Totally worth it - It was a beautiful and easy way to get a more proper insight into Mongolia. Both my guide Tsoki and the driver Zoloo were extremely kind and making all possible effort so that I could feel comfortable and see the places of my interest. The monastery at Erdenne Zuu is extraordinary and itself already worth the journey. The yurt campsite was also very interesting and there was a live music performance at night.

Amazing taste of this ancient culture! - We had a great time on this tour! Our guide, Urtnasan, and driver, Tsgmed Tseegii, were so positive and enthusiastic. They took our picture all the time, and we were happy to indulge in selfies with them. We were impressed with Urtnasan’s English, having only studied for about 3 years. It should be noted we did all the things listed in the tour description, but just not in the same order. This could have been due to us going in November which was definitely not peak season. We particularly enjoyed the frost-covered desert, camel ride, and staying overnight in the ger (which was very warm!) Should be noted the roads in Mongolia are rough, so if you get easily carsick, you may struggle, though we had no issue with this. Tsgmed surely made it a smoother ride than we could have done ourselves, especially in the crazy, city rush hour traffic. Overall recommend!

Interesting Trip - It was interesting to see the vastness of Central Mongolia. The wheat fields were huge. The camel ride was great. They were so gentle and fluffy.

Good trip to the steppe west of UB - A good guide and a good trip. Things went smoothly, was pretty well organised. Guide spoke English well We did most of the activities on day 1. Day 2 was lunch, Hustai and driving. This was largely due to spending about 3 hours getting back into UB due to congestion 4 stars because we didn't do the lookout or meet the nomads (went in their house but they weren't home). I also felt the communication could slightly be improved - outline the plan for the day, how much time we have and until the next stop, toilet locations etc. These are minor improvements, overall a very good experience

Exhausting drives, but worth it. Highlights were the camel ride and our tour guides! - The camel ride and the time to Kharakorum. Unfortunately, the drive time was very long but through no fault of the tour guides--it's just the vastness of the Mongolia! The gur (sp?) experience was unique, but probably not one that I'd wish to repeat. Our tour guides were warm and friendly and took good care of us.

Choose another tour - I would not recommend this tour to friends or family. While there were parts that were great (seeing Mongolian country side and staying in Yert) it is definitely not worth the money. This tour could have operated at 1/3rd of the price charged. Both days were taken up by driving in a squished van, food would have been worth no more than $30 AUD in total. I will say that the guide tried his best but really didn’t understand much of what was being asked (I.e., information about the day and what was happening next).
