This 3-day, 2-night tour was an excellent start to our time in Mongolia. We could have rented a car, but I don’t recommend doing this as the places worth going have little signage, roads are not the smoothest, and getting through UB traffic will be daunting. Those factors made it nice to kick back and let a local do the driving while we sat back, asked questions about Mongolia, and took pictures of whatever we thought was interesting. Our guides, Dulguun and Sukh, we wonderful throughout the entire trip. Mongolia has a lot to offer in terms of physical geography and culture, but we wouldn’t have seen or learned half as much without their explanations. They truly enhanced our time in Mongolia beyond anything we could have done on our own. I’d strongly recommend this tour to anyone who has a fairly limited time in Mongolia or anyone who is planting their feet in UB for a few days. I found the experience well worth the cost.
This tour was one of the best we've been on. We've used Viator for 10 years and they never disappoint! Our guide Ashley, and our driver Tomor were friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable. The three days we spent with them were never rushed, leaving downtime between each event. The itinerary was diverse and intriguing with stops at Buddhist temples, ancient stones, national parks, popular tourist sites and natural phenomenons. The accommodations were rustic, but comfortable and the food was plentiful. At both camps, we were able to buy alcohol and souvenirs. There is no WiFi, but our tents had electricity so we could charge our phones. Our guide also accommodated our requests to stop at a grocery store or when we spotted a herd of yaks! I highly recommend this tour!
