    Zhan was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our private tour to various locations around Almaty. We have a 2 years old toddler with us which can be difficult, but Zhan handled the situation very well. We were grateful to have such a good guide and we highly recommend Zhan to others as well.

    We stayed in Almaty for 5 days, and the people were incredibly friendly and generous. It was a fantastic experience seeing the lakes and canyons in person. The views were breathtaking—it felt like something straight out of a picture. The timing of the day made it even more magical. While some fees were higher than expected, they seemed reasonable given that they help maintain the cleanliness and upkeep of these beautiful destinations. At each location, we were able to enjoy the stunning scenery with relatively few tourists. However, when we visited Kaindy Lake, it was a bit crowded, and some tourists didn’t have the chance to fully appreciate the view or get a good photo. We booked a private tour, and our guide, Mr. Aldiyar, was amazing. He recommended local dishes we should try and was very considerate of our needs throughout the trip. We hope to have a chance to visit Almaty during spring season.

    We visited Almaty for four days, and it definitely wasn’t enough! I never imagined Kazakhstan would be this beautiful. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the experience was truly unforgettable. We were lucky to have Adil as our guide / driver - he was exceptional, accommodating, kind, well-informed, and always ready to help, which made our trip even more special.

    Our recent ladies tour to Kazakhstan was an unforgettable experience! From the stunning landscapes of Almaty and the Charyn Canyon to the serene beauty of Shimboulak mountains, Republic Square.. every day brought something new and breathtaking. The itinerary was well-planned, perfectly balancing sightseeing, cultural experiences, and relaxation. A special thank you goes to our tour guide, Nazarek who truly made the trip exceptional. Her deep knowledge of Kazakhstan’s history, culture, and traditions added so much depth to every stop. She was very friendly, patient and went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and engaged. We especially appreciate her attention to detail, and ability to handle everything smoothly. We are going back with amazing memories, new friendships, and a much deeper appreciation for this beautiful country. Highly recommend this tour to anyone considering visiting Kazakhstan!
