• 5Great experience

  Fantastic orchestration of the trip. Timely through the entire trip. We opted for vegetarian food and was really tasty food which we didn’t expect to get. Saida our tour guide and the team was very passionate about her profession and was very helpful in providing the required support. Greatly appreciate the conduct of trip.

• 5Shymbulak Mountain

  We combined on the same day the Almaty city tour and the visit to the Shymbulak Ski Station. Even in the summer, that's a very beautiful and pleasant place. On the highest point you have a great view of the place. Our guide from Neomad, Nursultan, was a great company, we had an excellent day with him.

• 5Must do in your Checklist if you wish to have memorable experience...!

  The Tour was well managed and our tour guide Nursultan from NEOmad was super friendly and welcoming. The communication was detailed and through thought the Calls/Whats App chat until we met on the day of our trip. He made sure to reserve ample amount of time is given at each location to explore the beauty of nature as well as guided through the local shopping/photography. Along with that he made sure that we know about the rules and regulations and provided historic, current and amusing information thought out the journey. Also, he is well versed in communicating in English and knows Indian Culture, hence he was able to suggest good restaurants that would meet your taste palette. Overall would rate 5/5 for the great, memorable experience. Would highly recommend if you are planning for private excursion and trust me you won't regret!

About Almaty

Almaty is Kazakhstan's largest city, set beneath the snow peaks of the Tian Shan, with leafy parks, Soviet-era monuments, cafés and mountain lakes nearby.

Almaty lies on a plain at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau, a range of the Tian Shan mountains, whose snowy peaks rise to the south. It was the capital of Kazakhstan until 1997, when the title passed to Astana, and it remains the largest city and the cultural centre. Wide avenues are shaded by poplars and elms, and Panfilov Park holds the brightly painted wooden Ascension Cathedral and a memorial to soldiers of the Second World War.
