Petroglyphs of Tanbaly Reviews

We really enjoyed the trip and felt it was one of the best things we did in Kazakhstan. The guide from the tour company - Samiya - was excellent, spoke very good English and very friendly. We had a very good driver. At the petroglyphs we had the good fortune to meet the museum director who took us around and shared lots of useful information with us. The local guide who took us around the site was also very good. The tour pick-up and rop-up was on time. The lunch provided was perfect. Great trip.
