A highly enjoyable experience, overall - Because public transportation in Ulaanbaatar is limited to a few bus lines and taxis are not clearly marked, you really need a private driver to take you around the city to see the major sites. My driver was very friendly and was happy to accommodate whatever requests I had. One museum was unexpectedly closed so we spent more time in the market, which was fine by me. I prefer the market anyway. The only criticism I have is of the newly constructed Chinggis Khaan Museum, which is a beautiful, multi-million-dollar structure housing many artifacts and artworks on multiple floors. It never occurred to the curator of the museum to add English-language explanations of any of the exhibits. Everything is written in Mongolian Cyrillic and the traditional Mongolian script, making it inaccessible to European and North American tourists. Why the curator did this was never made clear, but since the museum will probably be visited by mostly tourists, so the tourism industry needs to rethink how they will make the Chinggis Khaan Museum more accessible to foreign tourists —but this is more a criticism of the museum and not a criticism of the tour guide. I enjoyed the tour, overall.

A Must-See Tour - I recently took a city tour with my friends in Ulaanbaatar and loved it! We visited historical sites like Gandan Monastery and Bogd Khan Palace, enjoyed stunning views from Zaisan Hill, shopped at Narantuul Market, and learned about the Mongol Empire at the Chinggis Khaan Museum. It was a perfect introduction to the city's culture and history. Highly recommend!

Trip in Ulaanbaatar - My trip to Ulaanbaatar was absolutely fantastic! The city’s vibrant mix of history and culture was fascinating, but the real highlight was our amazing tour guide. They were incredibly knowledgeable about Mongolian history, local traditions, and the city’s key landmarks. What impressed me the most was their ability to speak so many languages fluently, making everyone feel comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. From the Gandan Monastery to the rich stories of the Great Khans, the guide made everything come to life with their insights.It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ulaanbaatar!

Ulaanbaatar - Our guide Tooey brought us on a fantastic tour of Ulaanbaatar! He taught us so much about the city including food and culture. We only had 2 days in Ulaanbaatar but through this tour we were able to make the most of our time and see many sites. This tour made our trip to Ulaanbaatar extra special and was the favorite part of our trip to Mongolia. He helped us capture great pictures and memories of our time in Ulaanbaatar! Shout out to our driver as well!!

Lovely city tour that covers most of the attractions - I had a great tour, although there was an issue with my booking as I booked at the last minute. However, the agency was very professional and solved it quickly and sent me someone. We covered most of the city's famous attractions; the car is nice and clean and the driver is kind and welcoming. I recommend this tour if you want to save your time to explore the area by yourself.

Perfect Way to Discover Ulaanbaatar - Our City Tour was absolutely perfect! Our guide, CJ was incredibly friendly and shared fascinating stories about the city’s history and culture. Highlights included the serene Gandan Monastery, the iconic Chinggis Square, and the insightful National Museum of Mongolia. We also made a buch of other stops, but it would take a whole blog for me to describe the experience. The tour was very smooth and well-organized, with comfortable transport and a delicious traditional lunch. We had just the right amount of time at each stop to soak in the atmosphere. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the best of Ulaanbaatar!
