What Guests Are Saying

5 Star Tour

Pedro M | May 2025

Brad provided my an amazing experience in Ulan Bator, his English as well as his knowledge of the city, culture, history and politics is se l one to none, plus he was very adaptable, accommodating and patient on a very complicated day as it was marathon day, no car day, the city center was closed to cars so we needed to adapt and extend the programmed tour. 5 stars, I highly advise.

Engaging Tour

Mitchel G | June 2025

Buhuu was a very knowledgeable, engaging, and worldly guide. He was also very generous with his time. We asked him for a custom tour to explain the relationship between Mongolia, China and Russia and he did an excellent job. We feel we have walked away with a deeper understanding of Mongolian historical relations along with relations in the region generally. Thank you very much Buhuu for a wonderful time - if we come back to Mongolia we will contact you again.
