experience traditional food, and get a better understanding of local culture during our short stay in Almaty. One of the hardest things to do when traveling with friends or family is meeting locals, so we were excited to see that Friendly Tours offers this neat experience. We had a wonderful time with Olya and her family! The food was delicious, and they were very accommodating when we were late due to a plane delay and traffic.\n\nScheduling the dinner was incredibly easy as Friendly Tours was responsive via email and worked around our flight arrival time when scheduling the dinner.
