Gobi tour Mongolië met dinosaurusfossielen

Mongolia is beautiful and the Gobi is worth seeing, however, this tour operator fell far short of our expectations. The good was the sights and the driver & car, the bad was: - we booked it as a private tour, however, we ended up travelling with 5 other people sharing one guide between two cars - the guide spoke good English but otherwise knew nothing. No information about the sites we visited, and as she was a very timmid and immature 18 year old, it was like travelling with a child. - the plans kept on changing and communication was poor. Apparently we were supposed to head off one day earlier but the company owner forgot (?!) to tell us, and we instead had to spend the first day catching up with the group who departed the day before us. However, he didn't tell us this and the driver spoke no English so we couldn't ask why we drove past what should have been our first stop. - we were told by our guide that we would be returning one say sooner with the other car, cutting our trip short by on day. I messaged the company owner to confirm and he said that was the case. A few days later he said we would have one more night and had mixed up the dates. - the city tour could have been better organised and guided. We started a few hours later than planned, and while the guide and company owner told us some interesting facts he spent almost all his time on the phone and was completely uninterested in conversation - almost not a single question asked to us but spent time scrolling social media. We also had no plans after lunch except for a show starting at 5pm, and had to kill time at a pub. It would be much better if an activity had been planned after lunch before the show. - I reached out before the tour asking if there was anything we should bring with us, and didn't get a reply. I would have been great to know we should have brought water (as there was none in the car and the first stop was 5 hours away), toilet paper, towel etc.

Amazing landscape, stunning views, hassle free just hop on a 4 wheel drive and the tour would handled the rest. Wonderful guide, worth the price.

I participated tour in June. Guide and Driver was very professional and Mongolian gobi is very beautiful I recommend to choose this company to gobi

Yadamsuren Demberel is very hands on when it comes to arranging a tour. I got a personalized tour to include a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it Yadamsuren included it in my itinerary. Got a memorable travel to Mongolia with Eternal Gobi Tour! Highly Recommended!

Misleading and poorly managed private tour — multiple service failures We booked what was confirmed as a private tour for 3. What we got fell significantly short of what was promised. > Undisclosed guide changes and additions: At midnight on arrival, our guide Yadam informed us — without prior notice — that an assistant guide would be joining and travelling in our car. The next morning, a different female guide showed up in Yadam's place, and we waited 30 minutes by the roadside for the assistant guide to arrive. 2 days into the trip, Yadam reappeared and swapped back with no explanation. These changes were never communicated in advance. > Incompetent guides: Yadam struggled to converse in English and was reluctant to answer questions or offer any commentary — we had to repeatedly prompt him for basic updates. The assistant guide never introduced herself, spoke minimal English, made no attempt to engage with us, and behaved more like a fellow tourist than a guide. Yadam spent most of the trip attending and catering to the assistant guide rather than us. > Accommodation failures on 2 nights: Near the Yolyn Am Valley, our accommodation appeared to be either unbooked or cancelled — no explanation was given, and we visited two ger camps before finding a place to stay. For our city night, accommodation was cancelled at the last minute and we were placed in a substandard motel with no lift. > Private tour became a merged group: Despite pre-trip confirmation that this was a private tour, we effectively travelled alongside another family throughout. Whenever both groups were together, Yadam walked ahead with the other family rather than with us. > City tour cut short: The itinerary stipulated a 9am start for the city tour. Yadam pushed this to 12pm, claiming the tour ‘doesn't take long’ — without consulting us. We eventually went oh another day tour ourselves. The Gobi desert is incredibly beautiful with stunning landscapes, and our driver Jaga did a fantastic job - he tried to engage with us even though he did not speak much English. But overall with all of Yadam’s shenanigans, this was a frustrating experience characterised by poor communication, last-minute changes, and a lack of professionalism. We would not recommend this operator.

Excellent visits, magnificent show, awesome camping. Half off-roading, and saw wild camels, sheep, goats, and cows on the way. Went through ruins, sandy cliffs, springs, grass-sands, red-shaded sand rocks, dinosaur egg fossils, and much more! I also rode a camel. I highly recommend this trip.

This was a really fun trip! It was a good price for a private trip with friends - we had a Land Cruiser for the three of us plus the driver and guide. We LOVED our driver (Jagaa) and our guide, Nara. The views were amazing and it was so nice to get to meet local families. Some tour companies had the guides cook for the guests but our guide says she doesn’t cook so the families who ran the yurt camps cooked for us and often had us in their homes to eat. This was a special treat for us. Only downside is it was a lot of time in the car, but this would be true of any Gobi desert tour and isn’t specific to this company. We never did see dino fossils despite being in an area where they’ve been found, but this didn’t bother me as I’ve seen plenty in the US before. But if this particularly interests you, make sure to confirm this part of your itinerary beforehand. The city tour didn’t really need to be run by the tour company, it would be very easy to do on your own, altho I suppose you’re already paying for entrance fees. (We l went to the Chinggis Kahn museum, the Sukhbaatar square, the Gandantegchinlen Monastery, and a performance at the Lumen-Ekh Folk Song and Dance Ensemble.) I’m not even particularly interested in the performing arts and this show was incredible, so don’t miss this! The throat singer alone was enough to captivate my attention for the evening. And pro tip: don’t waste your time taking a taxi in the city… if you’re within a 30 min walk of the central square, it’ll be just as fast to walk.

We had an incredible time on this tour and would highly recommend it. One of the highlights was staying in yurts with local host families, who cooked us dinner and welcomed us into their living rooms to eat with them. It felt really authentic and gave us a great insight into the local culture. A special mention to our driver, Jagaa, who was excellent—super friendly and couldn't do enough for us throughout the trip. Our English-speaking guide, Nara, was also fantastic. She was warm, knowledgeable, and a joy to spend time with. An unforgettable experience from start to finish.

The guides took responsibility and did their best to make sure I enjoyed the tour in a very friendly manner. I lost some valuables along the way, but even then, while I was enjoying the tour, they did all the paperwork, which was very reassuring. Before the tour, I was worried because I couldn't speak English, but when I finished, it was four days too fulfilling to feel the wonder of Mongolia and the warmth of people. I chose this tour and I am truly grateful for the valuable experience. I would definitely recommend it to others.

The south of Mongolia was quiet, magnificent and beautiful. Moving on a regular basis, there was plenty of free time in the early afternoons of the day, so it was good to walk around the hostel.
