Explera planned our Almaty holiday end to end — flights, 3★, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

★★★★★
Our trip with friends to Almaty was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 5-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
