Viktoria, thank you so much for your 5-star review! It was a true pleasure guiding your wonderful group in Almaty and sharing its history and culture. I learned so much from you as well. Especially a forgotten recipe for saiga antelope! You were lucky catching the clear sky, magic sunset and almost zero traffic ) I’m glad you enjoyed the tour, and I hope the memories will...
