She introduced us to the history and the very beautiful and rich Kazakh culture with passion along a most interesting and varied circuit.
We were able to exchange in the best way and enrich each other.
Excellent lunch of traditional Kazakh dishes.
Not forgetting our driver, calm in the driving

An Unforgettable Journey Through Almaty - This was a fantastic tour especially when you have someone like Alina guide you through the places. She knows the Kazhak tradition and history the best and I would highly recommend this one with Alina the first day like we did. The best part was that it was comfortable and she made sure we were there at the Shymbulak early before the crowd started and we returned back when it was just about time. Had a fantastic lunch at a boutique restaurant in Kak Tobe. The icing on the cake was the green bazaar and the kazhak chocolate shop which featured authentic kazhak stuff. What we liked about Alina was she made sure explained all the stuff, negotiated with the vendors in Russian and was never pushy to buy anything. Add this in the review please. They are a bit expensive but worth every penny.

Almaty in one day - We had such a wonderful experience on this full day private tour. Alina our guide and a driver picked us up from our hotel in the morning. We spent the next 9 hours exploring Almaty, learning the history and visiting special sites such as museums, the wooden church, republic square, the world's highest outdoor ice rink and so much more. Alina took us to a traditional Kazakhstan restaurant for a wonderful lunch. Throughout the day we learned about culture and traditions and shared family stories.
I highly recommend using Alina from Almaty Inspiration Tour!

Excellent Guided Private City Tour and Issyk Lake Tour - We had a memorable experience with Alina from Almaty Inspiration Tour. We booked a City Tour with her and the Issyk Lake tour. She was very flexible with the timings as we had a small toddler and she adjusted timings accordingly, which made us so comfortable. One the first day she welcomed us to Almaty with chocolates and very thoughtfully got cake and apple for our daughter. She explained us Kazakh history and culture during the entire city tour making it a memorable one. Alina also took us for lunch in an Indian restaurant Maharaja during the city tour and enjoyed a leisurely lunch with us. She even took care of our toddler while taking the cable car rides and even bought her craft stuff in the Green Market souvenir shop. Her personal touch made us feel welcome and didn’t make us realise that we were with a tour guide, it felt like we were exploring the city with a close friend.
For Lake Issyk tour she packed a wonderful picnic for us, and we could spend a good one hour by the lake and enjoy the wonderful view. She didn’t let us walk even for a minute and managed to take the car directly to the lake. The picnic at Issyk Lake was one the most memorable parts of our trip, something that we will remember forever. Alina took care of us like family and it made our trip a truly amazing one.
