Beautiful day with the Best Guide! - I had the chance to go around with Kadyrbek and I was not disappointed at all! His English is impeccable and I was able to learn so much about Kazakhstan and Kazakh culture in general while eating traditional snacks in a yurt. Afterwards, the horse ride was very nice and perfect for a beginner like me. The place where we rode was very peaceful and beautiful! I recommend the excursion for all those who have not ridden and would be interested in trying as well as all those who would like to get out of town a little!!

Best guides in Astana - Kadyrbek and Madi were thoughtful hosts for our family of 3: 2 middle- aged adults and 1 teen. Communication was clear and easy, they both speak perfect English, and we felt lucky to meet them. We visited a yurt outside of the city where we learned a ton about the culture and tried some traditional foods, went on a short horseback ride, and returned to the city for a delicious lunch. It was a wonderful experience and we felt like we started the day with guides and left with friends.

A fun and memorable experience for our stay at Astana!!! - Amazing tour and guides! A fun trip where we've visited the traditional Yurt, while the guides are so nice to tell the histories and stories of the Kazah people plus along side with traditional Kazah music~ The fun on top for sure is with the horse riding, where it's our first time to try out~ (3 of us came from Hong Kong, we've never ride horses before!) Easy but relaxing ride for beginners, with riding guides to lead you thru the way if you are not comfortable to ride on your own. The route and nature during the ride was fantastic! I miss Kazah already while its just a week ago. The route and nature was just so memorable! After the Yurt visit + horse riding, we were brought to have a tradiditonal Kazah meal, which was also great! All in all, it was a fun and memorable experience for our stay at Astana~ Its so good that it encourages me to go for another visit at Kazah! The tour and the guides are highly recommended!

Great guide and amazing tour! - Such a great Guide! We had an amazing day. He speaks perfect english and has a lot of knowledge about his country and its history. He can make indivdual tours to cater your wishes. We did the National Tour with Horseriding. We had snacks and Tea in a Yurt, went riding in the Astan outer skirts nature & finished it all off with a traditional lunch. We were picked up and dropped off at 10 at the place of our liking. He took some really good pictured of us and also went horseriding together. Horseriding also works for beginners as you aren’t alone and you can get help to stear the horse if you need it. A great day & I cannot recomend him enough!!

Super nice host, very fun adventure! - The tour was super cool! Booking and communication was very straightforward, the guide picked us up directly at the hotel. During the approximately 1 hour drive out of the city we had a good chat with him, he told us a lot about Kazakhstan and answered all our questions, but was also very interested in our country and our culture. His English is excellent! We visited traditional tents and then went horse riding, which was definitely a highlight of the tour. At the end we went back to the city and ate a very tasty traditional meal. The whole time the conversation and atmosphere was very relaxed, almost like traveling with a friend. I learned a lot and will definitely book one of his tours again the next time I'm in Astana! 100% recommend!
