Astana: Back to USSR – Gulag Museum with Certified Guide
1.Back to USSR – Gulag Museum with Certified Guide
Travel from Astana to Karaganda and Dolinka with an English-speaking guide such as Abzal, Kadyrbek, or Sultan. Visit the KarLag Museum for a two-hour account of Stalin-era forced labor camps, eat a traditional Russian lunch, and see Soviet monuments linked to coal mining, space travel, and political history.
“As a whole I think this tour is well planned and very convenient for travellers staying in Astana and wishing to see Karlag. My friendly guide and driver Abzal was very informative and great company for the drive to Karagandy. Once at the Museum my tour guide Maria took great care in delivering highly detailed and well researched information about the camp and the people who were held there. She answered every question I had, even the very tricky ones. After the museum Abzal joined for lunch at a traditional Russian restaurant and we toured the city stopping to view sold Soviet era statues. I would highly recommend this tour…”
