Tours to Russia from Almaty: prices from 540,000 ₸

took the family to Kazan because the wife had been nagging for ages — like let's fly to her friend, and what do I have to do with it, anyway we packed quickly, booked through our local travel agency both the tours and tickets at once, didn't argue, though I myself thought we'd just walk around the city. The Kremlin — yeah, impressive, I touched the walls, they're genuinely warm, although that Syuyumbike tower is crooked, but beautiful, it leaned over and stands — like me after yesterday, and I also liked the scooter ride along the embankment, wind in your face and no hustle, overall a solid four, because one museum was closed for inventory and the guide explained it kinda clumsily, but I don't regret going

Май айында қайда барамын деп көп таңаддым, маусымда қазірдің өзінде ыстық, ал мына тур Қазанға табылып қалды, міне алып кеттім. Біздің агенттікте менеджер отырған, сол кісі дұрыс маршрутты айтып берді, мен басында күмәндандым да, бірақ шынын айтайын – өкінген жоқпын. Қала әдемі, тарихи ғимараттар өте көп, күні бойы серуендедік, аяғымыз гуілдеп кетті, бірақ жағымды солай, білесіз бе. Маған Кул-Шариф мешіті ұнады, ішінде күмбезді зал және кілемнің иісі, салтанатты да тыныш, әсіресе таңертең ешкім жоқ кезде. Кемшілігінен тек ауа-райын айта аламын, дәл сол күні жаңбыр себелеп тұрды, жай ғана майдалап келекөрер жаңбыр, бірақ бұл да әсерді бұзбады өйткені бүкіл бағдарламаны үлгердік. Қайтарда пойызға кезектегі әбігер жүйкемізді тоздырды, вокзалға аз қалғанда кешігіп қала жаздадық (қасақана қате жазылған, ішіндегі шындық маңызды бәрібір!). Ал жалпы Ресей турист үшін ашық әрі жағымды болып шықты, бәрі таза, мәдениетті және өте сәндеу Қазан кешке жарықпен. Тағы да барар едім, құрғақ ауа-райын алып немесе кем дегенде резина етік, ал бағаға агентство бізді сақтандыру үшін қосқанына сенімдімін.

The manager put everything together quickly and competently, you can tell right away she knows her stuff — the hotel in Moscow turned out to be literally ten minutes from the metro and that saved all the plans.. the flight was delayed by two hours though but that's not really the agency's fault, everything else was solid, I'd download offline navigation for the city beforehand and honestly for that money I think the trip turned out perfect. Didn't expect such a nice vibe from the capital, the weather at the end of April was a pleasant surprise and I came back happy)))

it felt like I was in another time, of course it's not my first time in Moscow but this time the trip turned out differently. the embankments are clean and there are few people in April – we walked until exhaustion, and also the manager suggested going into that very coffee shop in the alley, I still remember the taste of that raf)) in short I came back in a positive mood, a five for sure

needed a route specifically within Russia and this firm was recommended, from their website I picked Peter. the weather in March deceived me, but in the Hermitage I stood by the Gioconda with tears - although of course she's not there and never was but the point is the same. the group turned out to be small so even on the excursion to Peterhof we didn't shove and had time to see everything I wanted. the most memorable was the terrible wind from the Neva right on Palace Square and the same day warmth in a cafe with a view of St Isaac's. the whims sometimes scare but I'm satisfied with the trip a full five with a bit extra

Went to Moscow through a local agency – everything was smooth, from the application process to the transfer, like a swiss watch, though I honestly didn't expect that level of organization from a trip around Russia. Train tickets, hotel five minutes from the metro, even the Kremlin tour had a decent guide who didn't whine about the crowds but was genuinely passionate about what he did, but then in the evening at the Bolshoi Theatre I almost had a cognitive dissonance – the ballet was so beautiful that I caught myself a couple of times thinking whether I was already asleep in the second act. Came back home absolutely satisfied, my head is still full of impressions and the noise of this huge city which I, frankly, used to underestimate, I reccomend everyone try this format – they arrange everything themselves, and you just relax.

