Almaty City Tour (4 hours)
A compact introduction to the city between the steppe and the mountains. In four hours you will see how Almaty layers tsarist wooden architecture, Soviet monuments and a modern café culture against a wall of 4,000-meter peaks.
We walk Panfilov Park and the candy-colored Zenkov Cathedral, taste dried fruit at the Green Bazaar, pass the best Soviet-modernist landmarks and finish on Kok-Tobe hill with the whole city at your feet.
Go at your own pace with just your group — the route is flexible and your guide adapts it to your interests.
