Gobi Desert Cultural Tour Reviews
- Mongolei Rundreise: In der Weite liegt die Kraft
It was very well organised We were 4 Persons. The Tourguide (Baggi) and our driver ( Bodro) were very friendly and pleased us us the time They din't let any wish Open. The trails were gut und The wright length. I would have wished to start The walks erließ in the morning. The group wanted to start latter. So we adjust to the majority. The only thing I had missed was more Exploration. But thanks Google it was possible to Reader that what I wanted to know. All in all a nice trip. At the end of the Trip we wantet to make Fotos of Yaks, so the oder of the Company picked us up from Hotel und took us to a place (50 km away from Ulaan Bator) where we coul find Yaks. He offered us Dinner and took us back to Hotel. All for free. I CALL THIS Service! So top Tour. Every time again!
- Mongolia Naadam Festival - Gobi Desert Tour
Dreamt for a long time, we finally realized this tour. All went good; you can only supply better food, but all the rest is ok
- Xandu Mongolia Panorama
Overall the trip was excellent, with lots of different activities and sights planned. Ulan Bator suffers a bit from being not up to the level of the rest of the country, but more of a business-centric capital than one interesting for a visitor. Would definitely consider Xanadu again if I were to return to Mongolia.
