5.00I actually booked this tour for my business parner from India who came for the conference in Almaty , I was thinking for a long time what to present to him and after a long consideration I have chosen a tour to the Lake Issyk which I love myself ! I was right , it was the best choice possible as Mr Mruthul liked the tour so much that he diceded next time to come back for a longer stay in order to visit other sightseeing places of Almaty , because the English speaking guide who led a tour just made him fall in love with Almaty and its mouintains and lakes ! Thank you so much !

5.00Ok where to start. I had a trip booked for Sunday and because my flight was delayed I could not make it and they graciously put me on the Tuesday Trip. What can I say Maria collected me with a smile at my hotel. And once en-route the history and culture lesson began. Maria the guide was both so knowledgable and fun. From start to finish it was a pleasure. She also gave some great local tips to navigate the culture. The scenery in the park was breath-taking and of course the lovely guide also willing to take a photo when asked. Thank you Maria for such a fun, interesting and beautiful trip. Of course after this trip I begged for a city tour from her
