    If you’re short on time, I highly recommend this!

    In a short space of time, I learnt so much about the city, their culture and the people of Kazakhstan. Roza is extremely knowledgeable and very keen to share what she knows about her country.

    Very interesting tour with a knowledgeable guide

    Catarina_S, Jul 2026
    This tour was a very nice experience. We walked around to the different places and our guide Roza answered all our questions. She was very knowledgeable and fluent in English. The tour lasted approximately four hours and she even helped us to bargain at the marked. We appreciated the tour with Roza. She was easy to talk to and very friendly - even when my husband got too eager with asking questions 😊which he always gets. We can truly recommend Roza and this company.

    A Must Do on Day 1 in Almaty

    Dhananjay_S, Jun 2026
    Rosa was kind and certainly very well informed about Almaty history and culture. The tour was enlightening and decently paced. Although we did it on day 3, I would recommend doing this on day 1 to be better informed about the city and plan the rest of the stay.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found Roza’s knowledge of Almaty’s history and culture valuable. It’s great to know the pace felt comfortable and that the tour helped you better understand the city.

    Great overview with short time.

    Greg_S, May 2026
    A great overview of Almaty, hitting the highlights in the short amount of time I had. Rosa gave me some great historical background. We were lucky and heard a special choir from Russia at the Asuncion cathedral. She even made it possible to ride the gondolas in the afternoon after out tour.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and were able to experience many of Almaty’s highlights in a short time. Hope to see you again for a longer adventure in Kazakhstan!

    Great guide

    This is the second time I’ve taken this tour with Roza - she is knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Definitely recommend!

    Lovely and interesting

    Barbara_T, Sep 2025
    Lovely walking tour! Roza was very helpful and her information was interesting. We had already seen the Green Bazaar so she took us to a different final location, a Greek orthodox church with a discovered secret cave area used during Soviet times.

    Content-Enhanced Walking Tour

    Mariko_T, May 2026
    A three-hour walking tour of the city's highlights with efficiency. I was able to hear interesting explanations from the guides not only in the main place, but here and there. The guide was amazed by his knowledge of everything from history to current events. Because I am Japanese, he introduced me to episodes related to Japan.
