Tips On Planning For Mongolian Tours

By Bonnie Contreras


Organizing for tours can be very demanding and stressful; proper organization is required for it to succeed. It is recommended that activities like hiking, trekking and mountain climbing be performed in groups of more than two people to minimize the risk of accidents. On the other hand it is only wise to hire a guide in visiting unfamiliar territories during the Mongolian tours.

Working with local travel firms is way easier and cheaper than working with firms in client home areas. Also when faced with problems the local companies are in a better position to help. Going for local companies will mean the client will have to make up their mind whether to hire a guide or go for all-inclusive travel packages. It may all come down to the budget of the traveler.

The duties of day guides are to take small groups of tourists to a defined location while explaining to them in detail about the sites. Distance and the geographical location of a site will play a major role in price quotation. Adventure and cultural companies on the other hand offer clients more variety in site seeing. They involve equipment and also guides who take travelers hiking, trekking and on safaris to local villages.

Local guides can be used as an alternative especially where budget is constrained. They are a better option particularly where there are rough terrains and remote places to visit. Some guides may be associated with a company while others are independent, some states require they have practicing licenses. If roads allow and the client does not want a feeling of available local public systems, they can choose to rent a vehicle and a driver to show them around.

In trip organizing every client should be driven by the need for safety and reliability. Travelers must ask to see the license of the company, brochures and the equipment to be used. Contacting referrers to ascertain the efficiency of the company is a good step to take and so is getting a map of the places to be visited.

In some cases the travel companies and the guides usually have in their possession letters of praise from other previous customers who have used their services. This does not automatically guarantee that they are the best firm; the traveler should make their own judgments. Also the client should ask questions regarding the route to be used, accommodation and safety precautions.

Payments are the most causes of disagreements. This calls for charges and fees to be agreed on before hand and where possible be contained in writing, the agreement maybe in the form of waivers or contracts. Receipts given to clients should be kept well for future reference.

Tour firms like to work with honesty and good customer service. Travelers have a say on whether the companies will get clients in future because when used well they can be a marketing tool for the firm; by putting in a good word for the company to the friends and relatives. A good deed deserves another, tips for good services rendered on the duration of any Mongolian tours are essential in creating friendships, travelers may be surprised by how well they are treated if they return to the same place in future.
