Traveler Reviews
-
The itinerary is very flexible and we can choose the route what we like. Not only experience the life of local Nomadic family, but also saw many beautiful views of Mongolia, as well as many interesting activities such as riding camels, horseback riding, boating, and you, can also enjoy the traditional Mongolia music, like throat singing, horse fiddle. The tour guide and the driver are very warm and helpful. A very rewarding trip.

Great experience, right from airport pickup through to dropoff, includes Ulaanbaatar's main tourist interests, some great national parks and scenery, beautiful monasteries, visits to museums with artefacts not only from Mongol empires over the ages but 40,000 years ago, cultural extravaganzas, food, music, and a total immersion into the Mongol way of life to the extent you'd like it to be. Great guide and driver in Orgil and Rinchen Dorje respectively. Highly recommended. Covers everything from big city lights to Terelj, main statues, Chinggis Khaan memorials, amazing Buddhist monasteries, the Takhi or Asian Wild Horse in its natural habitat, double back camels, falconry, throat singing, traditional food, opportunities to understand Mongolian customs and culture, and experience Mongolia for the amazing country and culture it is. Highly recommend this tour and Easytour Mongolia. Thanks for the amazing experience!
