An enriching and memorable experience - I booked this tour just the day before but the provider was very kind to accommodate me. The tour starts at 1 pm which is not like usual tours however we managed to cover all the points of interest. I happened to be the only one in the tour so it was a pleasantly private tour by accident, I had a driver and tour guide to take me for the day. Special mention for the tour guide Bat for going above and beyond to ensure I leave feeling satisfied about the experience (the pictures were taken by him). We also climbed the back of the turtle rock however for this, in my opinion is quite dangerous since it was very steep and literally like unguarded rockclimbing (not recommended for older people) I recommend that the tour company maybe print out some explanations about points of interest since there was not as much detailed explanation for clients to read, and provide more guidance for the tour guide since he seem to operate without much guidance regarding explaining each point of interest / safety and seem to work very long hours without much break

Perfect Introduction to Mongolia - Our guide, Belgudei, was perfect. He spoke excellent English, he was a safe driver and he answered 100+ questions that we had about Mongolian history, traditions and culture. He made sure that we were always comfortable and safe.

Great way to spend a day away from Ulaanbaatar - This was a wonderful trip and my guide/driver Namsrai was great. We had a great local lunch to start. We went to the statue and climbed to the top. The views were great. Then we headed to the national park, climbed turtle rock, and hiked to the Buddhist temple. More great views. I highly recommend this trip.

Great day out from Ulaanbaatar - This was an awesome tour. My guide/driver Namsrai was great. He was prompt in picking me up and as I was the only one on the tour that day he was wonderful in his conversation and explanations. The statue, turtle rock, and the Buddhist temple were all beautiful. I highly recommend this tour.
