Winter in Almaty wouldn't have been as successful if I didn't have Cozmo Travel Qatar planning the tours in partnership with their local tour operator here in Kazakhstan. I Joined the group tour , we only had 4 days but they maximize the time to see as much as we could. Thank you to our tour specialist/ tour guide, Mr Vitaly , for your detailed descriptions of Kazakhstan history , places and all, your quick responses to all inquiries, and your tips/recommendations of food / other locations that are out of the itinerary. He is someone who looks out for our best interests. Even while on the trip, you were available to help everyone on your own way. Thank you for everything. You are awesome! PS: Special thanks to our tour bus driver who was fantastic in the road as well and keeping us all safe. Overall , it was such a memorable trip! best way to end 2024 indeed. Highly recommend their tour services and will definitely use them again!

Our guide Tina was fantastic, very helpful and kept us on time. The city of Bishkek was my favourite spot.

Valentina aka Tina is an extraordinary guide - warm, funny and knowledgeable, she accompanied us in Bishkek and Almaty and shared her love of her country with us. I could have listened to her talk all day.

The guide was excellent- very knowledgeable - and gave us a real insight into the 2 countries-both their history and the lives of the people today. The programme was varied and the drives between the activities were not too long and the transport was very comfortable. The highlights were the overnight stay in a yurt and the golden eagle encounter. The food was good but be prepared for a long wait before it arrives. Hotels were well situated and comfortable.

Excellent tour guide Ms Tatiana Potopaeva made this tour very special.

How lucky are we to be travelling Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan with the lovely Tina! Her enthusiasm about her country beams as she passionately shares her knowledge. We are having a ball, and are so grateful we got Tina as a tour leader. Tracey and Bruce from Australia.

A great guide is so important - and Vitaly is the best. Brilliant communicator, knowledgeable, patient (endless patience!) and kind.

A big thanks to Tatiana Potopaeva as she expertly guided our tour group in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan sharing her knowledge and love of this part of Central Asia. Highly recommend that you take the time to see this part of the world.

This was a wonderful trip made exceptional by the great professionalism of our guide, Valentina. She was so knowledgeable and drew us into the history, customs and beliefs of the countries with infectious enthusiasm. She supported the whole group but I have to say, I may not have managed the climb to the waterfall without her encouragement and support. She looked after everyone, and ensured every member of the group felt included and no one was left out or left behind. An exceptional trip I'll always remember.

My wife, Jocelyn, and I travelled through Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan with a group of other Brits. Our tour leader, Vitaly was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made the trip a memorable experience. Our driver, Valery, proved to be one of the safest drivers I've encountered, as well as being a friendly and sociable person. Both Vitaly and Valery are a true credit to DCAT.
