We had such a fantastic tour guided by our lovely tour guide Basaa! We were only in Mongolia for one day and we could have chosen a better tour. We got to see so many amazing sights and Basaa was the best companion and driver and even offered to take lots of photos of us everywhere we went! He also took us to an unbelievably good restaurant for lunch and we had an amazing meal with such spectacular mountain views. We hope to be able to come back to Mongolia again and experience another tour with them! And we definitely hope we get to have Bassa as our driver again!
A highly recommend tour. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and accommodating. I would have no hesitation using the tour company again.
Truly exciting and positive impressions of a day trip outside Ulaanbaatar. The driver was fluent in English, very friendly and caring. He gave useful hints in advance about how to move at each of the sightseeing main points (Chinggis Khan monument, Turtle Rock and Aryapala temple). Everything was on time and the car was good. A lot of friendly chatting during the trip helped to get a better feeling of Mongolia and it's people.
We were initially told our tour won't happen since we booked very late and they unfortunately didn't have drivers for the next day. Nevertheless, in the morning, they messaged us asking whether we would still like to do the tour around 10 am-ish. It was nice of Meet Mongolia to show this effort to make the tour happen for us! Our driver was friendly and very flexible, telling us to "take our time, no rush" at all the stop locations. He was even kind to later drop us at the Zaisan Hill. 🙂 Overall, the tour took us some 7 hours. I recommend Meet Mongolia for their friendly and high-effort approach!
We had a wonderful day in the National Park. The palace in the mountain was worth the trip up the stairs - great view across the mountain area
Driver was prompt and friendly. Comfortable vehicle and was as expected. The guide delivered me safely to all of the stops, pointed me to the highlights. The only negative was the communication. The driver did not speak any English and I spoke no Mongolian. I would still do it again. We used a translate app and we had fun doing it. He is a great person and was always smiling. Truly had a great time together. The sites were as expected and the lunch we shared together was so good. Reasonably priced for a single traveler. Don't hesitate to book through this company. Communication was great.
It is a relaxing trip where you get your own driver. That means it can be flexible if you wish. Our driver was very helpful and had a great sense of humour. We saw what we hoped to see and avoided the riding, but that was our decision. Highly recommend this tour.
I recommend it for a day at your own pace. Our driver Bazaraa was great 💙. Very friendly, he speaks English and we were able to communicate with him during all the trips. He meets our needs and ensures that we are always comfortable.
We took a one day tour to the statue and national park and had an excellent experience! Duk, our guide, was so informative, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and spoke English well. Duk and the driver were very accommodating if we wanted to stop somewhere, or if we wanted to spend more time in a particular place. We traveled with two teens and she made sure to appeal to them as well. I am so glad that we hired them. It was our best experience in Mongolia so far. Ask for Duk! Highly recommended!
We had an unforgettable day, lead by Bazaraa! He was attentive, informative, and very funny. Seamless pickup — we were flying out that evening, and Bazaraa made sure we got back to the city in time. The vehicle was clean and very comfortable — really could not more highly recommend this experience!
