Must better than expected of predicted - This tour company exceeded my expectations in all ways. I went for the Naadam Festival and toured all the sites around Mongolia the previous week (12 days total). I was with an extremely competent guide and driver the whole time. Both went above & beyond to provide top notch service. I most appreciated the flexibility as I was able to change the itinerary and schedule to what was convenient for me. All the yurt camps were of high quality, very clean and also extremely service oriented. Also, my hotel stay in Ulan Bator was exceptional with attention to detail to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. No wonder their customer ratings are so high - they work to keep it that way! Thank you for a great trip to Mongolia!

Terelj National Day Tour - An amazing day with Travel Buddies. We were able to customize our tour regarding pick up time, dietary restrictions and specific activities. Our guide, Aki, was very knowledgeable, flexible, and funny. Lunch with a nomadic family, a leisurely horseback ride, Turtle Rock, a hike to the meditation center and frequent photo stops were just a part of a great day. On the way back to Ulaanbaatar my friend and I took a nap and Aki and our driver kept their voices low while they were talking so they would not disturb us. Thank you to Travel Buddies for a beautiful day.

Great day out. - Picked up on time. Long drive to Genghis Khan Statue. Fantastic tour guide who was very informative re history of Mongolia. Very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. Meeting the nomad family was quiet an experience. They went out of their way to provide me with a vegetarian meal. The kids were adorable, so happy. The visit to the meditation temple was a delight. Beautiful building and surrounds. Great view too. The Terelj national park was amazing. I had a great day, thanks.

Amazing horseback ride experience - Excellent day trip and fantastic service. Travel Buddied were in the constant contact with me prior to our trip to make sure everything would be prepared. Out tour guide Miye was entertaining us with a bunch of interesting stories and historical facts. The highlight of the day was of course visit to traditional Ger and horseback ride. Magical and unforgettable! However, what made me point the excellence of the tour, was when my friend fall asleep in the car and out driver Muggi and Miye stopped chatting to let her rest. I was very nicely surprised, because those small details make the experience even better. Definitely exceeding our expectations! Thank you for the amazing memories!

Fantastic and varied 1-day trip - Our tour guide, Mona, was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun to be around! Made a highway stop to write camels and hold eagles on the way out to the Genghis Khan statue, where Mona gave some context both for the Mongol empire and the modern state of Mongolia. Had a blast in the gorgeous Terelj National Park, had a delicious traditional lunch of noodles and yak milk in a ger, rode horses, climbed turtle rock and hiked up to the monastery where we took a relaxing nap on the hillside. Fantastic value, a great way to get out into the countryside on a single day trip. Returned to the city center by 7:30/8pm.
