“This tour takes you to many places for such an affordable price. One thing to note: please check what day of the week you’re joining the tour. I joined on a Wednesday when the Winter Palace was closed, and the driver just skipped it without any notice. They don’t give you any heads-up about closures, so make sure to check the opening days of all places in the itinerary before booking.”

“My tour with Batmaa, the tour guide, and Battogtokh, the driver, was most enjoyable. The planned activities were informative, and the tour guide was excellent. As I was the only guest, the tour guide adapted the schedule to make sure that I got the most out of the trip. I asked about a whole day's horse ride, and Batmaa booked this for the following day, and it was a wonderful experience. Also, she helped me to book a taxi ride to the airport at a very good price. Thank you so much, Batmaa and Battogtokh, for a memorable trip.”

Review of Hustai National Park from Ulaanbaatar, with Przewalski’s horses, wildlife, costs, timing, transport, and practical booking advice.
“A bit disorganised. Due to miscommunication between the operator and the driver, the tour started an hour late. We only stayed barely over an hour in the national park - which was much shorter than what we expected - and the trip ended an hour earlier than stated on the webpage despite the heavy traffic on our way back to Ulaanbaatar. The driver himself was friendly and helpful though.”
