Golden Eagle Festival- thank you Shinee! - We thoroughly enjoyed the Golden Eagle Festival through Discover Mongolia Travel. Shinee and our driver went way beyond to ensure that our experience was magical. From carefully planned meals to accommodate my vegetarian restrictions to additional cultural experiences that gave us great insight to this fascinating culture. I highly recommend Shinee and Discover Mongolia.

Great guides and a memorable experience - We went to the Golden Eagle as a family of 4 (including a 7 year old and a nearly 3 year old). We asked for a private tour as we imagined we'd be the only people with two young kids and this allowed us to be very flexible. Bat was the person we dealt with by email in advance and he was very helpful (including liaising with the Ulgii hotel to buy a cot for our son to sleep in!) We had a great time. This was largely due to our wonderful guide Serikgul and equally wonderful driver Birlik. They were always very happy to be flexible around our needs and were great with the kids. Birlik was like a new grand-dad for our kids (our 2 year started asking to sit with them instead of us for his meals!). The festival itself was great, but so was going to the cultural concert and the countryside visit to a family in a ger for lunch was probably the best of all. While we were reasonably careful around hygiene, we weren't fanatical about it, and I'm pleased to say nobody had an upset stomach at any stage. Many thanks to Discover Mongolia for a well-organised, smooth-running, authentic and very interesting experience.
