Wow - what an incredible trip to Mongolia! We (my friend and I - two women in our late 20s) had a phenomenal time exploring the diverse landscapes of Mongolia and the incredible hospitality of locals. We had Zaya as our tour guide and she was amazing at her role. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. Her knowledge is unmatched and she is a very talented translator. Our drivers (Mogi and I apologise but I am forgetting the name of the second equally amazing driver) were both wonderful and went above and beyond expectations to look after us (lots of photo stops, toilet stops, joined us horse riding, played card games with us, cooked for us etc.).

I feel so lucky to have experienced two weeks (15 days) in this country, exploring the north, central and south. We went horse riding to the west taiga tribe, visited Gobi Dessert, went camel riding, attended Nadam festival, visited Hutsai National Park and saw so many Przewalski's horses, milked horses, goats and yaks, visited a stunning waterfall and stayed in the ger's of many welcoming locals.

Thank you thank you thank you for such a fantastic trip!

We recently completed a cultural tour of Mongolia and had an amazing time. We went to Mongolia outside the peak period at the onset of winter but Crystal managed to put together an amazing itinerary over 13 days.

We travelled to west to stay with Kazak eagle hunters and to the north to stay with the Tsaatan reindeer herders. We also saw natural wonders including the Lake Khovsgol, Jargant river and the wild Takhi horses. A visit to Mongolia wouldn’t be complete without historical sites and memorials

Our guide, Zaya, was excellent, working overtime to make sure we were always comfortable. Zaya’s historical and cultural knowledge were an essential part of the immersive experience.

Travelling in rural Mongolia can be challenging given the sparse landscape and weather conditions. However, Zaya worked tirelessly with our drivers and the local communities to ensure our tour always went smoothly and without issues.

I would definitely recommend a trip to Mongolia with Crystal for anyone looking for an adventurous experience wrapped in a premium tour.

Zara was an excellent guide. The trip was really well managed. However, we feel that the itinerary could have been better managed- For eg. we could have done places closer to Ulaan Batar towards the end of the trip instead of the beginning especially as there was a lot of driving towards the second half of the trip. Further, it would have been helpful if we were informed about the fact that there were ensuite accommodation available as well.

We have traveled the world but have never found a better firm than Premium Travel Mongolia. We unhesitatingly recommend this firm to anyone who wants an educational, comfortable, entertaining and enlightening overview of this wonderful, ancient yet modern country.
Crystal was very responsive and custom-built a trip to match our needs. The trip throughout central Mongolia was extremely well planned, with multiple adventures every day. From stays at ger camps - from luxurious to just plain comfortable - climbing volcanos, relaxing in hot springs, visiting historic and cultural sites and riding horses and camels, we never lacked opportunities to learn about this amazing country. We even got to work with golden eagles and participate in Naadam in Dalan ZadGad and learn about all the fascinating events.
We were extremely privileged to have Suvd for our guide and Tsogtoo for our driver. The best of the best. They both have a great sense of humor and kept us laughing the whole time. He is a highly competent, calm and careful driver who keeps the car spotless every day. Suvd, who speaks excellent English and gets every joke, has a wealth of knowledge about Mongolia's history, culture, celebrations, sports, flora and fauna. Both struggled to teach us to play the ankle bone game which provided a fun way to relax at the end of the day. Suvd went above and beyond by ensuring that all the camp cooks respected my dietary restrictions.
At the end of the trip we were overcome to find that the team had organized a 46th anniversary gift for us - everything we will need to continue to play the ankle bone game back home! We will never forget this trip and unhesitatingly recommend

A wonderful ger camp with a great restaurant and comfortable gers. Yaks walk through the camp during the day, and it is easy to do horseback riding or take a trip to the Wishing Island. There is even a local bunny.

It was our fourth trip with KimKim. The Mongolian nature was amazing-mountains, sand dunes, traces of dinozaurs. We met amazing people , true Nomads of the XXIst century, but :
-our nice guide was rather an interpreter not a guide. With mediocre english and almost no knowledge of Mongolian history and culture. Each question asked cause an intense discussion with a driver and a short two sentenced answer. No background of every day schedule, no history, no ethnical background. This was the case for 2 guides, one in Ulan Bator (a nice young boy, knowing nothing about places we visited) and a lady who spend 3 weeks with us (guiding was a summer job for her).
-there was no real plan for the days we have been driving, no foto stops, unless asked for, no piknic
Driving through Africa, Asia , we know it is possible to organize almost everything in every country and that was the kind of service we have always been receiving by KimKim. Not this time. Paying 20 k USD for 3 weeks we were expecting a superior treatment in a country where the most expensive hotel is 250 USD/night (in UlanBatar), and where we slept mostly in gerds (far different from 5star tents in Africa). Remember in Mongolia average salary is about 500 USD/month, and food is 20-40 USD/per day /two persons in restaurant.
Final conclusion, we always try to find our best during the vacation , so we really rest, but that was not due to Crystal efforts.
