      Great trip

      Joanna_B, Apr 2025
      Very good trip, well planned and well worth it. It was a long day, but we saw everything we wanted. Karlag Museum visit was very thorough; Karaganda stops - quick for the photos; lunch very delicious in a Russian restaurant. Our guide Amir was very good and knowledgable. Children enjoyed the trip as well.
