Assel picked me u along with Azat who drive us for the day.
Well the day started with Assel giving me some delecious Kazakhstan chocolate. The car was very comfortable and clean. First, we made our way to the giant Medue skating Rink. I also learnt about its history and that it is still being used today. Second stop was at the Ski resort and we went to the highest stop ( third) that the gondola took us to. It was a fantastic ride up and down the ski slopes.
We also stopped by to get some panaroma views at the old TV tower, this place also had a small zoo and was very lively as it also had a small amusement park.
After this we went to the museum where Assel gave me an insight to the Kazak culture and its history that was fascination indeed.
Lunch was where we went next, It was a beautiful restaurant with absolutely yummy food and a lot of choices to choose from Including vegetarian options. Assel also guided me and I had some horse meat that was really done well, in traditional Kazak style.
We next went to the Cathedral that had such beautiful decorations and the also to the monument for the soldiers who were killed during the second world war, this monument also had the eternal flame to honour the soldiers who fought in the great patriotic war.
The final stop for me was the market that was very lively and something that gave a local flavour to the whole tour.
A big thanks to Assel and Azar to have made my day greater than what I could ask for

My plan was pretty last minute to be honest . I landed in Almaty and my hotel Novotel living recommended Almaty inspiration tours
Assel got in a private tour for me and was my guide for a full day including a sumptuous meal at a posh local restaurant
She understood my wish list and planned everything to perfection
As an avid traveler I have worked with many Tripadvisor operators and they are easily one of the best
Kudos and keep up the good work!

We were short of days in Almaty and took the one day Almaty City tour along with a visit to Shymbulak Ski Resort. Tour was well planned in a short time and Alina guided us well with explaining the culture, heritage and history. We enjoyed the snow for first time in our life and tried horse meat too! We wish we had more days to explore!

This tour was a fantastic way to view Almaty. Our guide Alina was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the history and people of Kazakhstan. The driver was very good and drove carefully. We visited some of the main sites and as we were exploring, Alina was telling us everything about the history and Kazakhstani traditions. It was so wonderful to hear about history in a very interesting and fascinating way. Her stories were full of fun facts, exciting events as well as some tragic historical moments that resonated with our emotions. Because of how engaging her stories were, I was able to remember all of it when I was journaling about the trip the next day.
