Itinerary
The key feature of Almaty is that the city is located near high mountains reaching 5000m above sea level. This location makes it possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountains without leaving the city. Thanks to this, in this private car tour you will have the opportunity to visit one of the landmarks of Almaty - Shymbulak High-Mountain Ski Resort, ride on a Cable Car, and enjoy the panorama of mountain peaks. You will go up close to the clouds to Shymbulak Mountain Ski Resort, located in the picturesque gorge of Trans-Ili Alatau at an altitude of 2260 m above sea level. Further, the cable car will take you upper to Talgar pass (3200 m above the sea level), where a magnificent scenery of Trans-Ili Alatau mountain peaks opens. In addition, you will visit the park, located right on the top of the hill with an amazing view of the city of Almaty.
Hidden amidst the stunning landscapes south of Almaty, the Alma-Arasan Hot Springs stand as a remarkable testament to nature’s healing powers. These springs, located at an elevation of 1835 meters in the Prohodnoe Gorge, are celebrated for their mineral-rich waters and captivating scenery. Let’s explore why Alma-Arasan should be on your travel list.
Dazzling Almaty with its golden grandeur, the Central Mosque reigns supreme as one of the city’s largest mosques. This architectural marvel, also known as the Almaty Central Mosque, attracts visitors with its awe-inspiring dome and rich Islamic design. Beyond its captivating presence, the mosque serves as a vital spiritual center, welcoming worshippers and offering a glimpse into Islamic culture.
Prepare to be awe-inspired as you admire the extraordinary beauty of Zenkov’s Cathedral, an architectural jewel nestled in the heart of Almaty, Kazakhstan. This remarkable structure is not only a significant religious landmark but also a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the past.

Overall it was a good experience and guide was ver friendly. The itinerary plan shared was intact and followed the same.
Had an amazing city tour with the best guide, Erasyl Zhumabek! Shymbulak was stunning, Kok Tobe had incredible views, and exploring Almaty was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this private tour.
Mr. RENGA RAO Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are glad you had a good time in Almaty, Everest_Tourism really appreciates your support.
Erasyl is amazing! Very punctual and knowledgeable about the entire country! We were a family of 4 and he was very gracious to take. Lot of pictures for us. Has an excellent command on English and very passionate in explaining the history and background information about the places we visited. he is well versed with current affairs and we had great conversations on the way. Overall a very pleasant personality. Bonus, he knows all the good spots to eat and especially if you are an Indian. We loved the food there. Thank you
Ms. Vinita thank you so much for your kind feedback, we appreciate your trust and support.
We had a wonderful time visiting these places. We rode the cable car up Shymbulak mountain and the view was breathtaking. Our informative and friendly guide who was also our driver cum photographer took very nice pictures of us. He spoke English fluently so it was a bonus as he provided us with useful insights. Kok Tobe was kind of like a theme park with rides for the young ones. There were also some petting animals for the kids to play with. All in all this trip was a memorable and fun for us. Highly recommended.
Mr. Zalenah Salani thank you so much for your kind feedback, I am glad you had good time in Almaty. We really appreciate your trust and support.
A private tour of Shymbulak, Koktobe, and the Cathedral Church in Almaty is an excellent way to explore the city’s stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and fascinating history. The flexibility of a private tour allows for a more relaxed and personalized experience compared to group tours. You can spend more time at each location, fully immersing yourself in the surroundings. The guides are typically very knowledgeable and friendly, offering insights that truly enrich the experience. I highly recommend Mr. Erasyl as a tour guide – he is accommodating, personable, and goes out of his way to ensure the tour is enjoyable and informative. Whether you're interested in the scenic views of Shymbulak, the panoramic vistas from Koktobe, or the history behind the Cathedral Church, this tour is definitely worth it!

I had an amazing experience visiting Shymbulak Medeu Resort, Kok-Tobe Hills, Green Bazar, Arbat Street, Cathedral of the Holy Ascension, and the Rakhat Chocolate Factory with Everest Tours. Everything was perfectly organized, and the trip exceeded all expectations. The car provided was brand new, comfortable, and ideal for our journey. Our guide spoke excellent English, was incredibly friendly, and took great care of us throughout the trip. He also brought along a DSLR camera and captured some truly stunning photos of our family, which was a wonderful bonus! The guide was attentive to all our needs and ensured we were comfortable at every step of the way. His knowledge and dedication made the experience even more special. I highly recommend Everest Tours for anyone planning a trip. Their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. This was a memorable trip for our family, and we’ll cherish it forever!
