Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Could I bring my 10-year-old?

A: No specific age limit! Families are welcome, and kids really enjoy the petroglyphs at Tanbaly. Just keep in mind that some parts of the tour involve walking over uneven terrain, so good shoes are a must. Overall, it’s a great learning experience for kids and adults alike!

Q: What should we wear for this tour, especially if it rains?

A: Dress in layers, since it can get chilly by the Ili River! If rain is in the forecast, waterproof jackets and sturdy shoes are a must. The tour goes on rain or shine, but they might adjust the itinerary a bit if the weather gets too rough.

Q: How easy is parking at the meeting point in NYC?

Just did the Tanbaly and Tamgaly tour—amazing experience!

I recently went on the Explore Tanbaly and Tamgaly Tas tour, and wow, it was so worth it! The petroglyphs at Tanbaly were mind-blowing, and the guide really brought the stories to life. If you love history and nature, you have to check this out. Just be ready for some walking, but the scenery is breathtaking! I went with my partner, and we both had an incredible time.

Thinking of gifting this tour, how was the food?

I want to surprise my dad with this tour as he loves exploring ancient cultures. How's the food situation? Does the tour include any meals or stops at good local spots? Would love to hear from anyone who's done it!
