Private Full Day Almaty City Tour

Daryn is AWESOME! He took me around to all the major sites, and was flexible with time as I requested. He also took me for an incredible jalapeño smash burger at Broadway Burger in a cool neighborhood. He spent some time working in the US for a summer and communication was no problem - his English is better than mine and I’m from NYC. If you book a full day tour, request him, you’ll be glad you did!

What a great tour! Jan “Jon” my tour guide was so young but his English was perfect, he had the knowledge beyond his years and super fun to be with. We hit all the places of interest but my favorite part was the GREEN MARKET full of stalls, local people and souvenirs. Couple bonus add on was the RAKHAT chocolate store, the cable car up to Kok Tobe park and a traditional dress up photo shoot with a Kazakhstan Eagle, and ride the local metro. Also by request I was able to eat at the traditional regional food restaurant SANDYQ where Jan has been many times and recommended what to order. Being a foodie Jan had made my day!

I recently booked four tours with Qoshqeldin tour company in Kazakhstan, and my experience was outstanding. As a solo traveler, I found the personalized touch invaluable, with each tour uniquely tailored to my preferences. The tours included the city tour, Shymbulak excursion, Almarasan Gorge, and a two-day adventure to Kolsay Lake and Charyn Canyon, featuring a homestay with a local family. During the city tour, we visited Panfilov Park, and I appreciated the opportunity to stop at malls and grocery stores as needed. The private nature of these tours, combined with clean, newer vehicles, made for a comfortable journey, and I valued the flexibility in scheduling. My Shymbulak tour was pretty cool and I got to explore with the owner, Ali. We had lunch at a mountain resort and captured stunning photos in traditional Kazakh attire with a Berkut eagle. Ali was incredibly responsive via WhatsApp, always available to answer my questions and provide detailed itineraries that could be customized. For my other tours, I had the pleasure of traveling with Jangir, who was an exceptional guide. His English was excellent, and he was knowledgeable about the region's history and culture. Jangir made the long drives enjoyable with engaging conversations, music, and humor. He even assisted me in visiting a local doctor before our Kolsay Lake and Charyn Canyon tour, which I greatly appreciated. One highlight was my tour to the Green Bazaar, where I tried several local items, leaving with bags full of treats. We also visited a mosque, where I felt welcomed as an observer during prayers. Later, Jangir introduced me to a local noodle shop where I tried the langman dish—so delicious that I had it three more times! Our trip to Almarasan Gorge was another highlight, featuring a leisurely hike that allowed us to soak in the serene surroundings. I dressed in traditional Kazakh attire again for more photos with Berkut eagles. The overnight tour to Kolsay Lakes and Charyn Canyon, where I opted for a homestay, offered an authentic glimpse into local life. While the drive was longer, the views were stunning. In hindsight, I would choose a yurt stay for a more immersive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour company for anyone looking to explore Kazakhstan. Their personalized service, knowledgeable guides, and flexibility in planning create unforgettable adventures. I look forward to more tours with this company in the future!
