Reviews
We spent a long time choosing an excursion and settled on this tour. We didn't regret it: the panorama of the night city, the cable car is magnificent. The guide explained everything. We went with a friend, wanted to spend the evening beautifully. The ascent took only a few minutes, but the views that opened up were stunning. We strolled in the park and took photos at the observation deck. Dinner at the restaurant at the top was delicious, especially liked the hot dish. The lights of evening Almaty look magical from above. I will definitely recommend this tour to friends.

Wonderful tour. Panorama of the night city, dinner at the top. The guide told everything. Minus: departure delayed by 5 minutes. My sister and I decided to try this tour since we hadn't been to Almaty for a long time. The cable car ascent was thrilling, the city is like on a palm. We strolled along the alley of stars and took a bunch of photos. A delicious dinner awaited us at the restaurant, especially liked the salad. The city lights shimmered in different colors. Lots of impressions, I recommend!

My wife had long wanted to see the city from above, so we arranged a romantic evening for ourselves. We went up on the cable car right at sunset, the lights of Almaty below — just a fairy tale. Dinner at the restaurant at the top was also a delight. True, we had to stand in line for the ascent, but it didn't spoil the impression at all.
