5.00I had a really wonderful experience on this tour - I got lucky and the other people signed up for the tour did not show up, so it turned into a private tour. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and allowed me to extend the tour beyond the Summer Express. I would highly recommend this tour company!
Insightful Tour

5.00Since the huge Ghengis Khan statue is about an hour away from the city and public transportation to the statue appears nonexistent, I decided to book this tour, and I'm glad I did. Bat, my tour guide, was very knowledgeable about his history and thoroughly answered all of my questions. I also liked that he wasn't pushy about buying souvenirs as some guides can be since they get a commission - Bat wasn't like that at all. I would recommend this tour to friends and family.
Impeccable service.

5.00What a great day. It is hard to see much of Mongolia in only a short 3 day visit and I really appreciate the itinerary that got me out of the city to see a few things for the day. Thank you to Bat for his knowledge and attention. He was interesting and friendly through out and I had a great day and will definitely recommend the tour and him to friends who may visit Mongolia.
