Karakoz is a pleasant guide, eager to share her personal story when necessary, introduces well her city and country.. however be prepared for basic English.

Aiguerim gave us a memorable history, cultural treat a beautiful 4 hour walk with many cultural stops. The market experience and tasting was amazing. Her history knowledge and help with our needs and questions were superb. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Throughout my trip she also helped me with booking of fine cultural experiences like Ayul Restaurant and Sandq. Also advised me to get my ballet ticket, shopping and even a fancy spa hammam. Many many thanks Aiguerim. You are the Best. I love Almaty.

Karakoz was amazing. She was so funny. We had a good feel of the city with her. Would definitely recommend her. She told us about the history of the city, their traditions and their food.

Aiguerim was a great guide! She was very informative and gave us enough time to explore each spot and had us experience the varying tastes of Kazakh food and culture. She also had a great list of recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Highly recommend!

This was a brilliant introduction to Almaty, I would definitely recommend. Aiguerim is an enthusiastic and passionate guide whose love for her country and the city shines through. She is flexible to the needs of the group meaning we got the most out of the time we had.

Visiting old Delhi with Aman was amazing ! We learned much about the history and culture of India, and got to taste some delicious local food. He brings a lot of positive energy and kindness. I recommend 100% :)

Karakoz , she is doing good tours. I like the way how she explained history and foods.

Really nice person! She was very knowledgeable and very welcome person. In the end it felt like we were friends. Totally recommend going in the tour with her!

Aiguerim is very knowledgeable, I learned a lot about the history and daily life of the local culture and people. She is also very helpful in answering questions, I enjoyed the tour very much!

Aigana fue muy amable y atenta. Aunque me presenté yo solo, el tour se hizo igual y además adaptó un poco los tiempos en cada lugar según mis intereses. También me hizo recomendaciones de otros lugares. Muy recomendable!

We had a really informative and enjoyable tour with our great guide Karakoz. She was full of life and very professional. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and to get to know her city Almaty. Highly recommended walk.

Karakoz is an exceptionally great host with great knowledge about Almaty, Kazakhstan and the history of Central Asia. Karakoz is also a very interesting and caring person as she takes care of the interests and comforts of her guests. I highly recommend a tour with her.

Excellent introduction to Almaty and Kazakhstan. Superb engagement and interaction. I was dubious of how long the tour would be and people losing interest, especially as it was raining, but it was a great tour.

We really enjoyed the tour and all of the places that we visited. We were grateful that it was a very small tour so we were able to ask lots of questions and our guide was very knowledgable and passionate about Almaty. Thank you!

Anna was great! It was fantastic to hear the fascinating history of Almaty and Kazakhstan as well as her lively stories. We were a small group so it was very friendly and personal. The tour visits a limited portion of the city centre but being able to shop and do tastings in the market with a local to explain was a highlight!

Karakoz gave us a wonderful tour around the Paniflov Park and Green Bazaar areas, with a history lesson woven throughout the walk.We got to sample some local delicacies, but I don't think I will be converted to horse meat. It was nice to get her perspectives on daily life, éducation, family life etc Thank you Karakoz!

We had a great and fun walking tour with our guide Karakoz! She shared interesting information about Kazakhstan and Almaty with us, and helped us understand the Kazakh culture better. We got to see few famous places in Almaty and try some local specialities on the Green Bazaar. Karakoz was very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

This is one of the very best walking tours I have ever done. It was a great introduction to Almaty and Kazakhstan in general. We even had samples of several foods we would never have tried, and in the case of fermented camel's milk, will never try again! Karakoz was friendly, very informative, always happy to answer questions, and all around amazing. I give my highest recommendation of this tour.

The best guide in Kazakhstan

Karakoz is a very knowledgeable and patient guide ready to answer all your questions about Kazakhstan. Since she’s a local she gives you a proper and authentic tour of Almaty the culture, food and history. We really enjoyed out tour with her!

I joined the free walking tour of Almaty and had such a great experience! Karakoz was friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable — sharing not just historical facts, but also local stories and cultural insights that really brought the city to life. The pace of the tour was just right, with plenty of time to enjoy key landmarks like Panfilov Park and the Zenkov Cathedral. She also brought us to try camel and horse milk at a local joint, and also personally helped us to pick out chocolates at the Rahat factory and local snacks at the supermarket after we asked her for some recommendations. If you’re visiting Almaty, this walking tour is a must-do! It’s the perfect introduction to the city and a great way to connect with its atmosphere and people.

Karakoz provided all the information and was an excellent guide. I would recommend her highly.

Karakoz’s tour was super nice and professional! We were very appreciative that she still held the tour, given we were just two people! Really recommend!
