5.00I had a great time with the tour. It is rather a simple round trip, but I think that's actually what makes this tour so fruitful. Nursultan's experience and knowledge are very vast. It will definitely take you to the complex and beautiful history of this country. I'd definitely recommend you to join! ありがとう。
