10 out of 10 service! - Nurlan was our driver & guide, he told us where to stand and anticipate next activity. It was so fun learning all the culture and how yurts were made. Traditional snacks, food and lots of tea was provided. Nurlan helped my mom’s bag when she was struggling with her scarf and took our photos and very much 10 out of 10!

Immersive and safe - As a solo female traveler this felt very safe! I was picked up by a driver in a nearby hotel and he drove me there and then back whenever I was ready and didn’t rush me. The people here were so kind and helpful, I loved the educational aspect and the immersive performances of tradition such as a daughter singing a goodbye song to her mother before she got married, traditional games, live music dances, etc! Also the lunch was amazing, many picky eater/vegetarian options! And of course the views were amazing both on the drive and at the village.

Must go tour! - Highly recommend this trip. We were given a wonderful insight into the history of the Huns and their nomadic culture. The village is about an hour from central Almaty where we were staying. This is a village specially designed for tourists -- and they didn't disappoint. We got to hear stories of their past sitting inside a yurt, tasted fermented horsemilk, saw an acrobatic horse riding show and were given a wonderful buffet lunch.

Friendly and Informative. - We absolutely loved the village and the people there. The range of activities were great. However, the driver that took us and the office arranging could have been more pro-active. There was a lot of stress caused because we did not get a message the day before. I was chasing around. The office said the telephone number was slightly wrong but if that was the case, he could have used TripAdvisor App or my e mail. The village would now benefit from some ramps to make it more accessible but overall a great experience.

Fun experience but overpriced - This was a fun experience but way overpriced. The best part was the horse show, which was cool and impressive, but the rest was a bit gimmicky. It would be much more worth it at a lower price point.

We enjoyed the cultural... - We enjoyed the cultural activities, but considering the price, the experience felt lacking and ultimately wasn’t worth it. There are many other options that offer better value and are more enjoyable. The program lasted only 2–3 hours, and there were no tour guides to accompany us inside. The driver simply dropped us off and let us explore on our own, and I was also uncomfortable with him offering his personal services. Overall, I would only recommend this activity if you’ve run out of other things to do in Almaty.
