    Miras was our guide that took us around Astana. Excellent guide who brought us to see the different parts of the city. A short but fulfilling trip to take around Astana, especially if you don't have much time to see the city.

    We took the Half-Day Tour of Astana with Astana Horizons, and our guide Kadyrbek Nurlybekov made the experience truly memorable. Kadyrbek was an amazing guide - knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. In just a few hours, we saw the best of Astana, including Baiterek Tower, Independence Square, Khan Shatyr, the GRand Mosque, etc. His insights and personal touches made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend Astana Horizon and Kadyrbek!

    We had a lovely half day tour with Amir who was knowledgeable and welcoming. We learnt all about Astana and Kazakhstan and saw all the main sights. I would definitely recommend this tour for a taster if you are short on time like we were. We enjoyed our time in Astana and wish we had more time as it has matured into a livable interesting town

    My son and i had two half day tours with Nura (the driver / guide). Nura did an excellent job, showing us the most interesting and beautiful parts of Astana. We contacted the company and set up a good program with Kadyrbek. Everything ended up being as we had foreseen.

    My mom went on a tour with Adil and absolutely loved it! It was an interesting and informative experience — she learned a lot of new things. Now Astana has become her favorite city. Adil can give tours both in Russian and in English. Моя мама была на экскурсии с Адилем — ей очень понравилось! Экскурсия была интересной и познавательной, она узнала много нового. Теперь Астана стала её любимым городом. Адиль проводит экскурсии как на русском, так и на английском языках.

    I had a wonderful afternoon in Astana with my guide Nura. He showed me the most beautiful corners of Astana and had a lot of information ready. What I'm particularly pleased about is that he showed me his university. I was totally impressed. If I come to Astana again I will definitely book another tour. Thanks again for everything.

  • Amazing tour!!

    We didn't have much time, but I'm glad we were able to turn compact in a short time. I wanted to come more slowly this time.

    We were hosted by Kadyrbek himself for this tour and had a great time. Correspondence was prompt and very responsive, which made it easy to coordinate pickup/dropoff, and any other questions we had prior to the tour. During the tour Kaydrbek shared a lot of interesting information about Astana which gave us a greater appreciation for the city and its culture, architecture, and so much more. Would recommend this tour if you want to get a taste of different aspects of the city, not just the downtown city center.
