Excellent day trip, would recommend
Really recommend this provider- very prompt with pick-up, great driver, very friendly and had great English. Let us spend plenty of time at the attractions and took lots of great pictures for us. The day went seamlessly, thanks Turu!

Turbet is the best! Highly recommend!
We booked our day trip in July with Turbet and were so relieved we did. He was absolutely the best! He was a last minute booking that saved us since our previous booking with another tour canceled on us last minute. He took us to the Ghengis Khan statue and Turtle Rock. He was very knowledgeable about both and was super friendly and understanding while we took our time throughout the day. We were so please we asked that he drive us the next two days. We had plans to go to a golf course and he was kind enough to drive us there and spend the day with us. He also helped us get to the airport on our final day. On all three days he recommended amazing restaurants and spoke perfect English. We highly recommend him for both tours and practically any other guide/driving needs you may have during your trip.

Great experience!
Had a great time on the Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock tour. The statue is massive and really impressive up close, with a cool museum underneath and amazing views from the top. Turtle Rock was peaceful and beautiful, perfect for a short walk and great photos. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Mongolian history and culture. Answered all our questions and even helped us grab some great local food along the way. Definitely recommend this tour if you’re visiting Mongolia !

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ulaanbaatar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ulaanbaatar is not rushed.
Is Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ulaanbaatar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock Day Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ulaanbaatar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ulaanbaatar and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chinggis Khaan Statue and Turtle Rock Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ulaanbaatar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ulaanbaatar?
+
On Outty we rank every Ulaanbaatar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BEST 5* Chinggis Khaan Airport UBN Ulaanbaatar Transfer Taxi 24/7, A day trip to Terelj National Park and Statue of Chinggis Khan, Genghis Khan Statue+Terelj Park+CamelRide+Eagle. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ulaanbaatar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ulaanbaatar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
