          Fantastic tour that shows the highlights of Almaty.
          I went on the Private Almaty tour with Dastan. He picked me up from my hotel on time and proceeded to expertly show me around his beautiful city. He meticulously arranged the order of the places to visit in order to avoid the crowds. Some of the attractions we visited were the Medeu, Kok Tobe, the Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen, and the Almaty Central Mosque. The highlight for me was the Ascension Cathedral, the stunning Russian Orthodox church made of wood with some of the most intricately ornate interior I’ve ever seen. Definitely a must see! Along the way, Dastan also pointed out some of the other attractions of Almaty that were not included in the program. Overall, this is a concise and informative tour showing the main highlights of Almaty. It’s well suited for those with limited time & wanting to see what the city has to offer.

          Dmitry made our trip memorable!
          We had a great time with Dmitry! He was very knowledgeable and was very easy to talk to . He was willing to answer any questions we had for him and if we wanted to stop somewhere off the beaten path he was more than willing to help us out on our journey. This trip was remarkable even though it was very hot we had an amazing time. Thank you for a great trip/memory!

          Almaty Tour
          I highly recommend Sanzhak’s day tour of Almaty if you have a free day. The combination of driving up into the spectacular scenery of the mountains, going up to 3,200m on the chairlifts, and then seeing all the main highlights in the city centre made for a really interesting and full day. Top marks.

          Great your.
          This tour was easy and informative. Communication before the tour was quick and easy. I was picked up at my apartment with no issue. The highlights of the city were seen with enough time and information. A follow up message after the tour was also received. Highly recommend for any traveler but especially solo travelers.

          Almaty City Guided Tour
          The city tour including Medeu and Shymbulak Ski Resort, were overall wonderful! Marat the guide was very friendly, fluent in English and absolutely knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour. Lunch in a Kazakh national restaurant was great too! I enjoyed the visit to 3 canyons and Kolsay lake as well. It was my first time in Kazakhstan and the experience was fabulous. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Many thanks to Vladislav who was very accommodating and a big help in arranging my excursions!

          We loved our day-long adventure! We started in beautiful Charyn Canyon, and then made our way to Kolsai Lake for lunch.
          Must see outdoor, natural side! Drive through open lands with horses and sheep roaming, and stunning mountains backdrop
