Free walking tours in Almaty

Amy is an amazing tour guide! She is knowledgeable, informative, friendly, and helpful. Her English is excellent. We learned so much in 2-3 hrs about history, tradition, culture of Kazakhstan. Highly recommended!

This walking tour exceeded expectations! Karakoz was amazing at showing us the sites as well as giving us the knowledge and history of Kazakhstan! Can not thank her enough for the best introduction to this beautiful country :)

Karakoz was a great local tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable on the city and the country, both modern day and historical. Very friendly and showed us the best spots for local chocolate and for a tasty Kazak dinner. We highly recommend her :)

Excellent free walking tour and a great introduction to Almaty. It was the perfect way to see the city’s main highlights in a short amount of time while learning much more than you would on your own. The guide shared a lot of interesting background information about Almaty, and the city’s history, making the places we visited much more meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get a good overview of the city and its culture.

Great tour. Karakov explained us very well many particularities of Kazahastan and we enjoyed a lot. Very pleasant tour. Top recommended!

I'm so glad I joined Amy's tour as a solid foundation to Almaty and Kazakhstan. She's a ray of sunshine in an otherwise "cold" region. She also touched on the general overview of how things are like here from locals perspective, which later helped me to appreciated the pieces on display at the Almaty Musuem of Arts. Green Bazaar was definitely a highlight too with all the tastings available, and you'd get some guidance on what's an appropriate price range to pay when you return. Amy's tour is a must

Aiguerim was a fantastic guide! She gave us a lot of insights into Kazakh history and culture, had practical tips and showed us great sights in Almaty. As it was Monday, the bazaar was closed but instead she took us to the chocolate factory and we got to try delicious chocolate. After the tour, she sent us a lot of follow up info and even helped us with other questions we had.

This tour was absolutely amazing thanks to our excellent guide. She was so helpful, interesting and knowledgeable. She accompanied us to all the landmarks and explained us all the info about them. The tour in the green bazar became a real “food taste”. The tour is absolutely recommended!!!

Aigana was so sweet! She was very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. Her recommendations were amazing and definitely need to come back to finish the list!

This was a great walking tour to get to know a bit more about Almaty and Kazakhstan. It was just the two of us on the tour, and the Green Bazaar was closed so we were able to pivot the tour and take a more relaxed approach which I enjoyed. Karakoz was friendly and a great guide!

Karakoz is a great guide, always keeping everyone engaged which is not an easy thing to do! Apart from that, she's funny and very knowledgeable about Almaty and Kazakhstan!

I didn't have that much time in Almaty so taking the tour with Aiguerim was great for exploring many places in the city within a short time. She was very friendly and excited about the information she was providing. Because we were a small group and all very interested she took even more time than originally planned to answer all our questions. Great tour - definitely worth it!! :)

Die Tour mit Aiguerim war sehr informativ - sie hat uns sehr viel über ihre Heimat erzählen können. Ich kann die Tour sehr empfehlen. Es gab sehr viele tolle Empfehlungen. Für mich persönlich war die Tour ein wenig zu lang und die Beine wurden schwer bei dem vielen Stehen - aber das ist mein persönliches Empfinden. Die Tour ist wirklich toll!

Our tour with Anna was rallye great! She tells you many interesting thinks about Almaty and Kasachstan. We can recomment!

It was a good introduction to Almaty. Lots of information and enjoyed the samples at the market.

Daniel was amazing , we really enjoyed the tour , he’s so knowledgable ! We learned a lot about the history of the city of Almaty , we highly recommend taking the night tour with Daniel 🤗

She is extremely sweet and was sooo proud and passionate about her city and country. It was such a wonderful tour and experience. I would highly recommend.

Karakoz (Anna) is fantastic. She brought our group of 5 together and took us for a beer. And talked about the history and culture. It was fun and informative!

Was one of the best group walking tours I did. Karakoz was very knowledgable and poured her heart out in making sure we had a great time. We ended up in a local bar and had awesome conversations. Totally recommend if you’re into creating great personal connections and enjoying Almaty attractions

Very knowledgeable and friendly.

Great tour to start off a trip and learn more about Almaty and Kazak history, Karakoz was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and friendly - loved the market tour and sampling the different local foods, highly recommend

Great tour with Armat! He showed us beautiful places and shared many interesting stories about the history and culture. Armat is very professional and easy to talk to.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Almaty for the first time. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience!

I had a lovely tour with Armat today! We were a very small group - just me, in fact - and I immediately felt very comfortable with him. The tour felt less like a formal presentation and more like a relaxed walk through the city with a knowledgeable local, which I personally really enjoyed. Armat has been living in Almaty for many years and he has a deep knowledge of both the city and Kazakhstan’s history, from the Soviet period to the present day. This combination of historical context with his own lived perspective and experiences made his stories feel real and personal, without ever feeling rehearsed. Thank you, Armat, for this genuine glimpse into the life and history of Kazakhstan! All the best to you and I hope many more travelers get to enjoy your tours in the future! 🙂

Aiguerim was a fantastic host in Almaty! The tour was well paced and covered a wide range of subjects from Almaty’s history to Kazakh culture. She was so friendly and funny and engaged well with the group. She also gave us a huge list of recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing and souvenir shops which was super helpful!
