Alta was a terrific guide and a very interesting person. Her broad background, both educationally and experientially, was a real boon to our special project, and she accommodated our needs with flexibility and enthusiasm. In addition, she was a fascinating conversationalist, and we very much enjoyed sitting down with her over a meal and a long conversation, learning about a wide variety of issues involving Kazakhstan and its history, both current and long past. Very highly recommended!…

The guide Altynai yespembetova was very knowledgeable and speaks fluent English. She arranged the tour very efficiently at short notice Chayryn canyon national park is as picturesque as Grand Canyon of USA. It was a pleasant day trip from Almaty The guide also arranged a taxi for a day trip to Bishkek at very short notice. I recommend Wondersof Kazakhstan and guide Altnai for all the tours in Kazakhstan. They are all organized and affordable…

Sirisha, thank you for your kind and detailed review! The day you visited Charyn was special: golden eagles flying above the "castles", beautiful clouds, and an open air jeep at the canyon in working condition :). I wish all the best to your wonderful and friendly family! Kindly, Altynai .

The original itinerary I had scheduled had to be canceled due to weather and road conditions, but that did not stop the ever resourceful Alta from recommending an even more interesting itinerary to places i had no idea existed. The highlight was the Tamgaly petrogylphs. A magical set of low hills coved with some of the oldest human art. You can literally see the transition form hunting animals to domesticating them in the various petroglyphs. A fascinating place and a hidden gem. Alta's knowledge was deep with regards to almost any subject regarding the region and Kazakhstan in general. On top of being an excellent guide she provided excellent transportation for our somewhat long journey, speaks perfect English, is a good conversationalist and has a lovely sense of humor. All in it was about as perfect an experience as i could wish for and would recommend Wonders of Kazakhstan to anyone…

Actually we went to visit a son in Astana. Flew to Almaty and had booked Alta for a tour of the city. It was so nice with her that we added next day. Her husband drove us into the mountains and lake area. Wonderful! We ended the entire day with them. Made friends and are still in touch. Our appreciation of Kazakhstan was greatly enhanced through them.…
