Great day trip to see the scenery - English speaking tour guide was super helpful and easy to converse with, horses are very safe, stunning national park, turtle rock and Chinggis Khan statue complex are great stops! Lunch was good! A winner across the board. Just be ready for UB traffic on the way back lol. Nothing the tour can do about that!

Really cool experience - We had a really good time with Belgudei. The nature at the park was amazing and really calmed us down after a while.

Brilliant scenery and tourguide! - The scenery on the road and in the park was amazing!!! It is always brilliant to relax in such beautiful nature after working days :) The arrangement was reasonable, the day was full, and many attractions were viewed without becoming tired. The steel Chinggis Khaan Statue was very stunning and the view from the top of the statue was excellent. The horseriding across the hills and bush was chilled and tranquil. The tour guide Belgudei was very professional and friendly, spoke very fluent English, caring and drives very well :D Highly recommended!

Great experience, I recommend - I’m very happy with this tour. The guides were very nice and accommodating and even sent a car to pick me up when they realized I got into the wrong bus. The group was small too (only 4 pax) and around the same age, so great bonding experience.

I was able to experience efficiently that this is Mongolia. - I made a Reservation online the night before. We had a smooth rendezvous via email and a schedule. The tour was as flexible as a private tour with only these two people with Reservations.  At the museum attached to the Genghis Khan statue, where we stopped, we also had an easy-to-understand Guide. Lunch was interesting, such as salty milk tea. They also took time to experience horseback riding.  Thanks to Mr. Namsrai, who was in charge, it was a fulfilling sightseeing experience.

Escape from the city for half a day and enjoy nature and beautiful landscapes - Terelj National Park Morning Horseback Ride Horseback Riding Sat, Aug 10, 2024, 8:00 AM English - Guide It was a morning trip on a Sunday morning. We are a couple, and there was another couple in our van. The trip was very well timed, and we got what we expected. We first were a bit scared because we had not any previous expierence riding the horse or mountain climbing (which was optional), but we managed with both very successfully: we climed on the Turtke rock and rided the horses, and it was marvellous. Our guide was a young guy, very friendly and helpful in every way. We recommend this tour to those who would love to escape from the city for half a day and enjoy nature and beautiful landscapes.

Full experience horseback riding tour - We thought it was a group, but when we went on the day, it was apparently a private tour, with no one else around! The Guide was also the driver and told us a lot about Mongolia, so we had a great time along the way. I heard lunch was easy but firm. We had plenty of time to ride, so we were very happy. Recommendation for those interested in horseback riding or those who like small group tours.

one-day excursion Gorkhi-Terelj - My guide Andy was really nice and have a lot of mongolian experience to share. The National Park Gorkhi-Terelj is beautiful and closed to UB, so perfect for the one day excurtion. Horse was nice, so pleasant tour with him and the guide.

Caveat Emptor- Tour Did Not Reflect Advertised Itinerary - Overall, this tour was disappointing. To begin, the tour did not go according to the itinerary as advertised. The tour advertised a morning horseback ride through Terelj National Park, but we began the tour at the Chinggis Khan Statue Complex, which was supposed to be visited in the afternoon. It's possible there may have been an issue with the horses in the morning, but the tour guide didn't provide an explanation for the change. Second, contrary to the tour package, no helmets were available or offered for the horseback ride. The owner of the horses didn't speak English and got annoyed/frustrated with us when those of us on the tour didn't understand his instructions. The actual tour guide didn't join because there weren't enough horses. Probably best to have the company's tour guide join, especially if it is known that the horse owner doesn't speak English. Third, the horseback ride got cut short because one of the horses got spooked and the person on that horse fell off, no fault of that person. For about 30-40 minutes we traversed what seemed like the backyard of a community of Gers and never ventured into the forest to observe the natural scenery as advertised by the photos. Fourth, communication was spotty with the tour company. The itinerary said the pickup would be at 0800 in the hotel lobby. But no one showed up in the lobby at 0800. When I contacted the tour company, they said a notice had been sent that the pickup time got pushed to 0900. I didn't receive such a notice. It's possible technological issues played a factor, but I didn't hear about the change. Fifth, the tour guide, while very friendly and kind, was inexperienced. He took a hands-off approach and let us roam the Chinggis Khan Statue complex, when he should have taken us through the exhibits providing background regarding the artifacts. When asked, he did provide information, but those of us on the tour had to inquire first. All that said, it was a neat experience seeing Mongolia and one of its national parks. The tour guide did give us latitude to let us stop at various places we wanted to take photos and was good about fielding our questions. He also made sure we were comfortable and had ample time to take photos. With more experience, I'm sure he can be an even better tour guide.
