Our family trip to Mongolia last week was enriching and memorable. Me and my adult daughter and son returned with hearts full of gratitude and stories. The highlight was the time we spent with two Nomadic families. Their hospitality was unparallelled. We were welcomed into their Ger with open arms. The simplicity of their lifestyle was inspiring and humbling. The food was another unforgettable aspect! We could also never forget the horse and camel riding. The kindness of the people, the beauty of the land, and the richness of the culture left an indelible mark on all of us! I highly recommend this tour! Special thanks to our guide Nandia. She is so warm, entertaining and her English is good so we learned a lot. Thanks also to our efficient driver Wednesday. Mongolia – we will carry you in our hearts forever!

A wonderful emersive experience
An amazing experience at the tail end of the tourist seasons, still warm and sunny days with slightly unpredictable weather including surprise snow. The 4 day tour solo was phenominal lead by driver Nyamaa and Guide Bayasgalan. Mendee had arranged a great tour. Due to delayed arrival and lost luggage, Tour Mongolia was very familiar with unexpected circumstances and adjusted the tour accordingly while the luggage was delivered to Khustai Mountains Camp later that day. I was very impressed with the tour operator professionalism, their sharing of various tour options, preparation guidelines and kind tour staff. Memorable experience and sightseeing!
