Hi everyone! We have a one-day stopover in Almaty and are planning to visit Gunny Ethnic Village early spring. It’s just the three of us—two adults and a child. What’s the best way to get there and back? Can we use Yandex Taxi for the round trip? Would it be better to book a driver for the whole trip instead? We’re trying to avoid those big commercial day tours since we need to head back early to catch our evening flight. Appreciate your advice!

Using Yandex Taxi is definitely a good option. It’s usually cheaper than hiring a private car and driver for the whole day. However, you might want to confirm with the driver on your way there if they’re willing to wait or return later in the day—it’ll save you the hassle of finding another ride back. The journey from Almaty to the “Huns” Ethnic Village takes about 1.5 hours (approximately 52-53 km) along the Talgar Highway. Alternatively, you can take bus No. 224 from the “Sports Palace” stop in Almaty.

We’re also interested in visiting Gunny Ethnic Village on a day trip, but we’d like to go independently, not as part of a tour package. Does anyone know if prior booking is required? Or can we just show up? If anyone has contact details or knows the booking procedure, I’d appreciate it.

You don’t need a tour package to visit Gunny Ethnic Village. It’s open to everyone, and you can just show up without prior booking.
