Amazing Mongolia - Trekking to Tsetseegun peak and exploring around Mini Gobi were amazing. We could take so many lifetime pics. Thanks to Amicus travel for all the excellent services.

Fantastic Day Outside the City! - We had a fantastic experience on this trip. Our tour guide, Zaya, was awesome, accommodating, and helped us to do everything we wanted to do! She made this trip special and we can’t wait to come back to further explore the steppe. Highly recommend this day trip!

Amazing guide - Billy was a wonderful guide. Not only did he ensure that everything ran perfectly, but he was extremely knowledgeable and open. We learned so much, not only about Mongolia’s history, but also about life in the country today. He was flexible about our itinerary and persistent about getting us into places that were unexpectedly closed. Our driver was also amazing. He got us there quickly and safely, while still managing to point out horses and camels on the side of the road and pulling over for us to take photos. Overall, a great experience.

Great guide, fascinating history! - We (2 adults and a 7 & 9 yr old) had a fantastic day trip to the Genghis Khan complex statue and Terelj National Park. We had such a knowledgeable guide that spoke great English. Although we went in April when the country side was brown, the mountains and scenery were beautiful. The day was amazing and so fascinating to learn the Mongolian history. We would highly recommend this trip!

Most memorable holiday - We had the most memorable time of our lives. The driver and Deema, our guide, were very hospitable and helpful. They looked after us and made sure that all our needs were met and that we had special opportunities to do things outside the itinerary whenever possible. The driver would stop for us when we wanted to take pictures or fly the drone. Once a nomadic family invited us to their home by chance and we went with them. The experience turned out to be such a lovely surprise. It’s a trip we will remember forever. Thank you amicus travel. Highly recommend !

Billy is your guy - If you need a day trip outside of Mongolia then Billy would be your guy! Despite the rain on the day that we went to visit the Genghis Khan complex statue and Terelj National Park he managed everything smoothly. A very educational tour too!
He even apologized for coming in a few minutes late even though the set time was at 10:30am. He deserves his own set of stars separate from the review itself.
Thanks again for the memorable trip!
