★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 90 reviews · 4 hours · from $49

See Astana glowing after dark on a four-hour private guided tour with hotel pickup, major landmarks, local history, and comfortable transport.

“This was the best tour I have ever been on. The guide was incredibly kind and extremely knowledgeable, we asked hundreds of questions and he knew the answer to every single one. The tour combines driving around the city with walking stops, allowing you to truly experience Astana from different perspectives. We enjoyed it so much that we immediately booked an additional tour to visit the old part of the city. After last tour, he even drove us to the airport. The guide is Kazakh and truly understands his country — its success, identity, and challenges. He speaks about it honestly and openly, which made the experience even more valuable.…”
