You can get a city bus out to Medeu Stairs and Big Almaty lake pretty easy (or at least could before the pandemic) - you don't really need a tour or anything for those. Don't know about farther out, though, but Almaty infrastructure is good, so I'm sure there are

I also enjoyed the State Museum, Kok Tobe, Panfilov Park/Zenkov Cathedral. If you're into that kind of thing, the Folk Music Museum off Panfilov Park is awesome. Just wander around. I thought Almaty felt like a Kazakh Seattle. Oh, also def get the 2gis app for busses, works great all over Central Asia
