Great Experience in Mongolia - We went as group of 4. The weather back then was great. It was warm and sunny. The accommodation also great. We did have lots of fun with our tour leader Ms Chuluuma while visiting Turtle Rocks, Temple and Genghis Khan Complex. The car also spacious and they provide water bottles for all passengers which was very nice. Totally recommended!

10 day Mongolia tour - We did a private 10 day tour with Chuuki as our guide and Battogtokh as our driver. They made such a great team and were both full of energy. Always jovial and making us feel right at home. Thankful to them for taking good care of us. We had a lovely time meeting nomadic families, trying different foods and riding camels and horses. Can't wait to get back to Mongolia and explore its other regions.

A trip of a lifetime! - What what a wonderful time we had on our tour. Maggie, our tour guide was amazing and took very good care of us. There were several unexpected issues that arose and she managed them beautifully. You are fortunate to have her as a part of Amicus. All three of our drivers were so helpful, polite, and a pleasure to be around. When we came across a river that had been formed the night before by a unexpected flash flood our drivers carried our luggage on their backs through the mud and escorted us to safety. They were truly resilient and did not rest until the job was done! My husband calls them heroes. We would recommend Amicus Travel and the their Mongolian tours highly. You will not be disappointed.

The best trip ever — Mongolia!! 110% worth it! If you’re thinking about traveling to Mongolia— do it! - Not only was Mongolia the best trip I have had outside of the United States, but the service of our tour guide and driver was wonderful! You could tell they put in loads of work to make the trip as informational as we wanted. Haliunan (our tour guide) honestly made the experience better than we could have ever done on our own navigations. Also if you are looking to travel from the U.S. Haliunan (our tour guide) spoke perfect English and made communication great. We wanted to try and get the most authentic trip and taste of Mongolia and that is what we got. We were given options to pick some days for things to do which made the experience even more personalized!

Billy from Amicus! He’s your guy! - We did not forget. Billy came to us with sincerity as a person and a professional as a business owner. Thank you! Our concern was the time of our pick up and the lack of communication from our tour guide. He himself came to the rescue. The confirmed reservation was indeed there but the time they got the booking email it was then a little late but then again, he showed up, and that’s all that mattered. We can blame ourselves for booking in such short notice. After the proper introduction and miscommunications everything else was truly A+++ amazing. From visiting the mighty Genghis Khan statue paired up with a cup of coffee (you deserved that hot cup of coffee, sir!) inside the Gorkhi-Terelj National park and the provide lunch was indeed an experience. One of the best part of the tour was the Aryabal Meditation temple inside the park! He gave us some tips and pointers on how to climb the flight of stairs. Those words that we chant were powerful and truly effective. We learned a lot from Billy and even up until now we still talk about the tour. And let’s not forget the part that he busted out the umbrella numerous times due to the rainy weather. What a true gentleman. Our sincerest apologies for having to write this review extremely late. It was September of 2023. We did not forget. Thanks again, Billy! John and Joyce

Mongolia - The Vacation You’ve Always Needed - Hands down the best tour I have ever done. If I could rate our tour 10 stars, I would! Our guide Haliun (Holly), and our driver Erick were phenomenal. Holly was very knowledgeable on any and all questions we had on the history of Mongolia. We toured the mini Gobi desert, rode camels, and stayed at the Bayan Gobi camp in a traditional Mongolian Ger. Our Ger was very clean, and our guide Holly provided accurate and specific details on everything pertaining to the area we were located. She was also very accommodating and pleasant to travel with. The next day, we traveled forward to Kharkhorin city where we stopped at a museum, visited the ancient ruins, and explored the Buddhist temples located at the site. Afterwards, we traveled to Ugii Lake where we stayed at the Ugii Lake tourist camp. Here, we stayed in another Ger, with lakefront views and a mountainous landscape on the horizon. Holly and Erick, again, were very accommodating and allowed us the opportunity to visit a nomadic family where we were welcomed with milk tea, and aaruul. The following day, we visited the Hustai National Park where we rode beautiful wild horses while enjoying the serene, and beautiful landscape of the National Park. While settling in for the night, we enjoyed the warm crackling fire from our stove within the Ger keeping us warm throughout the evening into the next morning. Our final day on the tour we visited numerous sites within Ulaanbaatar to include a Soviet Mosaic, National History Museum, and Sukhbaatar Square. Holly described the history to us of each building, monument, statue and location we visited. The food during our entire trip was phenomenal. Each meal was cooked and prepared very quickly, and healthy providing us with the energy needed to explore the beautiful country of Mongolia. We were provided with meals that met each and everyone’s dietary needs, and Holly made sure we were accommodated based on that. Protein, vegetables, fruits, healthy carbs including an assortment of teas, and other local drinks ensured our meals were the best. Unfortunately, our trip concluded after four days but I wish we stayed longer. The Mongolian people are very proud of their history, and are a very generous, and kind people to foreigners. We enjoyed every second of our stay and plan on visiting Mongolian again. Without a doubt, if you choose this tour, ask for Haliun (Holly) to be your guide. She is hands down the BEST of the BEST when it comes to traveling Mongolia. Thank you, Mongolia. I hope to visit you again soon. баярлалаа! -Chris

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!
