Great 8.5 hour private tour with Nura

5.00Despite being only a 19-year-old college student, Nura was poised, intelligent, interesting, and professional, and gave us a great, fascinating tour of everything important in Astana. He was even able to adjust the tour to show us something extra that interested us, taking us to a synagogue instead of a church. He had his own beautiful car and really knew the city and history well.
Great thorough tour of...

5.00The two-day Astana City Tour was exceptionally interesting for us. In a short time, we learned so much about the city and its sights. The tour organization was perfect. Both the tour operator and the two tour guides were first-rate. They were very flexible in their planning and incorporated all our wishes into the tour. The tour was varied and informative; the two tour guides had in-depth knowledge of Astana and its sights. They were also engaging conversationalists, and we got along very well. Communication in English was flawless. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

5.00This full day city tour was excellent to visit the main attractions in Astana and understand a little bit more about it's way of life. Kadyrbek is a very calm and patient guide, he was a good company during the day... and much more than that, he was the responsible for the success of all our trip thru Kazakhstan and also Uzbekistan. Since the first contact he was very attentive and did the best to understand our possibilities and expectations. We have a friend in Kazakhstan now! Wish you all the best, thanks for taking care of us! Being on a private tour gave us the opportunity to have plenty of time in each place as we wanted, and to customize it. Astana is a very beautiful and interesting city. We do recommend this tour!
Amazing Tour

5.00Tour was amazing, Zhalgas was friendly and knowledgeable and was a delight to spend the day with. Conversation was never boring and I learned so much more than I would have trying to navigate Astana on my own. This is how I would recommend immersing yourself in Kazakh culture, especially as a solo traveler. 1000/10 🤩