Because of mom's anniversary I was thinking where to take her, she always dreamed of Moscow, so I tagged along with her and my husband. We booked a tour with the local guys in Almaty, because I heard from friends that they do trips properly, and honestly everything went smothly, even the weather was nice at the end of December, cold but sunny. Came back happy, so many impressions, especially Red Square at night glowing all lit up like garlands, and we finally skated at Gorky Park rink, I always wanted to do it there!

in November I took a trip to Piter through our agency and the manager helped me with everything on the route. Rain was pouring every evening but it was even atmospheric walked around the Hermitage until my legs fell off and then I discovered a wonderful cinnamon bun place in a courtyard on Pravdy street. was lush but my room in the hostel turned out to be tiny though for that price it's a sin to complain I'd go there again and didn't get to see the sea but Nevsky lit up in winter outshines any southern coast!!.

сочиге қараша айында бару екіұшты болып шықты, ауа райы сәтісздеу болды бірақ бұл агенттіктің кінәсі емес қой, менеджер қонақүй таңдап берді және жаңбырлы күндері не көруге болатынын айтып кеңес берді, рахмет соған шыдамдылығы үшін, қаланың өзі әдемі бірақ жағалау бос және жайсыз адамдарсыз, дегенмен біз бір күн шуақтыға тап болып, тіпті тауларды көрдік. жалпы үштікке нормал, мен теңізден көбірек күткен едім, бірақ демалыс үшін жарады. қанағаттанған күйде оралдым — ауыр әмияннан шаршаған, бірақ басым ашылды.

The tour company in Piter organized everything clearly, from the hotel to the Hermitage tickets — didn’t stress at all. The city is beautiful, but my legs got killed, in three days I walked more than in a month at home. Came back satisfied, definitely coming back again, this time in autumn.

I bought a tour to Peter, was completely delighted, and the weather at the end of August pleased, sun and +20. The program wasn't overloaded, which is rare, we managed the Hermitage and went to Peterhof too. The lines everywhere moved pretty briskly, I didn't even expect it, at the Russian Museum we stood for about 15 minutes — with water, true, but that's nothing. What stuck in my memory most was the Church of the Savior on Blood — the stained glass in the altar, I stared at it for like a minute, I literally caught my breath. The guide talked fast, but so grippingly about the streets and people's fates — you'd want to write it down. I want to separately praise the guide (she's in great physical shape, you can't keep up with her at crossings, or rather, it's me who crawled like a turtle). I came home, and I still have those bridges at sunset in my head — I came back from the trip in love all over again. Thank you agency for the clear organization, all transfers were on schedule, without a single hang-up.))

I was flying with a layover and was worried, but everything went well — the weather was great, I stuffed a whole bag with herbs and some kind of healing mud. The manager, who picked everything out for me, totally hit the mark, I came back feeling reborn after those mineral baths and walks.

Rested in Sochi, booked through an agency in Almaty, liked that everything was on point, no complaints about the hotel, the sea is clean, warm, weather is great. The only thing, one day it rained and we sat in the room, but it's a trifle, didn't affect the overall impression at all.

the heat was insane, but we still hung out on the beach until sunset, and then wandered along the promenade eating that corn, it really is tastier there than at home. went to Abkhazia for a day on a pretty minibus with an open top, my knees got sunburned after, but lake Ritsa is something else, though the wine at the tasting didn’t do it for me, sour crap. came back happy as a clam) and got my fill of the sea, and saw the mountains, bring lots of light clothes, I brought half my suitcase back untouched

went to Sochi through their agency, everything was arranged quickly, the manager picked the hotel and transfer, didn't even have to double-check anything. The trip itself was great, sea warm, city green, and the weather in June didn't let down — all ten days sun. excursions I booked right on the spot, the agency didn't push anything, but I also didn't look for any offers myself, just wanted to lie around. Rosa Khutor impressed me. came back happy

