What an incredible experience. I did my tour with Deggie. It was fascinating. Deggie is such an incredible tour guide and was sure to explain everything. I loved getting to learn about this beautiful country from him. Everything from the national park to the statute to the lunch with the Kazakh family was amazing. Such a fantastic highlight of my trip! If you were considering it, I would definitely recommend this trip.
I had such a great time during this experience. Deegii was my excellent guide who I learned a lot about Mongolian culture from. The highlight for me was the meal with a local Kazakh family. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to have an authentic experience in Mongolia!!
"The service was excellent, with attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, especially the local specialties. However, the room could use some updating, as the furnishings felt a bit outdated. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with good value for money."
