My guide Viktor was more than perfect. I was not prepared for winter hiking (shoes and gloves), but he helped me gearing up. If you are not familiar with winter&high mountain, this might be tough. Viktor will guide you well, so no worries. And once you get to the glacier, you will definitely think that worth it. This tour is absolutely 10 out of 10.
Incredible day

Wow this is a day I won’t forget! The views on the hike up the glacier were incredible for one. Our guide- Viktor- did everything he could to make the experience more pleasant for us (including carrying all extra gear required until we needed to wear it, and carrying a packed snack and hot drink for us to replenish energy during our day). Viktor also has an interest in photography, and he took every chance he could to get a great shot for us! The glacier too was so amazing to walk through and see. Will be recommending this tour to everyone I know going to Almaty
Thank you, Victor!

The most extraordinary hike! Victor, our guide, really made the day even more perfect. Thank goodness for him, he had all the advanced gear we needed ready to go. It was the most memorable day, and getting to roll with a local mountain enthusiast really enhanced the experience.
Great Trip, great Guide, great Location.

Viktor was a great guide who allowed guests the time they needed to walk and enjoy - not rushed. The supplied crampon equipment was great quality and helped grip on the snow. The adventure was easy to organise at the last minute.
Best experience you’ll have in Almaty.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Victor was my guide. He explained the history of Bogdanovich Glacier and its beauty. He took amazing photos for me. And once we got to the glacier, we had time to relax, and he provided delicious tea and snacks. If you’re thinking about visiting Bogdanovich Glacier, choose Victor. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Top fave tour of our trip!
