Worth every minute and money spend - We are 100% satisfied with the experience we got! Long drives by car, but it was worth the wait to see all this beauty. Alina was professional guide, who introduced us to both the history and the culture of the local population. Also in mountains we got lot of vintage soviet car experience :). Everything was well organized, we moved from places of interest without haste, we fit in on time.

Best Tour Guide in Almaty ! - I was recommended Almaty Inspirations Tour by my Hotel. Alina was my initial contact and she was very prompt in responding and booking last minute tour for the next day. The Tour Guide Asel was great, she made the tour very enjoyable with her local knowledge. I have travelled a lot, she was one of the best tour guides I have come across. Our driver for the day Azad was very friendly yet professional as well. I ended up booking another full day tour with Asel for the next day and would recommend her and Almaty Inspirations tour to any one visiting Almaty. I would definitely be visiting Almaty again soon and wouldn’t hesitate to contact Almaty Inspirations Tour again. Asim Naim
