Private Tour drive to Chinggis Khan Statue & Terelj National Park

JensPeter_O, Jul 2026

Great tour

It is a relaxing trip where you get your own driver. That means it can be flexible if you wish. Our driver was very helpful and had a great sense of humour. We saw what we hoped to see and avoided the riding, but that was our decision. Highly recommend this tour.

Genghis Khan Statue+Terelj Park+CamelRide+Eagle

Caitlin_H, Jul 2026

One of the best tours I’ve ever been on

This was an AMAZING experience!! Our tour guide Baga was so bright and amazing! He knew so much and was happy to answer any questions we had. He also found my classes in the middle of the field after they fell off during horseback riding. Very, very grateful. We did so much without feeling like it was too much. I felt like we saw so much of the countryside and got a great historic background. The car ride was about an hour out of Ulaanbatar, but the scenery was so nice it was good. We went to the Chinggis Kahn museum, dressed in traditional clothing, climbing the statue, held a falcon, did archery, rode a camel, rode a horse, had traditional Mongolian food, went to a national park, climbed turtle rock, and went to a beautiful temple. I loved chatting with the other people on the tour. Everyone was so friendly. 10/10 trip.

Five star service with personal touch!

Excellent introduction to the major sights around Ulaan Baatar. Jana was very knowledgeable and provided amazing insight through out our trip. We were traveling with small children and she was very patience and understanding. Hope to see you on some other trip when I am back. Won't hesitate to book again!

Cooking Class in a Traditional Ger Home in Ulaanbaatar Suburbs

Stephanie_I, Jun 2026

This tour starts with Soy...

This tour starts with Soy Bee greeting you at your hotel wearing traditional Mongolian clothing. We then went to Soy Bee's ger just on the outskirts of Ulaanbatar. Don't eat breakfast before this tour! We were presented with a huge breakfast of traditional Mongolian dairy products and breads and milk tea. Soy Bee doesn't just just show you how to cook traditional Mongolian food he also talks about Mongolian culture and food. Soy Bee is so passionate about his heritage, my husband and I learned so much about Mongolia . We learned to make traditional dumplings with sheep heart and tail fat. I admit I was a little nervous about eating sheep heart but the dumplings were absolutely delicious, they were better than any we had in restaurants. We also made a delicious soup with noodles and boiled mutton. We then learned how to play a traditional game using sheep bones. This cooking class was an incredible afternoon of great food, Mongolian hospitality and culture. I may not make the dishes we learned how to cook but I now have a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Mongolian culture and food.

Semi-Gobi and Kharkhorum overnight private trip

Randy_L, Apr 2026

Great guide

I had 3 tour guides while in Mongolia and Iggy (Erden) was definitely the best. He speaks English fluently and went to Univeristy of Las Vegas. I booked the chinggis khan statue/turtle rock tour as well as the overnight semi gobi/karakorum tour. They were both great. For the overnight semi gobi/karakorum tour, my main concern was making sure my 70 year old mother was going to be comfortable and avoid injury. It was comfortable being guided by Iggy. Frequent restroom stops, detailed knowledgeable explanations especially all my questions about the nomads and Mongolian culture. I also appreciated how after I told him we had lunch 2 days in a row with nomads he chose a restaurant instead for lunch for us. The semi gobi was pretty much what was described - a small gobi closer to the city. We skipped the camel riding option because I didn’t want my mom to have any accidents. Then we visited a nomad family that was used to having visitors. It was nice seeing them collect cashmere from the goats and taking pics with the animals. The animals there were amazing. One of the options for accommodations was to stay with that family in their guest ger but I’m glad we didn’t because it didn’t look too comfortable. Then after that he drove us to karakorum which was awesome to see the ancient capital of the mongols. Iggy was great at explaining things. Then I was a bit nervous about the accommodations (because I thought it was going to look like one of the typical gers the nomads stayed in) but it was a really nice ger resort that was very comfortable with private bathroom and heating. As well as a really nice restaurant with nice food that was pre ordered for us by Iggy. It was the best meal I had in Mongolia. One of my favorite things at the resort was to borrow their traditional Mongolian costumes and walk around taking pictures. It was nice to spend a night there, then in the morning there was breakfast then Iggy came to get us and we headed back to UB. Good amount of bathroom breaks, then lunch was included on the way back, then got back to UB. Overall Iggy had the best explanations, timing, and quality - I felt comfortable and safe bringing my 70 year old mom along to experience Mongolia. Would definitely recommend him to others !

