I’m a passionate traveler and cultural explorer, with a love for photography and sewing. For five years, I worked as a tour guide in the Almaty region, sharing Kazakhstan’s beauty with visitors. A year ago, I started my own tour agency, KazViaTours, to help others discover the magic of my homeland. My adventures have taken me to Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Thailand, Turkey, the USA, and India—where I made sure to listen to locals’ stories through guided experiences. Now, I’m excited to show you the wonders of Kazakhstan with the same curiosity and warmth. Let’s travel and explore together!

Discover Almaty’s Soul: A Walking Tour Through History, Culture & Flavors

Imagine strolling through Almaty’s vibrant streets, where Soviet grandeur meets Silk Road charm, and every corner whispers a story. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a journey through time, tastes, and hidden gems, led by a guide who lives for Kazakhstan’s secrets.

Your Adventure Begins on Arbat
We start at Almaty’s lively pedestrian artery, where artists, musicians, and bustling cafés set the scene. Feel the city’s pulse as I share tales of its transformation—from a Silk Road trade route to a modern cultural hub.

28 Panfilov Guardsmen Park & Zenkov Cathedral
Step into a sacred space of war memorials and a wooden wonder—the colorful Zenkov Cathedral, built without a single nail. Hear the legend of the 28 Panfilov heroes and why this park moves every Kazakhstani to pride.

Rakhat Chocolate Factory
We’ll peek into Rakhat, Almaty’s beloved chocolate factory, where Soviet-era recipes still melt in your mouth.

Grand Finale: Green Bazar
No tour is complete without diving into Almaty’s culinary soul. At the bustling Green Bazar, I’ll show you where locals buy spices, dried fruits, and kurt (salty cheese balls!).

Why Walk With Me?
I don’t just show Almaty—I live its stories. I blend history with humor, secret spots with must-sees, and leave you hungry for more—literally!
