Review of Almaty’s Medeu, Shymbulak, and Kok Tobe tour, with cable cars, mountain views, pricing, timing, and practical booking advice.

“We did see Shimbaluk and Medeu and Kok Tobe. The lifts to the mountains provided stunning views. But the driver was basically only a driver- an hour late; not prepared with tickets for Kok Tobe so we had to wait while he picked up the tickets. And unlike our other tours he didn’t give us any information.”
