The Almaty City Highlights Walking Tour with Chocolate Shop is a roughly three-hour guided walk through central Almaty, Kazakhstan, listed on Expedia. The booking page names no separate operator in the available listing data, so visitors should check the Expedia activity page for the company running the departure. The exact meeting point is given on the booking confirmation, and the route passes Green Bazaar (Zelenyi Bazaar) at 53 Zhibek Zholy Avenue, the city's main covered market. The walk mixes sightseeing with food stops rather than being a dedicated tasting menu. At Green Bazaar the group visits the market floor, where dried fruit, nuts, honey, dairy products and cured meats are sold, and a chocolate shop visit adds the sweet element of the tour. Savoury content is lighter than on a full food tour, and the optional paid add-ons expand it: a local food tasting costs $20 (about KZT 9,400) and a winery tasting costs $15 (about KZT 7,050). The base price starts from $20 per adult (about KZT 9,400), so the total ranges from about $20 up to around $55 per person when both add-ons are chosen. The listing includes the Green Bazaar stop, the chocolate shop visit and the optional food and wine tasting. It does not make clear whether transport is provided, and the route is described as a walking tour, so visitors should expect to cover the distances on foot. Group size, language and dietary substitutions are not stated in the listing data, so these should be confirmed with the booking page or the provider before the date, especially for vegetarian or dairy-free diners, since local snacks often contain meat and dairy. Almaty sits at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, and central streets are mostly flat, which keeps a three-hour walk manageable. The tour suits first-time visitors who want a short orientation with some local flavours at a modest price.
