★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · from $131Best value

Visit UNESCO-listed Tamgaly from Almaty for ancient petroglyphs, expert guiding, private transport, and a full day among hills and canyons.

“I really enjoyed the tour to see the petroglyphs. My guide, Nursultan, is great. He is so knowledgeable about the petroglyphs and pointed out ones that I would have otherwise missed. I am surprised not more people visit the site as we were the only one there during the visit. Overall I am very satisfied.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 3 reviews · 2 days · from $315

Spend two days at a Kazakh ranch with horseback rides, homemade food, a mausoleum visit, river trails, horse care, and a private sauna.

“Best experience and food I had in Kazakhstan! The horses are so lovely, the food is absolutely delicious and the team is amazing! One thing that I can say is that from the moment I arrived is that everyone has been such a delight, very instructive in teaching me how to learn to ride and really cared that I have a good time. Which I did! The ride to the mausoleum was so much fun in the snow. I have fallen in love with horse riding and this family horse ranch! Thank you Alima and team!”
