«Golden Square»: All Eras of Almaty in 3 Hours

I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with an unusual date, and this route was perfect. The atmosphere of the old streets, the evening light, the fountain at the end — it's all romantic. The guide suggested good photo spots, we got great shots. My girlfriend especially liked it by the wooden cathedral. The only thing is, we had to walk a lot, she was in heels, better to warn in advance.

We really liked the tour. We learned a lot. The guide's story was interesting.

My sister and I had long wanted to learn about old Almaty, not just the new districts. We took this tour and didn't regret it. We were impressed by the contrasts of old and new, especially the houses from the early last century next to modern buildings. Thanks to Madina for her patience, she answered all questions and didn't rush us.

The tour is very intense. We saw all the main places. The guide was attentive to questions. The only thing was it was a bit hot to walk.

The Golden Square tour is a great opportunity to see all of Almaty. Especially liked the park and old buildings. Minus: waited in line to enter the cathedral.

Booked a tour for the family. The kids didn't get bored. We liked that they showed different eras of the city. Too bad we were 5 minutes late due to traffic.

The guide took us through the golden square. Very informative, we learned about every era of the city. I liked that we went into the cathedral and walked along the pedestrian street. I recommend it to everyone who wants to understand Almaty and not just take a walk.

I took the tour for colleagues from Russia. They were impressed by the walk through the historic center. They especially liked the contrast of architecture and going inside the wooden cathedral. The guide organized everything perfectly, there were no problems even with the headphones.

Together with a friend who wanted to learn the history of Almaty, we chose this tour. In a short time we saw a lot: Soviet-era buildings, old merchant houses, a wooden cathedral. The guide told it interestingly and answered questions. At the bazaar we tried fruits and sweets, we liked that. But everything was rushed, especially there were few stops. The guide tried, but there wasn't enough time. You have to walk a lot, that should be kept in mind. Overall, a good tour for a first introduction to the city.

I came to visit a friend and wanted to finally understand the history of Almaty, not just stroll along beautiful streets. I took this tour to get a complete picture — and I got one. From the Soviet buildings on the square to the pre-revolutionary mansions on the shopping street, everything came together into a single story. I especially liked that we went inside the wooden cathedral, I'd never seen anything like it before. The guide answered all the questions, you could tell he knows his stuff. We tried products at the bazaar, the tasting pleasantly surprised me. But still, there weren't enough stops to rest, three hours on your feet is noticeable. Next time I'll take a longer route so I can both see things and rest.

The tour is super! We saw both the old city and new districts. Just had to walk a lot.
