    The tour was excellent in all aspects. Due to logistics, we had to adjust our travel times slightly and Mendee, at Tour Mongolia, was very helpful in making suggestions and the necessary changes. He went a step further in helping us arrange PCR tests that we needed for our next destination. He even brought the test results to our hotel! The 3-day tour was perfect: good vehicle, knowledgeable and friendly guide (Mendee) and driver, and a good combination of experiences to let us get a good sense of Mongolia's nomadic lifestyle, and also understand a bit about modern-day Mongolia and life in Ulaanbaatar. Our tour was with family stays - and even though it is a bit more rustic than staying at tourist camps, we DEFINITELY recommend this to get a real sense of the nomas lifestyle and experience true Mongolian hospitality. We would never trade that for a warm shower! Eating a real Mongolian barbecue, helping with some of the household chores and sharing candy with an adorable your child, were UNBEATABLE experience. Of course, the barren, awe-inspiring landscapes were just the icing on the cake. It is harder to think of how impactful and wonderful of an experience one cn have in three days! Memories for life!! Thank you Tour Mongolia, Mendee, and Mongolia!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is a wonderful tour if you really want to get to know the lifestyle and people of the Mongolians steppe. Bimbaa was a wonderful guide who spoke very good English and offered lots of information. We loved visiting with the family and experiencing all the activities with the first ger stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the camel ride with the second year family, but had nothing to do for most of the afternoon and evening. I would suggest more interactive experiences with the second stay. Also, please see that clients have more water made available to them.
