An amazing day | Oct 2024

Our guide, Brad, was superb - very friendly, attentive and keen to ensure we got the very best from our time with him. Brad's command of the English language was excellent. Our trip was from the hotel to the Genghis Khan statue (which was incredible), onto a local restaurant for some traditional food and then to a temple and Turtle Rock. If we saw something of interest on the way then it was no problem to stop and take some photos - nothing was too much trouble.

Amazing experience | Sep 2024

Brad, the owner, was able to accommodate our last minute request for a day tour and we are truly grateful for it. Haggi, our driver and tour guide, was on-time, friendly, receptive to our needs, and fun to be with! We enjoyed a day tour and terelj was our favorite destination!

One day in Ulaanbaatar | Aug 2025

I highly rate Buhuu and our day tour he took us on. First stop a visit to a local Shaman, what an amazing experience. We then drove out to the famous Chinggis Statue with a stopover to handle a beautiful Golden Eagle and Mongolian Vulture. Buhuu is a very passionate Mongolian and I am blessed to have met him.

Great tours | Jul 2025

We had two amazing days with Buhuu. We did a city tour of Ulaanbaatar and another tour to the Chinggis Khaan statue. We got 5 star service both days. Buhuu is reliable and kind. He is accommodating and very knowledgeable about his culture. Great days. Highly recommended!

Best Tour Experience in Ulaanbaatar | Sep 2025

We joined his tour, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. He was very kind, had a great sense of humor, and explained history and culture in such an easy-to-understand way. I highly recommend booking a tour with this company if you are visiting Ulaanbaatar.
