Must do in your Checklist if you wish to have memorable experience...! - The Tour was well managed and our tour guide Nursultan from NEOmad was super friendly and welcoming. The communication was detailed and through thought the Calls/Whats App chat until we met on the day of our trip. He made sure to reserve ample amount of time is given at each location to explore the beauty of nature as well as guided through the local shopping/photography. Along with that he made sure that we know about the rules and regulations and provided historic, current and amusing information thought out the journey. Also, he is well versed in communicating in English and knows Indian Culture, hence he was able to suggest good restaurants that would meet your taste palette. Overall would rate 5/5 for the great, memorable experience. Would highly recommend if you are planning for private excursion and trust me you won't regret!

and overall, it was a... - and overall, it was a fantastic way to explore some of the most iconic landmarks in the area. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, giving us not only the history behind each place but also some local insights that we would have missed otherwise. The tour covered all the key spots—museums, historical buildings, and scenic viewpoints. One of the best parts of the tour was the personal touch. The guide made an effort to engage with everyone in the group and was very approachable for questions. We also had some free time to wander around on our own, which was a great balance between structured sightseeing and self-exploration.

Worth it experience! - The tour was an awesome experience. It was a 4-5 hours journey and during the whole entire trip, every part of it was perfectly smooth and well explained. We got to see and take a bunch of amazing views. The tour guide, Nursultan was very nice and informative. We could definitely say that it’s a worth the experience tour to at least try it once in your life!

MUST DO IN ALMATY.. - Went during September and were lucky enough to get a snowfall at the top. Our personal guide Mr Nur Ul Sultan was very good, spoke good English and was well aware of the area. If you can don't miss the chair lift ride up from the second station the feeling is amazing.

A day well spent at Shymbulak! - Our guide Nur Sultan was extremely friendly and polite. He showed us around the Shymbulak ski-resort and told us about the history of Almaty and ski resort. It was a perfect day trip. We recommend this tour.
