Metro and Soviet Modernism Tour in Almaty

My husband and I came to Almaty for a few days and were looking for something out of the ordinary, not just a walk around the center. I've long been interested in Soviet architecture, so I chose this route. The guide took us through the metro stations, and the one I remember most is the one with space-themed mosaics — I was staring at the ceiling and almost fell behind. Then we went out onto the avenue, looked at modernist buildings, and the guide explained how ideology and aesthetics combine in them. We also stood in Republic Square and listened about the monument. Overall it was packed, though the pace is brisk. Great, I recommend it to those who love architecture and history.

The tour combined the metro and modernism. Madina explained everything clearly. I liked it.

Took the tour to see the metro and buildings. The guide showed everything. I recommend it

My brother and I went together; he'd been inviting me to see Soviet architecture in Almaty for a while. It was interesting to see the metro and modernism together in one route. The guide told us a lot of new things about the stations and the buildings on the avenue, about how they're connected to the era. I especially remember the mosaics and the story about the space theme in art. I'd never thought that every detail has meaning. It's a walking tour, the pace is normal, we didn't get tired. I recommend it.

Great tour! The guide gave an excellent tour of the metro and modernist buildings. Thanks!

I went with my friend, she's an architect, so she talked me into it. I'd long wanted to see modernism in person, and here the metro was also in the program — just great. The guide showed everything, spoke calmly, without rushing, answered questions. The stations are beautiful, especially the ones with national motifs; I'd only seen such mosaics in photos before. I also liked how he explained the symbolism of these panels; I wouldn't have figured it out myself. The fountain at the end is also a nice touch. I recommend it if you want to understand the city more deeply.

We went with colleagues after work, wanted something unusual. A tour of the metro and modernism, the guide is good, explained clearly and with humor. I liked everything, but the group was large, sometimes not everything was audible and you had to stretch. The stations are beautiful, especially the one with space mosaics, and then a walk along the avenue with stories about the buildings. About the square and the monument was also interesting. Overall I recommend it, but it's better to go when there are fewer people.

Thanks for the tour! We were passing through with my sister, she suggested seeing the architecture. The guide showed us such beautiful stations and Soviet modernist buildings, we especially liked the mosaics. Very impressed.

We liked the tour, but the road to some sites was long. However, Anzhelika led the tour very interestingly.

It was a good tour. We saw the metro and Soviet modernism. The guide said a lot. Thanks

Went on the excursion and saw modernist buildings and the metro. The guide had a great time but the start was a bit delayed
