"We created this equestrian tour for the riders who want to visit Mongolia on horseback but can not afford to take long holidays in summer. In 8 days, you will experience the best of what Mongolia has to offer to horse lovers: great gallops in the steppes, a night in a yurt, encounters with nomads ... Unbeatable value for money."

"Assessment of the Horses:
Typical Mongolian horses – enduring, fast, strong, sure-footed, good-natured, and easy to handle. In very good condition and very well cared for – this time even pampered.

Assessment of the Riding Program:
Varied, with many brisk and very fast gallops. Some climbing was also involved. Experience in riding across terrain and good physical fitness are an advantage.

Assessment of the Riding Guides / Instruction:
Very attentive, very friendly and helpful guides who took excellent care of both riders and horses.

Assessment of the Accommodation:
The yurt at the camp was very clean and cozy. The two toilets and two showers in one shared room for men and women took some getting used to...
The pop-up tents were very practical, easy and quick to set up and take down. The thick sleeping mat was very comfortable.

Assessment of the Food:
Very good both in camp and on the trail, always two hot meals per day. Despite the large amount of meat, the meals were very varied (mutton, beef, chicken); rice, noodles, potatoes, dumplings in all variations, fruit, vegetables, eggs – all suitable even for European stomachs. The cook clearly enjoyed preparing something new for the camping table every time. There was always tea, coffee, juice, and water.

Assessment of the Scenery / Nature:
Always breathtaking – the endless steppe, sometimes green, sometimes yellow, the green-golden mountains, and many herds of horses, sheep/goats, and cattle." - Anne-Kathrin W. (2025)

"I loved it - super well organised and exceeded my expectations!

Food was all really good! Better than expected. Vegetarians catered very well for." - Phoebe T. (2025)

"Absolutely amazing - wonderful horses, guides and scenery. I loved the long gallops across the Mongolian plains.

Food was better than expected.

The horses were go-ey but felt very safe and well looked after! Saddles were very comfy. I don't ride that often so was worried about being saddle sore but had no issues at all." - Georgia de JC (2025)

We’ve always wanted to visit Mongolia, but unfortunately didn’t have much time, which is why we chose “Mongolia Express”.

Overall evaluation of the trip:
Very successful

Evaluation of the horses:
The horses were sure-footed, fast, and real power ponies. We were very impressed.

Evaluation of the riding program:
The riding program was very nice. We rode different routes and the riding guides were unique.

Evaluation of accommodation:
The tents and sleeping mats were good, but a single tent for one person is quite small, and it’s hard to keep your belongings with you since there’s no vestibule. The double tents had enough space to bring a backpack inside and store clothes and other items in the vestibule, which was very practical.

Evaluation of food/catering:
The cook was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious!

Evaluation of the landscape/nature:
The nature was beautiful — just as one imagines it.

Comments:
We’re a bit sad that we didn’t include the Gobi Desert, but a 13-day tour would have just been too long for us. Maybe we’ll have to return to Mongolia another time." - Karolin A. (2024)

- "I wanted to tell you how fabulous this experience was for the two of us.

Our translator Dondov, and the rest of the Mongolian team (whose name I'm afraid of of writing) have been wonderful in kindness, humor and generosity. If you have the opportunity to thank them again for us, do it warmly!

Cooking, games, campfires and a lot of songs have brought a lot to a trip that would have even been wonderful without it.

Moggi's horses (probable example of a bad spelling of Mongolian name ...) were exceptional of endurance and kindness. The scenery was breathtaking and the Mongols explained us that our itinerary has been totally created by you!

I have absolutely no reproach about our journey through Mongolia. Since we return, I spend my time talking about this trip to my friends, urging them to call you if they want to try the experience.

Thank you very much for this time out of time and this dream that you have allowed us to achieve. " - Catherine and Arthur F. (2019)

- "The bravest horse I have ever met, a very comfortable saddle, nomadic equestrian guides always checking that everything is OK ... Our guide was great, always smiling. Beautiful and varied landscapes.
To say it all, the trip was wonderful, the hardest time has been when we had to leave at the end of the tour. But we will be back, for a longer stay!" - Flore (2016)