well, finally made it out, bought a tour to Sochi through a local agency and didn't regret it. everything was organized clearly, the transfer guy was waiting at the airport with a sign, now that's what I call service, though I'd have definitely gotten lost in those southern streets on my own. The manager picked such a programm for me that even the weather didn't let me down — I was worried about rain for nothing. the sea was warm like fresh milk, the stones on the beach literally burned my heels, but there were almost no lines for the cable car and the views from the top — wow. came back tanned and happy, already recommending this kind of vacation to everyone I know

Booked a tour to Kazan, wanted to surprise my mom for her birthday, she’d been dreaming of seeing the local kremlin forever. The manager from the agency called us the day before the flight, everything short and to the point, nice. The drive from the airport took a while, but the guide kept telling us about the local vibe the whole way so the time just flew. They put us up in the center – from the hotel window you could see that very leaning tower, I even poked the glass with my manicured finger like a kid (mom laughed). The tour itself is very packed, but the main thing is that feeling of walking through living history, not some picture off the internet. Tried chak-chak at a little shop, tasty, but sweeter than I expected, and the echpochmak just melts in your mouth, defenitely get some. The weather at the end of April was moody – sun one minute, rain the next, so I carried an umbrella around like a loyal tail, but it didn’t ruin the walks at all. Came back a bit tired, but with a bunch of photos and a couple of magnets, one of which already got lost in the depths of my bag. Not perfect on organization (the transfer on the last day was delayed by half an hour), but in terms of impressions a solid four!

Lived my life not even thinking, and then boom — off to Saint Petersburg. bought everything in advance, at the ticket office there probably wouldn't have been tickets to the Hermitage. Took a tour with a hotel so I wouldn't have to search for anything on the spot – and right, because the weather in January is something else.. Walked along Nevsky until I finally froze, went into a cafe and ate two soups. Liked nighttime Petersburg, when the embankment lights turn on and the city becomes so different you can't believe it. The palace in Peterhof is closed at this time, didn't get to see it, but the park is beautiful even in winter with its emptiness and snowdrifts. disappointed about one thing, the tour to the Peter and Paul Fortress – they rushed us through the halls too fast. Flew back and thought I should come again in spring, but on my own and without a tour, to have more freedom. Worth the money, it's the kind of trip I wanted

Bought an extra tour at a local agency in Kislovodsk, just grabbed their contact from the guesthouse owner where I crashed for the night. Wanted one day without guides, on my own, but the taxi driver quoted me three times the fair price and I figured it's easier to hop in their minivan. went to Berendeyevo gorge, the group was young, a couple of families with kids and me the one slowpoke who thinks mountains are shashlik and a sunset view… turns out the first crossing over the river, my sneakers turned to mush, but a girl from the next seat gave me duct tape, I wrapped them up and hopped over rocks fine after that. looking at the rocks was impossible because of the rocks themselves — I had to tilt my head way back, and then at the exit, at a stall I tried local honey in combs, that was genuinely awesome and my kid would've loved it for sure, didn't buy a whole tub, too much hassle to carry on the plane. came back tired but chilled, the organizers even stuck around till the end, showed a couple of landmarks, the driver didn't speed and I felt like I'd gone with a good buddy, not a tour company.

