Informative and interesting tour - Very knowledgable guide . Learned a lot about history , geography ,culture people, and politic of Kazakhstan . Astana is a beautiful city , like ‘Dubai’ of Central Asia . I can predict Kazakhstan will be the Korea or Japan of Central Asia one day .

Great experience in Astana - Originally I thought that this was an all walking tour of the city, but the tour operator advised me that it would be better to drive round the city. It was a good decision as Astana is a well spread out city and the places to visit are reasonable distances apart. I had a very pleasant experience with my tour guide Daulet who was a very knowledgeable person. All of the places I visited were great, but my favourite was the Grand Mosque, which is huge. Astana is a city certainly worth visiting

Enjoyable day in Astana - The tour is enjoyable with the tour guide, Zhanna and I have a wonderful time touring around the city of Astana. Zhanna English is excellent and able to provide information on the place of interest and a good lunch as well in a local restaurant. Not forgetting the great driver who made the trip enjoyable and safe for me.

Educational and enjoyable day spent in Astana - It was an excellent tour that covered most of the main points of interest in Astana, and was tailored to my needs. These needs included wanting to spend a lot of time at the National Museum and needing to get to the airport by 3 pm for my flight. The guide Zhanna is excellent, very knowledgeable and her English is excellent. She also has an excellent sense of humor and the tour was a lot of fun.

I have good memories of... - I have good memories of interesting places but heavy traffic in the city. I am a bit disappointed to miss the entry Bayterek Tower, National Museum of Kazakhstan and Zeleny Bazar. The guide picked us up at airport 20 mins late. I believe he is no experienced to us because both are profound deaf. I told him to entry the tower but he told me closed. I checked website that it is still open.

A city with remarkable architectural and sights. - We really liked our guide. He was a soft-spoken, compassionate young man who was eager to share his adopted city with us. His answers to our questions were sincere and often thought-provoking. We went to a wonderful local restaurant for lunch. At the end of the day, he directed us to an enjoyable walk. Why the 3/5 rating then? He was rather inexperienced as a guide, arrived late and left early, and we spent a huge amount of time going from one sight to another in Ubers (or their Kazakh equivalent) to find the sights closed, ending up seeing only three sights
