Welcome to Almaty and nice to meet you! My name is Muslim.I am an experienced local tour guide from Almaty, Kazakhstan.I grew up in Almaty and I am in love with it! It is the most beautiful city in the World.I can show you many fascinating places inside our city and major tourist attractions in Almaty region.I know lots of historical and cultural facts about Almaty and our country as well.So, I am sure you will be interested to learn a lot about our city and Kazakhstan. I am also a founder and coordinator of Almaty branch for the Stroll Buddy (former Global Greeters Network) international volunteer project, which provides high quality and unique tours around major cities in more than 80 countries.Since that project is non-commercial, tour guiding for me was never about earning money, it isn't my main goal, but it became a hobby for me.This is a great chance to enjoy the beauty of our native land together with our foreign guests, tell them a lot of interesting things about our city, share impressions and new experiences, and, in return, learn a lot from them about their native country, its culture and traditions.Don't hesitate to contact me and book a tour with me. I am looking forward to meeting with you!

IMPORTANT!
I specialize mainly in city tours within Almaty, including nearby mountain locations.For travelers wishing to explore nature outside the city, I offer a full-day tour to the Charyn Canyon (8-10 hours), which is the most realistic option for a one-day trip.Popular destinations like Kolsai and Kaindy are located far from Almaty (5 hours one way).Visiting several remote locations in a single day is not recommended, as it results in rushed travel, limited time on each site, and a physically exhausting experience! I strongly recommend visiting each location separately as a one-day trip (12 or more hours).

Please ARRIVE ON TIME! Better to be a few minutes early.The tours has fixed schedule, any delays affect the whole program and all participants! If you are running late, please MESSAGE or CALL me in advance — even a short note helps avoid confusion and ensures we don’t miss important parts of the tour.

PLEASE NOTE: I don't personally own a car, so outside Almaty trips require hiring a driver which makes this kind programs longer, and more complex and expensive.
