The Green Bazaar transports you back to the Middle Ages, offering great discounts and a cheerful atmosphere! Don’t miss the chance to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, authentic dried fruits, rare spices, and much more at our Green Bazaar!
- Ascension Cathedral - The Zenkov Cathedral (Ascension Cathedral) is a remarkable architectural structure located in the lush Panfilov Park of Almaty. This historical monument is one of the city’s main attractions. The Bishops of Turkestan and Tashkent initiated the church’s construction in the early 19th century. The project was entrusted to the era’s finest engineers and architects: K.A. Borisoglebskiy, N.I. Stepanov, S.K. Troparevskiy, and A.P. Zenkov. In 1903, the project received approval, and the cathedral was constructed between 1904 and 1907 under the supervision of A.P. Zenkov.
- Gogol St 144 - Visit the “Rahat” candy store, where tourists can purchase candies, sweets, and more.
- Arasan Wellness & SPA - In the late 1970s, due to a shortage of public baths, a proposal was made to construct a large SPA complex featuring swimming pools, Russian, Finnish, Eastern, and combined baths, a hydrotherapy center, and additional amenities such as cafes, hairdressers, and massage rooms. The building is located along the block’s perimeter and adjoins the 28 Panfilov Guardsmen Park on the eastern side. The Arasan building became a new phenomenon in Soviet architecture for its figurative characteristics and functionality of bathhouses. It is one of the last projects of the “Kunaev” period of Almaty’s development, noted for its complex plan and structure.
- Ulitsa Panfilova - Also known as Arbat Market, this is a delightful place to visit. Similar to city squares in other countries, Arbat is a pedestrian street stretch between Nazarbayeva and Ablai Khan, filled with artists, entertainers, shops, and a supermarket. It also features the nearby TSUM shopping mall. Panfilov Street, which intersects Zhybek Zholy, is also part of Arbat.
- Kazakhstan Hotel - Constructed between 1975 and 1977, the hotel was recognized as an architectural monument and added to the register of national significance in 1979. It stands 26 floors tall and reaches a height of 102 meters. From 1977 to 2008, it was the tallest building in Alma-Ata. According to the hotel’s website, it is “the most earthquake-resistant high-rise building in the Southern capital.”
- Republic Square - Abay Square is a city square located in front of the Palace of the Republic in Almaty, Kazakhstan, named after the Kazakh poet and educator Abay Kunanbayev.
- Kok-Tobe Hill - Ascend to Kok-Tobe mountain, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the evening city from a bird’s-eye perspective (the Funicular ascent offers a city view, taking 15-20 minutes). Kok-Tobe is a mountain in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city, featuring a popular recreation area at its summit. The mountain stands 1100 meters above sea level. Kok-Tobe is one of the city’s main landmarks and is popular among Almaty visitors. The viewpoint from Kok-Tobe is a must-visit, offering panoramic views of the city in all directions.

My experience of the trip is positive and impressive. Highly recommended. - My friend and I first flew to Almaty. Our guide was Tatiana. We were on Shimbulak. Admiring your snowy mountains. Too bad Medeo's closed. We used to ride the cable car and take pictures of the mountain views. Then we had a taste of Kazakh cuisine, about which we still have amazing impressions. Then we went downtown. There were 28 Panfilovians in the park. Walked into the cathedral. Lots of people and Almaty and visitors everywhere. Went to your Green Market. Many of the products that are sold there, we had no idea. It smelled good everywhere. And of course visited the store of your famous Rohat candy factory. And in the evening, we took Koktebe to admire the city view. And everywhere we were accompanied by our guide Tatiana. A sea of information. Very sympathetic attitude. Humor. There's a real professional who loves his business. A very communicative man. It's convenient that she was in the car. We've been everywhere. Thank her so much for showing us Almaty. We are very pleased with the time spent and the vivid experience.

Good hotels, good food, good prices, lovely people, nice culture. Good agency, good guide, good car. - Firstly the schedule was really great and so organized,
Secondly, the driver Ellyas was really amazing and cooperated, he suggested so many good places to us to chill out and when we go to place he explains the story behind it, he gave us so much stories about Kazakhstan history and legacy.
He also helped us in some cases where we wanted to buy something, he makes sure that we will not get scammed. He drives carefully and doesn’t over speed. He is calm and polite.
The hotels was really great, but I think I liked Abay hotel the most because it was luxurious and their breakfast was the best in the journey. I wished that we could stay more in the hotel.
Shymbulak was really good places. But we didn’t like to stay there for a night because all places closes from 6P.M , I think it good for couples. Over all the price of the package was reasonable, the activities was great, Ellyas was a really good man and a good friend.
In the end, Kazakhstan Is good and lovely country with such a good people. I will recommend my surroundings to visit you and enjoy.
We arrived on the 16th of October and lift on the 26th of October.

Experience at Almaty - We booked a full-day tour around Almaty and its surrounding nature spots, and our guide exceeded every expectation.
From the very start, their professionalism and warm hospitality set the tone: on-time pick-up, friendly greeting, well-organised vehicle and schedule.
Major highlights were shymbulak, issyk lake and Charyn canyon.At every stop we felt relaxed and had enough time to explore without being rushed.
Thanks to this guide Aibek, our visit to Almaty became one of the most memorable parts of our trip. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking a high-quality, informative and enjoyable tour experience.

Wonderful Family Trip to Almaty, Kazakhstan - Our recent family trip to Almaty, Kazakhstan was a truly memorable experience. The city is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by stunning mountains and full of natural charm. The accommodation provided was comfortable and added to the pleasant experience of our stay.
A special mention must go to our guide, Miras, who was arranged by the travel agency. He was outstanding—very kind, extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and always ready to assist with a smile. His honesty and support played a big role in making our trip smooth and enjoyable. Miras really made our journey special and successful, and we are very grateful for his guidance.
While the overall experience was great, one suggestion for the travel agency would be to include the ropeway (cable car) ride ticket in the package,
Overall, it was a fantastic trip, hope we return with beautiful memories. Highly recommended!
