1 dag Semi-Gobi Altomfattet tur

I had an amazing experience on the 1 Day Semi-Gobi All-Included Tour with NGA Tour Bureau., September 3 . Our guide was absolutely wonderful , his nickname is Urrta— very attentive to our needs and requests, always positive, respectful, and kind. He made us feel comfortable and welcome throughout the entire day. The tour was very well organized, and the beautiful landscapes, camel ride, and experience of seeing the Mongolian countryside made it a very memorable day. A special thank you to our guide for his professionalism, kindness, and great attitude. He truly made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour and NGA Tour Bureau!

Although the day is long I'm very pleased that I did it. Driver a guide could not have done any more for me and the other solo traveller,James. Thank you for a great experience.

A long day in the car but worth the trip. Roads are pretty average and the driver scared us a few times with his overtaking. But we survived!

The guide and driver were super nice, and we knew it would be a long drive but the description was misleading. It does take 4 hours to get to the semi gobi once you get out of the city but that takes about 1.5 hours on top of that. Our day ended up being about 15.5 hours and only about 2.5 hours of that was in the semi gobi area, which was nice but not worth the long drive. The vehicle was comfortable enough for the ones lucky enough not to sit in the back. But if you end up in squeezed in the back row middle seat for 11 hours on the prepare for some back pain. There was 3 of us in the back and we're all petite females and we barely fit, so any one larger would be extremely uncomfortable.

Our guide Ari was fantastic! Great to see the Mongolian countryside and steppes. Plenty of free roaming horses, cows, sheep, and goats along the way.

Interesting, very long. The roads are a critical point, in poor condition.

It's really amazing tour. Our guides are so kind and always help us. In m y case, we were 5 members. You don't have to worry about bathroom, because guides fr equently stop by Market and we can go to bathroom. But I think you have to take your own tissue paper cuz there are almost no bathr oom at markets (next to highways) which ha s toilets paper. They also tell us a lot of thing s about Mongolia, for example nomadic people's life or traditional food, something like th ese. Moreover, each time we stop on the way (to see beautiful landscapes), they always take pictures. At Mini Gobi Desert, we ride Camels and they are so sweet. You can definitely enjoy the view. On the way to back to our hotels, our guides make us really enjoy! They shared us a lot of snacks and everything is perfect. I recommend you this tour, 100%!! Thank you for our amazing guides!

It was a long 280km one-way drive, but we were grateful to have a coffee and snacks break on the way in the grassland with the view, and to choose a facility with beautiful toilets to stop by. I enjoyed riding a camel in the desert, eating Mongolian traditional food with gel for lunch, and playing Mongolian traditional games on the train. Don't forget to wear a hat and sunglasses as the sun is strong in the desert!

I saw most negative reviews complain about the length of the tour, but I think that’s a bit unfair, because the description clearly states it takes 10+ hours, so you know what you’re signing up for. That said, the team makes plenty of stops to break up the journey. We pulled over to take photos with wild horses along the way, stopped for coffee and bathroom breaks, and enjoyed a snack of delicious traditional Mongolian sweet biscuits. I didn’t feel tired at all. If you have an international SIM card, you’ll likely have cell service almost the entire way, which actually surprised me (vast areas of absolutely “nothing” and still I had 4G). But even without internet, the passing landscape is beautiful to watch. The car itself is very comfortable, equipped with working AC, and has fully reclining seats if you want to sleep. The guide actually suggested taking a nap at the start of our journey, and while I thought I would, I ended up staring out the window into the green Mongolian landscape the whole time. They also offer a ton of food throughout the day; in fact, I’m finishing the tour with an unopened package of crackers because I was as full as a balloon. Some reviews also mentioned the driving, but to be honest I had no issues at all. It’s a long journey on a single-lane road, so overtaking is expected, but nothing felt irresponsible to me (it’s important to remember you’re traveling in a country with a different driving culture). And anyway, the car had functional seatbelts, and even when the road got bumpy, I felt totally safe. The tour guide was kind, friendly, and punctual. In fact, I was the one who was seven minutes late, and he was very understanding about it. He shared interesting info about Ulaanbaatar and Mongolian culture without overloading me with an exhaustive history lecture on Genghis Khan or the Mongol Empire. As someone who appreciates a bit of quiet time while traveling, I really valued that he respected my space. The desert experience was quite fun. I drove the dromedary and we took plenty of pictures. On our way back, we stopped for fermented horse milk. In the car, we played a Mongolian game, practiced basic words in Mongolian and heard some old legends from the country. I really enjoyed it! The guide also took many photos of me and sent them via WhatsApp afterwards, and I even noticed him taking a few photos of himself , which was adorable to see: it genuinely felt like he was enjoying his day. Communication with the company beforehand was seamless; I sent them a WhatsApp message three days prior to confirm my hotel pickup, and they replied on the same day confirming everything on their end. As an avid traveler who has been on many tours, I can honestly say this was a top-tier experience. Highly recommended!

It was difficult on the schedule to get to the Gobi Desert, but I was looking for a tour to go to the desert and ride a camel, and as soon as I found it I applied. The drivers and guides were so kind and made for great memories! The hospitality is also the best and definitely recommended!
