4.00Very beautiful day. Horse show very exciting. The guides of the village were really nice and the whole tour was very interesting. The car that took me there was clean. The driver spoke no english, just russian. As feedback for the organizer: no free water bottle was given.
10 out of 10 service!

5.00Nurlan was our driver & guide, he told us where to stand and anticipate next activity. It was so fun learning all the culture and how yurts were made. Traditional snacks, food and lots of tea was provided. Nurlan helped my mom’s bag when she was struggling with her scarf and took our photos and very much 10 out of 10!
Fun experience!

2.00We enjoyed the cultural activities, but considering the price, the experience felt lacking and ultimately wasn’t worth it. There are many other options that offer better value and are more enjoyable. The program lasted only 2–3 hours, and there were no tour guides to accompany us inside. The driver simply dropped us off and let us explore on our own, and I was also uncomfortable with him offering his personal services. Overall, I would only recommend this activity if you’ve run out of other things to do in Almaty.
Fun experience but overpriced

3.00This was a fun experience but way overpriced. The best part was the horse show, which was cool and impressive, but the rest was a bit gimmicky. It would be much more worth it at a lower price point.
I had such a great time everything was amazing

Immersive and safe

5.00As a solo female traveler this felt very safe! I was picked up by a driver in a nearby hotel and he drove me there and then back whenever I was ready and didn’t rush me. The people here were so kind and helpful, I loved the educational aspect and the immersive performances of tradition such as a daughter singing a goodbye song to her mother before she got married, traditional games, live music dances, etc! Also the lunch was amazing, many picky eater/vegetarian options! And of course the views were amazing both on the drive and at the village.