Decided to get my visa in Kazakhstan, they said it would be faster and simpler right from there, so that's why I went to this agency. Took a tour to Kazan for four days, thought it would just be museum hop and nothing else, but I came back really impressed. Yeah, the weather in November is meh, but the city is great — the embankment is empty, the kremlin is just mesmerizing, and the local echpochmak turned out tastier than at any bistro back home (though who would've thought).

we were picking online where to go for the november holidays and somehow just stumbled on kazan the city isnt new but id never been there and my husband neither. we went to the travel agency because we just had no strength left comparing all those websites prices are the same everywhere and here they just picked everything at once both tickets and housing. came back happy as a clam though usually after trips im always complaining about something but here even the rain that caught us on the last day didnt ruin the mood. what i remember most is not the kremlin and not the mosque but some tiny cafe where they make the tastiest echpochmak of my life warm straight out of the oven and thyme tea we actually went back there on purpose afterwards. we didnt spend that much money if you dont count my new leather bag bought at the market handmade, my husband didnt see the price and thats fine. the trip organization was clear all the transfers on time the info support replied while we were wandering around asking all kinds of nonsense like where the toilet is here. five points they deserve it because for such a short break everything fell into place perfectly and i finally got some sleep and recharged before work

Oh that was something)) a day on the train there and the same back, I thought I'd lose my mind from those dim little lights in the corridor, but Kislovodsk showed itself in full glory. The weather in November is a fairytale, cold but sunny, you breathe and your head spins from the air, I was literally drinking it and couldn't get enough, and the narzan has a hint of iron, it's very strange but they say it's healing and I bought three whole bottles to haul back for mom. In essentuky I found that very drinking gallery, stood in a crazy line (everyone with some kind of canisters, like it was milk back in the nineties), filled ice-cold water from the tap and warmed it against the radiator, because drinking it freezing is impossible, and probably not necessary either but good for me for trying

My parents wanted to celebrate their wedding anniversary at a sanatorium, I found this Kazakh agency through acquaintances and went to the Caucasian Mineral Waters. Prices at our local resorts bite, but here a package with travel and meals turned out even cheaper than renting accommodation on our own, so you understand the choice was obvious.

We went to Saint Petersburg kinda on a whim: mom always dreamed of seeing the drawbridges, and I was just packing her suitcase and in the end decided to tag along. I booked the tour with this agency specifically because my friend had everything go smoothly there with the paperwork, no stress and no extra calls to the office. Touched the railing at the Bronze Horseman for luck, ate so many pyshki I got hiccups, and came back home with the feeling that the city really is somehow especially stern, but at the same time insanely beautiful, though the weather in July didn't really spoil us, and for that a special thanks to the travel agency for organizing everything properly — can't complain).

Finally gathered enough courage with the family to head to the sea, and just in time I saved up and decided to go ahead and book a tour, wanted Sochi specifically because no need to deal with visas or going abroad, flights are short. Took it from the first agency I found in Almaty, no regrets, though I'm always suspicious of such places, but here everything was smooth, transfer met us on time, hotel turned out to be exactly what they promised on the site, sea nearby, that's the main thing. Came back satisfied and a bit sunburnt, first time in a long while actually exhaled, plus the kids loved the water park, so a solid four out of five.

Flew with my husband to Kazan, just wanted to escape Almaty for the weekend, and this route had no direct flights, well actually it did, but with a layover, so we took a tour to not bother with paperwork. Overall everything went smoothly, the transfer met us on time, the hotel though turned out to be farther from the kremlin than I thought, but that's on me for not checking the map, not the agency's fault. Came back happy, and the receipt justified itself, what impressed me most was the neat little courtyard with rope swings, we sat there till late, and never made it to the chak-chak museum — our unhurried walks everywhere turned out more interesting than any schedule ())).

Ezdili v Kislovodsk azh v fevrale, nado bylo mame na lechenie v sanatorii — vot i kupili v nashem agentstve srazu i putevku, i transfery, koroche vse produmali za nas i dazhe strahovku sami oformili, poka ya s raboty otprashivalas.

әкем бір мұраегрлік іс бойынша Мәскеуге барып қайтуды өтінді, ал ұшатын болған соң, мен қаланы да аралап жүрейін деп шештім, бақытымызға қарай турфирмамыз қонақүй мен аэропорттан трансфері бар қалыпты нұсқа тауып берді.
