Amazing experience beyond expectations! - The guide Bachi Nyangar was simply amazing! Extremly knowledgable about the history, sights, great English language skills. The tour was perfectly fitting to the description. Amazing sighting of a buddhist temple in the national park Terelj. The experience was just beyond our expectation! Thank you so much! Highly recommended! A+++++

The statue is truly amazing, the view breathtaking - I got my picture taken with a golden eagle and Mongolian steed just outside, one of the best photos I have!
I actually traveled in November 2018!

A Great Day with an Even Greater Guide - My tour guide showed up 10 minutes early, and I was surprised to find out I was the only traveler in the group. Aside from being exceptionally safe driving in a comfortable car, the guide spoke excellent English and started off by asking what I needed. He went with me to a bank to exchange money, took me to a supermarket to get cheaper supplies (drinks and snacks) for my day trip, and did everything possible to make my day better. I truly appreciated his firsthand knowledge and tips on what to avoid and what was a good deal.

This is a 'must do' when visiting Mongolia! - Visiting the Genghis Khan Statue Complex is definitely a 'must do'. The National Park is also worth a visit as it is close by. About an hour or so out of Ulaanbataar it is a very imposing structure and a great view can be had from the horse's head that is accessed by elevator inside the structure. There is a museum in the base of the structure which is also worth visiting. Would highly recommend visitors do not miss an opportunity to visit. We had a driver so we could stop here and there but a coach would also be fine.

Great experience! - We had a private tour and enjoyed it very much! Our driver/guide told us a lot on the way and tried to answer all of our questions. Unfortunately the roads were not so great, so we had to take a few detours. Our guide/driver took us to the Chinggis Khan monument, the Gorkhi Terelj National Park and the Aryapala Temple. We had a nice lunch in a traditional yurt and we saw yaks, horses, camels, sheep, eagles, goats, and other animals throughout the day. We also saw the turtle rock and other rock formations. All in all a great day out! Thank you :-)

Your in Mongolia - We had such a good time without Bat! He was entertaining and informative and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Just FYI for vegetarians, Bat called ahead to our hosts for lunch at the yurt and we had a wonderful meatless noodle dish for lunch!

Avoid it! There is no agency support, we were left to hitchhike! - We were with other two tourists when the minivan got broken at the Terelj Park, so we were LEFT without support from the agency in Ulan Bator. The (independent) guide needed to HITCHHIKE alone at the road to get us back to Ulan Bator since "the company said they would not arrange any car to get us back!!!". Unbelievable!! We (5 people) got back to the city (around 1h30min ride) in a car of a STRANGER and his friend (7 people in a small car!!!) because the agency gave no further support. Of course, mechanical problems can happen to anyone but what is unacceptable is to be unaccountable for your guests and leave them in such a situation.
Up to today, I have not received any explanation or apology even though I did get in contact with the company expressing how unacceptable this situation was.
For such an expensive tour (for Mongolian price standards a truly rip-off) we expect more, and at least not to be left in the middle of the tour to get back to the city like HITCHHIKERS. I will spare the comments about the trip itself since how it turned out was by far the most unpleasant fact.
You better find a reliable freelancer guide to visit those attractions. The landscape in Mongolia is genuinely breathtaking, and to enjoy so, you should be in better hands.
