    · April 30th, 2025
    Both I and another woman over 60 years old toured in mid-April; we are both highly experienced travelers having experienced more than 30-60 countries each. At no time did we feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Incredibly, we were both amazed, impressed, and moved by the *Mongolian people*, the places, the outdoor experiences, and the deep knowledge the tour company provided. Mongolia is truly extraordinary, complex, challenging ,and unusual in many ways. High praise to the company for 1) respecting local people and their traditions first while providing guidance to us travelers how to do the same, 2) providing us with an high-quality, English-fluent guide who was so well-versed on every aspect of Mongolian history, culture, politics, geology, geography, religions, flora, fauna, etc as well as 3) a driver of great skill and ability to safely navigate challenging terrain in addition to being a keen-sighted naturalist. Both the guide and driver were kind, thoughtful, respectful, and funny; in addition to the sharing of information, we all shared many a laugh! Finally, we both felt free to ask any question about Mongolia, giving us the opportunity to learn and appreciate this extraordinary country. I was hesitant about spending 12 days with 2 folks I’d never met before in a vast wilderness landscape; this could have become very difficult with clashing personalities. However, that never happened and instead, the laughter we shared indicated we were all at ease. I can truly say that this tour was the best I’ve ever had.

    Daniel

    Asked on March 31st, 2024

    Does that mean 4 guests riding horses? I can't decide whether or not this is a good thing, compared to say a group of about 8-12 guests AND are there any guaranteed departure dates as yet for July 2024?
