Amazing adventure - Our guide Asel was incredibly good. She ensured that we had a good time, held great conversation for the entire day and really went the extra mile to help us. I highly recommend her as a guide if you’re English or Russian speaking (or a mixed group like we were!). One word of caution - for the ski lift, especially in November - spend the extra money and rent blankets. I’m not sure my toes would’ve made it without that 😀

Wonderful guide for a very interesting tour - Our guide Alina was wonderful. She introduced us to the history and the very beautiful and rich Kazakh culture with passion along a most interesting and varied circuit. We were able to exchange in the best way and enrich each other. Excellent lunch of traditional Kazakh dishes. Not forgetting our driver, calm in the driving

An Unforgettable Journey Through Almaty - This was a fantastic tour especially when you have someone like Alina guide you through the places. She knows the Kazhak tradition and history the best and I would highly recommend this one with Alina the first day like we did. The best part was that it was comfortable and she made sure we were there at the Shymbulak early before the crowd started and we returned back when it was just about time. Had a fantastic lunch at a boutique restaurant in Kak Tobe. The icing on the cake was the green bazaar and the kazhak chocolate shop which featured authentic kazhak stuff. What we liked about Alina was she made sure explained all the stuff, negotiated with the vendors in Russian and was never pushy to buy anything. Add this in the review please. They are a bit expensive but worth every penny.
