommend this tour!

5.00Tour was amazing, Zhalgas was friendly and knowledgeable and was a delight to spend the day with. Conversation was never boring and I learned so much more than I would have trying to navigate Astana on my own. This is how I would recommend immersing yourself in Kazakh culture, especially as a solo traveler. 1000/10 🤩

5.00I had an excellent full-city tour of Astana with Astana Horizons Tours. The tour was guided by Nura, who was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. I not only learned many interesting facts about the city’s history and modern development, but also gained a deeper sense of its culture and identity. The itinerary was well-structured and covered all the key highlights. Having a private car made the experience very efficient and comfortable, allowing us to spend quality time at each stop without rushing. I highly recommend Astana Horizons Tours for their professionalism, thoughtful service, and personalised approach. A wonderful experience!
The best day Tour ever

5.00My guide Zhalgas was fantastic. Punctual , considerate, funny and always ready to answer my questions. The whole day was great. The sights, the lunch, transport was impeccable, bottled water provided and overall fun day… I would highly recommend Astana horizons tours and definitely do the longer city tour rather than the half day. So much to see and do.
