    This was by far the best tour I've been on, and it was entirely due to my guide, Alan. Astana is a fascinating city, but Alan elevated this experience even more with his incredible knowledge and genuine passion for the Kazakh people and culture. There are guides... and then there are guides of Alan's level. I have taken many tours and never had a guide like Alan. All in all, this is a great introduction to some of Astana's incredible sights. If you have limited time in Astana, highly recommend this tour. If you can get Alan as your guide, it will be even better.

    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.

  • Great experience

    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.