BEST 5* Chinggis Khaan Airport UBN Ulaanbaatar Transfer Taxi 24/7

MyungHee_H, Mar 2026

Great Price and Smooth Ride

This company is very professional. Before our arrival to Mongolia, they WhatsApped me informing me Bayaraa will be our driver and will be waiting. Sure enough, Bayaraa was waiting with a sign with my name right in the arrival hall. Bayaraa spoke good English, and he was very courteous and professional. He made us feel wonderful that we also booked next trip to the airport with this company. I highly recommend this company without a reservation.

Genghis Khan Statue Complex plus bonus of Terelj National Park

Hector_S, Feb 2026

Father son trip.

We had an outstanding experience on our trip yesterday. It was just me and my son, and our driver was absolutely top notch—professional, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. Not stuffy at all. He was more than willing to educate us about the area, culture, and daily life, and we were happy to listen and learn. We shared music along the way—both traditional and contemporary—which made the drive even better. We also exchanged ideas and a bit of language, which my son especially enjoyed. It felt less like a ride and more like a cultural exchange. Highly recommend to anyone traveling with family or looking for more than just transportation. Only “complaint” is the steep price. I think $50 could be easily shaved off.

A day trip to Terelj National Park and Statue of Chinggis Khan

Robert_B, Dec 2025

This was a great trip. ...

This was a great trip. Navigating traffic in Ulaan Baatar is always a struggle but my guide was patient, efficient, and safe. His English was excellent and we had great conversations about life in Mongolia and my home in Canada. The Chinggis Khaan statue is enormous. I think we were the only ones there that day probably because it was -25C that morning. We had a light lunch in a nomad’s ger where we were served Mongolian fried rice and hot milk. Just the perfect lunch on a cold day. We went to the Meditation Temple but didn’t make the short climb because of the cold and wind. It was a truly enjoyable trip.

Suheil_P, Oct 2025

Byambasuren you are the best.

I had a truly wonderful experience exploring Ulaanbaatar and its surroundings with Byamba. He was exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the trip, making my time in Mongolia memorable and enjoyable. Byamba took me to see the magnificent Chinggis Khan Statue Complex, the beautiful Terelj National Park, Zaisan Hill Monument. He even took me to tradional dance Mongolian which was amazing and is recommend and several local highlights around the city. He shared fascinating insights about Mongolian history, culture, and daily life, which really brought each place to life. What stood out most was his genuine kindness and willingness to help with anything I needed from taking great photos to ensuring I was comfortable at all times. His professionalism, patience, and warm personality made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Byamba to anyone visiting Mongolia. He’s not just a guide he’s someone who makes you feel welcome, looked after, and connected to this incredible country. Thank you so much Byamba.

Private Jeep City tour with English Speaking Driver

Bruce_K, Aug 2025

Outstanding full day tour of Ulaanbaatar

We had an outstanding full day tour of the highlights of Ulaanbaatar with our driver / guide Byambaa on our first day in Mongolia. He timely picked us up at our hotel and took us to all of the main attractions in the city as well as a few additional sites that we wanted to see. He was great at explaining the history and culture and answering our questions. He was happy to spend as much time as we wanted at any location and to customize the itinerary to our wishes. He was personable and friendly and fun to spend the day with. We highly recommend this tour for a terrific day in Ulaanbaatar!
