    The process until reaching the moment we arrived in Mongolia was long. It felt strange to pay it all in advance without having any assurances that this was not a scam. Also it was strange to pay it all so long in advance. It would have sufficed to ensure a deposit on a credit card and pay another 30% just before departure and the final 30% upon meeting the staff. The credit card would have guaranteed everyone a surety. This is the main reason, I will not use Tourradar again. We should have asked for a detailed programme and a detailed list of the amenities at each stay. We should have asked for approximate timings of each day. Now, all this is minor and could be resolved but we were taken aback by the lack of (bearable) WC and shower, still we saw it as an adventure. Others that would have booked this tour could have been shocked. We were pleasantly surprised by the ingenuity and plasticity of the involved people when our initial car was unusable, the swiftness they fixed a replacement and the ease they organized a new car the day after. Our tour was not at all impacted. This is a strength! The rest was impeccable. I would book the same mongolian guys again but not through tourradar. the payment issue has really put me off.

    Kristen

    Asked on April 17th, 2025

    I am travelling alone. Would it be possible to join a group? Or if not, what would the price be? During the part of the tour in the Orkhon Valley, will one visit the Tuvkhun Monastery?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Tengri ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      Yes, it's absolutely possible to join a group. At the moment, there are two people interested in the 14-day tour. Yes, the tour includes a visit to the Orkhon Valley, however Tuvkhun Monastery is not part of the planned route.

      Kristen

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Unfortunately the 14 day option would not work for me as I am only in Mongolia from the 31st of May to 12 June. This was why I was looking at the 10 day tour (preferably starting on the 1st of June). If it becomes possible to join a group in this regard, it would be optimal. What would the costs then work out to?

    Asked on February 2nd, 2025

    I'm looking at the Mongolian Odyssey tour as a possible trip for this summer. I noticed the trip has an age range 10-65. I am a very fit 70 year old. I travel all over the world. I'm wondering what the reason for the age range is. Could you let me know before I make further plans?
