Memorable Mongolian Journey Had the chance to visit Mongolia during the cold winter months during lunar New Year Festival. My guide/driver, Baldo planned the tour with great attention to accommodate all my desires and the trip was absolutely amazing. Highlight of the trip was the sunrise morning hike at -25C and Nomad family visit. Would do it again in summer.

Altai trek, Western Mongolia Trip Advisor review Way to Mongolia I usually don’t post reviews but I wanted to let people know about “Way to Mongolia” and its owner and guide Baldo. I contacted Baldo just a few days before arriving in Mongolia. He was very helpful and designed the perfect trekking itinerary in Western Mongolia. Given the logistics of arranging camels, horses and a cook he did well to get them all in place for when I arrived. Baldo is a local of Ulgii and has great experience of the area and speaks very good English so is always able to speak about the nature and culture that makes the Altai Mountains and it’s nomads so wonderful. I had a genuinely authentic experience meeting a Tuvan nomad family who were very welcoming. The scenery was truly spectacular and the horse riding, which I had no intention to do, ended up the main way of getting to the next mountain campsite and was actually one of the highlights. I cannot recommend Baldo any more highly. He will always go the extra mile to make things run smoothly and is a great guide. You can’t go wrong if you choose “Way to Mongolia”. Ps. He was heading back to UB after the tour so he kindly offered me a lift with his family for the 1700km car journey and even took me to the airport to collect my luggage that had been delayed ( I did the tour with my carry on luggage! and some borrowed bits from Baldo) Steve Cumines Wales

Amazing and very well designed experience I had the most enjoyable time. As you might imagine, traveling alone can be very challenging. However, the expertise and kindness of Way to Mongolia made everything so joyful. Also, the schedule was very well designed. I left Mongolia with the impression that I visited all the places I always dreamed about. The value for money is also incredibly convenient. Very happy and satisfied with everything. Just thinking about return and go to western Mongolia! I feel só luck to have chosen Way to Mongolia as my tour provider.

I was there to photography the Altai region in Western Mongolia to document the ancient art of eagle hunting.We stayed with the families and were welcome were ever we went. It was well above expectations

Short but perfect! I had the chance to visit UB and around UB with Baldyrgan for only 2 days but I couldn’t have ask for a better guide during that time. He showed me the Mongol and Kazakh culture, food, people, music, etc… Since it was only the two of us, we had plenty of time to talk about everything and no subject was off the table. He was kind, patient, fun and open minded! We kept talking even when he wasn’t my guide anymore and he helped me when I needed it. If you want a tour guide, a friend, someone that will show you the mongol’s way , go with him! Sophie, the French Canadian 30yo

Great trip to Western Mongolia We had a fantastic time with Baldu and his team in Western Mongolia. Great conversations and food. Aschim did a hell of a job driving, Osi prepared delicious food. The openness of the coutry and the people were just amazing. the horse riding with the Alta mountain in the background were extraoridinarily and the stay with a Kazakh family was a really authentic experience. Highly recommendable.

Unique and special tour in Mongolia I did a tour to Dornogovi province in the south of Mongolia with my besties. We were delighted about our guide Erdene who were always caring us a lot. Also thanks for telling us a history about the places that we travelled. We got knowledge about Mongolian tradition, history and culture. I highly recommend you guys come to Mongolia if you're looking for something special and unique. Mongolian lifestyle definitely different from any other countries. So it is clear that many researchers come to Mongolia to discover new findings. Thanks for skilled and experienced team Tour to Mongolia.

Mongolia is one of the countries that must be on your bucket list We did a tour to Mongolia a few years ago in early June 2019 with my girlfriend Jane. We were very happy that we made a deal with Way to Mongolia team. They were very responsive to all our needs. Way to Mongolia team is very responsive to e-mails as we have been receiving all responses to our emails in just about 10 minutes. We did choose the Gobi desert as it was the most famous destination in Mongolia. Our guide Erdene has very deep local historical knowledge and he speaks very good English. Special thanks to Way to Mongolia team for making our tour so easy! Wish you all the best and See You Again in the feature! Johnson

Unusual and funniest thing I've done so far and so glad I did it We did a horse trekking tour in western Mongolia with local tour guide Baldyrgan who did help us a lot to organize this tour for us. We did real horse riding compare to horse ridings back in our hometown. Mongolian Horses can go anywhere, they are tough and strong. We did go up heals and down, were crossing huge rivers, and also did a little bit of racing. That was super fun. Special thanks to the team of "Way to Mongolia" as they were super flexible and well organized. Highly recommended if you want to stretch your boundaries and remind yourself about the excitement of living, Mongolia would be the best choice with "Way to Mongolia" team! Sincerely yours Anthony
