Nice day trip to an old Gulag. Didn’t had much time for sightseeing in Karaganda but still got to see a bit of it which was nice. Tip: instead of booking through here, do it via their website ( astanatours) and it will be way less expensive :-)
A great day tour!

A fascinating tour into the history of the gulag in Kazakhstan. My guide, Gera, was informative and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour.
