One-of-a-kind experience of Central Mongolia - My son (8yo) and I had a wonderful 7 days in Central Mongolia in late-October. It was our first time to Mongolia so I decided to play it safe and pre-book airport transfer from/to UBN and it turned out to be the right decision. Our driver (the same one who went on the tour with us) was waiting for us inside the terminal and brought us to our hotel. There're no official taxis in UB (at least, you never see them) so make sure you pre-book your airport transfer. I had some ideas on how to structure the tour and did discuss them with Enza (owner) who was transparent and honest with her feedback. We’ve made some adjustments to the standard tour package, esp. around spending less time in UB and more time “on the road” and added one day which was great. Our local guides were really nice and went above and beyond to make the experience as memorable as possible for us. I feel we built a connection with these wonderful people throughout the tour, which really makes me want to come back. I liked being on a private tour as it gave us a greater amount of flexibility. This was especially important to me as I was travelling with a child. We never felt pressured to leave a place and had the flexibility to do lengthy stops when travelling. When booking the tour, I was a bit worried that it would be difficult to follow a vegetarian diet when in Mongolia. And yes, it wasn´t easy. Most places at which we´ve eaten didn´t have a single vegetarian option on the menu and it was our guide who called them in advance to make sure they prep a vegetarian meal for us. I strongly recommend to stock up on fruits and veg in UB, before going to the countryside. We had one night at a nomadic family and although the place was lacking basic facilities like running water and western style toilets, it was the most memorable one. If you book your tour, try settling for a mix of tourist campls, ger camps and nomadic family stays. The latter will give you the raw and authentic Mongolia experience.

Highly to recommend, sehr zu empfehlen - Good service from German speaking tour operator ENZA (lives in Germany) before the tour. Tour program very interesting and colorful - culture, nature, leisure, activities and recreation. The driver and guide spoke English and did his best to make us content. Four overnight stays in 3 different Ger camps with restrooms and showers to share were comfortable for Mongolian conditions. The night in a private family Ger camp was the best. We saw how they live and work. Even there was a modern toilet and an additional pit toilet, but no shower. For one night no problem cause there were huge water barrels to wash. I would do it again with ENZA TOURS

Actually 8 Days Central mongolia, but the option is not there, so meh! - Not much needs to be said ladies and gents, if you're planning on exploring Mongolia, and are in need of a guide, go with Enza Tours - regret it you shall not. The service is not only excellent at providing you with a unique and enriching experience, but also the guide goes out of his/her way to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the entire duration of the trip. Enza Tours LLC man, that's all I'm gonna say.
