Great tour of Ulaanbaatar

Oyvind_H, Jul 2025

I had a fantastic day around Ulaanbaatar with my guide and driver Bat. He took me to the main attractions, always very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!

Intro to Mongolia

Marjorie_D, Jun 2025

Can be personalized but I let my guides lead me on a wonderful adventure. Interesting to learn about the history of women in the culture. Buddhism here is different than others I’ve encountered. An unusual blend of Hinduism and Buddhism. I thought it’s incredible that Mongolia has such a rich history beyond the era of Genghis Khan. Sandwiched between two superpowers it maintains its identity. Unsurprising as it was once a superpower in its own right. Tuya is fun, speaks English well, and works hard to accommodate any needs or desires I had. She understood and liked my sense of humor. Not common when English is a third language. The Museum of Mongolian History gave me a background that will help me understand the rest of my time in Mongolia. A touch of religion, history, current political situation, and local market culture, a great introduction to modern Mongolia! Plus laugh inducing side knowledge about traffic, food, and lack of drive-thru coffee shops. An excellent introduction to an ancient culture.

Lovely city tour that covers most of the attractions

Safar_A, Jul 2024

I had a great tour, although there was an issue with my booking as I booked at the last minute. However, the agency was very professional and solved it quickly and sent me someone. We covered most of the city's famous attractions; the car is nice and clean and the driver is kind and welcoming. I recommend this tour if you want to save your time to explore the area by yourself.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Our day tour was excellent. Our guide, Tunya, was delightful, always helpful and willing to change the itinerary to suit our wishes. I could not recommend her, or the tour more highly. We saw all of the main sites in Ulaan Baatar and felt that we really had made the most of the day. Thank you, Tunya, Richard

This was a great way to get an introduction it UlaanBaatar. Our guide was a great English speaker, articulate and knowledgeable and able to share many insights he had into his homeland, as he himself had travelled. Enerel, our guide. was very willing to adapt to our needs and altered lunchtime as part of that. This trip set us up for our own exploration of the city and is really worthwhile.

Richard W, Jun 2017

This personalized trip is highly recommended. I had a few ideas in mind about what I wanted to see, and, after submitting them to the tour company, our guide put together a nice itinerary that included a visit to the Ger District, Sukhbator Central Square, the National History Museum, Zaisun Memorial, Golbi Factory Outlet and the Black Market. Plus we had a nice dumpling lunch too! Our guide was informative, patient and spoke excellent English. She even helped my girlfriend pick out a Cashmere sweater at the Golbi Outlet, which was much appreciated!
