What you'll see and do
Sukhbaatar Square
Sukhbaatar Square is the central square of Ulaanbaatar and the heart of the city. Right in front of the Government Palace, you will see the grand, giant statue of Chinggis Khaan, surrounded by two of the other most important rulers in Mongolian history: Oghedei and Khubilai Khaan. This is the ultimate spot to get a picture for your holiday card! As a pro videographer/photographer, I would be happy to help you capture the perfect shot here.

Gandantegchinlen Monastery
Gandan Monastery is the largest and most important active Buddhist center in Mongolia. During our visit, you will experience firsthand how Mongolian-style Buddhist temples operate, and perhaps even sit in to hear the monks chanting. If you are interested, you can also obtain blessed water and incense to cleanse your aura or your home when you return—just let me know in advance! A major highlight is the magnificent, 26-meter-tall gilded statue of Megjid Janraiseg (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), one of our country's most significant Buddhist structures. While exploring the grounds is free, entry to the main statue temple requires a small ticket fee which is included in the tour fee.

National Museum Of Mongolia
This museum offers a complete overview of Mongolia’s history, from its ancient origins to the modern era, through a fascinating collection of artifacts. It is a concise yet thorough way to understand the nation's past, and even features the traditional costumes and accessories of all 20+ Mongolian ethnic groups. On the side note, if you have extra time in Ulaanbaatar, I highly recommend visiting the Chinggis Khaan Museum as well. It is much larger and more comprehensive, focusing deeply on the Great Khaan and Mongolian nomadic culture — it requires at least 2 to 3 hours to explore it.
60 minutes here · Admission included
Tumen Ekh Ensemble
Experience an enchanting and impressive concert showcasing Mongolia’s rich folklore songs, traditional dances, and the internationally acclaimed arts of throat singing and contortion. This performance offers a brilliant introduction to Mongolian artistic mastery, featuring the powerful melodies of the horsehead fiddle, mesmerizing contortionists’ performance, and unique choreography in their truest forms. The evening also features a TSAM-inspired Buddhist ritual dance, where stories of deities are brought to life through exaggerated traditional costumes and expressive, over-the-top masks—one of Mongolia's most striking performing arts. This ticket is NOT included in our tour fee. Guest is expected to pay for this concert fee on-site (USD12 per person) if they choose to visit there.

Zaisan Hill Monument
Zaisan Hill offers a beautiful panoramic view of Ulaanbaatar, paired with a striking Soviet-style memorial. Erected in 1971, the monument honors the allied Mongolian and Soviet soldiers killed in World War II, standing as a permanent tribute to the historical friendship and military collaboration between the two nations.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ulaanbaatar Private Sightseeing Tour Explore UB Your Way: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does Ulaanbaatar Private Sightseeing Tour Explore UB Your Way cost?
+
Prices start at $139 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 Ulaanbaatar Private Sightseeing Tour Explore UB Your Way take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Ulaanbaatar Private Sightseeing Tour Explore UB Your Way worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Ulaanbaatar Private Sightseeing Tour Explore UB Your Way?
+
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 Ulaanbaatar Private Sightseeing Tour Explore UB Your Way suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ulaanbaatar Private Sightseeing Tour Explore UB Your Way?
+
Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ulaanbaatar Private Sightseeing Tour Explore UB Your Way 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 Genghis Khan Statue+Terelj Park+CamelRide+Eagle, A day trip to Terelj National Park and Statue of Chinggis Khan, BEST 5* Chinggis Khaan Airport UBN Ulaanbaatar Transfer Taxi 24/7. 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.
