Mongolian tour | Oct 2024

Selenge was very knowledgeable on the history of Mongolia. She gave us a tour of a museum while also stating a lot of facts. And also gave us a lot of tips for activities to do in Ulaanbaatar.

Great to meet Mongolia | Oct 2024

I was provided with a lovely introduction to Mongolia for a Business trip. It was a pleasantly surprising uncommon level of a hospitable welcome that immediately stirred me to want to revisit, which I plan to do in the very near future. Much of my time was spent within the city. Next time it will be more balanced with Ulaanbaatar's natural beauty. Thank you!

5-Star tour | 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 | Jun 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.

Visite très intéressante de la ville avec un guide extrêmement professionnel. Grandes connaissance des lieux et monument | Jun 2025

Après à m’avoir demande ce qui m’intéressait dans une visite, mon guide s’est exécuté et avec beaucoup de gentillesse, de patience et d’écoute, nous sommes partis visiter cette ville qu’il savait mettre en valeur par ses connaissances. Ainsi j’ai pu découvrir les monuments les plus intéressants de la ville, ainsi qu’une visite formidable d’un temple hindou .Tout a été parfait , il connaît extrêmement bien son métier il m’a proposé de me prendre en photo devant les monuments qui en valait la peine. Bref j’ai passé un excellent moment avec mon guide, je ne regrette en rien et vraiment je le recommande pour son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse. De plus j’avais perdu des documents pour mon voyage de retour en France et il s’est vraiment mis en quatre, il n’a pas hésité à prendre de son temps pour me donner satisfaction et grâce à lui j’ai tout retrouvé, il a dépassé son travail, je lui disais :vous savez vous prenez du temps il me répondait mais non non il n’y a pas de problème, je voudrais que vous soyez satisfait, ce qui était le cas
