We did a day tour yesterday and it was fantastic! We visited Terelj National Park, turtle rock, a monastery with chanting monks, went to a great lookout over the city, the Ghengus Khan Statue and museum and has a tasty lunch with a nomadic family in their ger, complete with an ox drawn carriage ride across the snow. It was a really cold day and snowing in the morning, but the minivan was warm inside and the driver was very good and safe. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and had perfect english. Everything went to plan and our 12 and 14 year old children really enjoyed the day as much as we did! We would highly recommend this day tour.

My friend and I booked a tour with Juulchin which was recommended by another friend who visited Mongolia recently. Saruul who is one of the managers was very patient and collaborated closely with me to design a customised tour of Gobi, Terejl and Karakorum. Using Whatsapp for coordinating was very efficient as I did not have time to spend over the phone and Saruul was always responsive. We did not know what to expect visiting a developing country but we were highly surprised by the following: - very professional approach by all Juulchin employees. Saruul , Adiya (tour guide) and the 2 drivers we had. Have travelled a lot to developing countries and I can safely say I wasnt expecting such high standards - very nice accommodation in luxury gers with ensuite bathroom/shower. If you are used to western standards and want own bathroom opt for "luxury" ger as you may be disappointed otherwise (shared facilities can always pose issues). All the camps we stayed were great and clean. The food provided was also very good in the majority of the cases with a variety of dishes and a good mix of local and international cuisine. The only problem is that there a lot of flies in Mongolia but that's not something the tour agency can fix. Perhaps the tour agency can provide feedback to the ger camps and they can take action with fumigation or other devices (even closing the restaurant doors or installing hanging stripes to prevent flies) - I would like to specifically mention and recommend Adiya. He is a young and very enthusiastic tour guide who was keen and able to showcase the amazing Mongolian landscapes, fauna and flora, and its rich history. Very proud of his country; his contagious enthusiasm made our experience in Mongolia much better as he was able to motivate us even when we had low energy levels. We also enjoyed a lot the personal interaction over drinks where we was explaining to us more about everyday life for Mongolian people and his generation All in all it was great value for money experience and I would highly recommend Juulchin Tourism Corporation but please be careful as there are many similar sounding tour companies in Mongolia (Juulchin means tourism) so have to make sure you go to the right one ([email protected] and phone number under this TA entry are the correct ones)
