Loved it! Well put together. The throat singing, orchestra, dancing and outfits were fantastic. Great to see the unique instruments too. We didn't need a pickup, just walked from the Holiday Inn.
The show is exactly as described. The theater is intimate that makes the experience more interesting. Arrive early!
Masters in music (instruments and vocals) and dance. It showcases the colourful and intricate design in their costumes. They show how Mongolian incorporates cultural and historical aspects into their performances. Vocal inspired from nature, weather and animals. Dance inspired from archery, battles and wrestling (dance footwork).

Performance far exceeded our expectations for a cultural show with a diversity of acts and highly talented locals on display! There was music, dance and even a contortionist with strong Mongolian cultural theme throughout! Throat singers were a standout! Pick and delivery back to our hotel were seamless. We would highly recommend.

Amazing experience for those who love culture, history and art!! 100% recommend. Also it says 2 hours but it lasted 1h10 which is better, time flew by and we were in awe!

I thought the show was fantastic. The musicians, dancers and singers were all first class. Worth it for the throat singing alone. At 1 hour, it’s the right length. Fine for kids I think. They would enjoy it.
