Free walking tours in Almaty

Our guide was very well informed and we learned a lot about the history of the city. We saw some fascinating sites. He wanted to take us to see more, but it was very hot so we cut the tour short. We did four hours, which is plenty. More than that becomes hard work. It's a big city, it's not practical to see everything in one walk. Especially when it's 30C

I was the first person to take the tour with this guide. The tour was very informative. She took me to the most important part and told me history about it. I was also late for the tour and she was flexible enough to wait for me. Overall a good informative tour

It was better than I expected. Had a great time with the fellow travelers. Our guide was extremely nice and well informed.

The tour is quite long and it gets better when you start asking questions, as many information might not be directly transmitted because its not main stream. I really enjoyed the personal side offered by my guide, but I found disrespectful people who would be just talking or minding their business in the middle of the guide intervention.

It was a very refreshing take on Almaty with a cheerful Aiguerim who ensured there was never a dull moment. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Almaty!

Great one

Aiguerim is a fantastic guide! She made sure all of our questions were answered and took lots of time to get us all to try different traditional foods from the Green Market in Almaty!

Had a great time with Aika who was very knowledgeable. The chocolate shop at the end was fun, and we also had a surprise taste test of some traditional milks and snacks in the market which was great!

Awesome Local Guide...

We really enjoyed the tour. It was very informative and funny. The tasting of some local products was really nice to get the opportunity to try them. Thanks a lot!

With Aiguerim we experienced Almaty in a way we would not be able to experience without her.

This was the longest tour I ever did - and in a very positive way. We walked and learned a lot about Almaty. EXCELENT!

Excellent tour from a wonderful guide. So impressed with the knowledge and care taken on this tour.

Aika was a wonderful tour guide, providing lots of interesting information both about Almaty and about Kazakh and nomadic culture and history more broadly. She had lots of time of questions and showed an interest in us as well.

We enjoyed an engaging walking tour through the city center of Almaty. It offered valuable insights into the city's history, allowed us to sample local cuisine, and took us past several notable monuments and landmarks. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience. My only suggestion for improvement would be to include more social context about the country. The tour focused primarily on historical sites and factual information, with little reference to contemporary societal issues such as politics, daily life, or civil liberties. I'm not sure whether this omission was intentional or due to a lack of in-depth knowledge on the subject.

It's a good tour I think, by far the most interesting I did in central Asia.

Many thanks to the guide Aiguerim for a warm and fascinating tour of Almaty! The excursion felt like a personal walk — comfortable, interesting, and very engaging. The 4.5 hours flew by unnoticed — I highly recommend her tours to anyone who wants to discover and truly experience this wonderful city!

Aiguerim is very kind and knowledgable.

Wir hatten einen guten Vibe mit Aiguerim! Die Tour hat echt Spaß gemacht.

Aiguerin was amazing. She knows so much about history and the city. Is friendly, and open for questions. She made our day

Did the tour with Alguirim and liked that she explained a lot about the city and country. She answered all questions and tried to show us the local life. Although the tour was nice I would personally like to see more places in Almaty. The pace was quite slow and I’d spend less time on food and souvenirs.

Very lovely person, I appreciate her enthusiasm towards her own city and cultural background. A good orientation of the city. She also prepared bus ride fare for us so the walk was not too tiring even though the sites looks far apart.

Aiguerim is a lovely person and very knowledgable. I would not hesitate to recommend her!! Dr Graham from London

Aiguerim was a delight, enthusiastic and knowledgeable I could see all of us in the group liked her as she did her to make us feel at ease. I used to be a tour guide myself and it takes a lot of research and knowledge to then relay things with ease to the group. I am a frequent user of GuruWalk and I have seen some highly professional guides and Aiguerim is certainly one of them I love to learn things about the country I am visiting and who would better do that than a local If you have Aiguerim as your tour guide you will not be disappointed 👌👏👏🥰

This is a great tour to do on your first day in Almaty. Aiguerim is passionate about her city, its history and enjoyed providing us with information & answering all our questions. I'd definitely recommend this tour.
