Best Tour Provider in Almaty - I travelled solo to Almaty then joined 2 of their tours such as City Tour and Charyn Canyon, Kolsay and Kaindy lake tour. They have very good tour guides, friendly and approachable. They also entertain us even inside the van during road trips. It is highly recommended for all kinds of travelers to booked a tour from them to have an enjoyable and unforgettable experience in Kazakhstan 😊

Highly recommended tour - I had a fantastic experience on this city and outskirts tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Dilnaz. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts and stories that made each stop more meaningful. What I appreciated most was her energy and enthusiasm—she made the whole tour fun and engaging from start to finish. Dilnaz was also very caring and attentive, always checking in to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. She clearly loves what she does and it shows. The tour was well-paced, informative, and enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting, and if you get Dilnaz as your guide, you’re in great hands. I’d gladly join another tour with her again in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TFG trip to Kazakhstan - We had an amazing 2-day tour with JoinMe, and we wanted to express our gratitude for the exceptional service provided by our tour guide, Tomi. From the moment we arrived, Tomi’s professionalism, knowledge, and warmth made the experience truly unforgettable. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and informed, sharing fascinating insights about Kazakhstan’s rich culture and history. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of our tour and had an incredible time exploring the beautiful sights. We are already looking forward to returning this summer for another adventure! Highly recommend JoinMe for anyone looking to explore Kazakhstan in a memorable way. Cant wait for more trips with my TFG ladies!
