Description
Explore Almaty, Kazakhstan's former capital, on a private city tour that combines Soviet-era landmarks, mountain views, and everyday local life.
Begin at the Green Bazaar, Almaty's oldest working market, where stalls piled with dried fruit, spices, kurt (dried yogurt balls), and fresh produce give a real taste of daily life in the city.
From there, walk through Panfilov Park, home to the striking wooden Zenkov Cathedral, one of the tallest wooden buildings in the world, built without a single nail. See the Soviet-era war memorial with its eternal flame.
Continue to Arbat Street, Almaty's pedestrian promenade lined with cafes, street art, and local artists, before heading up to Kok-Tobe hill by cable car for sweeping views over the city and, on clear days, the snow-capped Tian Shan mountains that frame it.
The tour also passes Republic Square and the Presidential Park, giving a fuller picture of how the city blends its Soviet past with modern Kazakhstan.
Throughout the day, travel with a private, English-speaking guide at a pace built around your interests. Spend more time at the bazaar, take a longer walk on Kok-Tobe, or stop wherever catches your eye.
