Great tour! - Great introduction to Almaty! Chingis was an excellent guide - he introduced us to the history, architecture and culture of the city. Although an Almaty local, his English was flawless. We would highly recommend this tour!

Best Tour of Almaty - Chingis was my tour guide & was in a small group.
Chingis was very good at explaining the history & was very knowledgeable. The Cathedral was very interesting & getting to see amazing architecture.
We got to see Kazakhstan army practicing their drill. The statues were amazing.
There is so much history I learnt.
I would highly recommend this tour !

If you come to Almaty, you must take this tour :) - It was very exciting! Before, I knew little about the city and country itself, but our guide made the experience so easy and interesting. There are a lot of tour available, but taking this one was probably the highlight of my trip to Almaty

Almaty Tour with the detail - Chris is an excellent tour guide if you want to get the most out of a couple of hours around Almaty. He speaks great English and knows all the history to weave into the walkabout. Recommend dropping Chris a note if you are in town with 2 hours to spare and a curious mind.

Great informative walking tour - Guide was able to really provide solid informed information about the history across all aspects. It was a good introduction to the country and helped pull the threads together from my visit to the museum. He made this a personalised tour and we covered quite a lot of highlights! This is good if you don’t have a lot of time or want to take a deeper dive into history and key differences in culture and some regions of Kazakhstan!
