Anar.

Anar is a freelance tour guide based in Almaty, where she was born and raised. She focuses on the city itself rather than wider regional trips, with a particular interest in the Golden Quarter and the old city center, which she describes as the soul of Almaty.

Her tours can extend beyond the walking route through the old city: she arranges visits to Medeu, Kok-Tobe Hill and Shymbulak on request, and is happy to build a day around Almaty's food scene or cultural life. She also helps travelers plan around the city's arts and theatre calendar, from the Kasteev picture gallery and the new Almaty Museum of Arts to performances at the Abay opera and ballet house, including ticket purchase and timing advice.

Anar guides personally and tailors the plan to what a guest wants to see, whether that is a short orientation walk or a fuller day combining sights, museums and an evening show. She presents her tours as a personal, local way of seeing Almaty rather than a standard sightseeing route.
