Top 10 Walking Tours in Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан, translit. Qazaqstan, IPA: [qɑzɑqˈstɑn] ( listen); Russian: Казахстан, IPA: [kəzɐxˈstan]), officially the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасы, translit. Qazaqstan Respýblıkasy; Russian: Республика Казахстан, tr. Respublika Kazakhstan), is the world's largest landlocked country, and the ninth largest in the world, with an area of 2,724,900 square kilometres (1,052,100 sq mi). Kazakhstan is the dominant nation of Central Asia economically, generating 60% of the region's GDP, primarily through its oil/gas industry. It also has vast mineral resources. Some argue that Kazakhstan may be considered a European country because Kazakhstan's Western region is on the European continent and meets the Council of Europe's criteria for European inclusion.

I’ll start off with my rocky start with a taxi driver scamming me even with knowing how much the average cost of a ride from the airport to my apartment would’ve been by using Yandex.Taxi and inDriver (the latter let’s you test before using) so what should’ve been a 500 Tenge ride on average at that time of night soon turned into 30,000 tenge. I said fine only because the taxi driver had said 5000 tenge and after flying for two days straight (time zones included) I just wanted to sleep in my apartment. However the taxi had someone follow us to make sure I paid more. However after my first few nights of talking to the locals and sight seeing I met one of Zhanel’s friends who introduced me to her. From the start she was very helpful and even helped me with the police about the taxi driver, I eventually got my money back due to Zhanel helping me. Zhanel has been very helpful and informative of the region and knows her stuff and history of the area. I had told her about wanting to visit Alzhir and she offered to take me there and give a history on the memorial. If you wish to have professional service, helpful and courteous people, but even people who you will for sure become friends with. I will definitely recommend coming back to Kazakhstan in general, but also to use this service ))

Hard to find words describing how beautiful are these places: Charyn Canyon “Valley of the Castles”, and Moon (Yellow) Canyon.
