Almaty City Tour

After meeting our travel mates this morning and settling into our group hotel, we spent the afternoon touring around Almaty, which is the Kazakh word for apple. Almaty, set in the foothills of the Trans-lli Altus mountains, is Kazakhstan’s largest metropolis and former capital. We saw Rayimbek's (national hero) monument, Panfilov Park, World War II monument, Russian orthodox cathedral, Panfilov street (peatonal) and the Independence monument. All meals are included in our tour which is a great treat and we enjoyed a delicious group Kazakh style dinner of various meats and breads and salads. The promise of all things apple will be showcased in future meals. Yum, yum!Read more
