点评:I wanted to share a negative experience my boss and his wife had during their trip to Mongolia with the guide Tsatsaa Manlai. They had a confirmed tour to Mongolia for July 2025, booked through TourHQ. We arranged it directly with Ms. Manlai, and our agreement stipulated that the guide would personally pick up the tourists from the airport on July 3rd, lead them on tours through Mongolia from July 4th to 6th, and return them to the airport on July 8th. We paid the official deposit through TourHQ, and everything was confirmed several times with the guide.
The day before our arrival, we contacted Ms. Manlai again to confirm the trip. Ms. Manlai, without consulting us, suddenly changed the plan, stating that she had mixed up the tourists' arrival dates and would send a different driver (without prior approval) to pick them up. This raised serious concerns about the guide's safety and integrity. She also claimed that the advance payment was a tax for TourHQ, and she should receive the full payment in cash. Finally, further confirming our concerns, she requested that we send photos of the tourists' passports via WhatsApp, which seems very unwise.
Fortunately, the TourHQ support team immediately addressed our concern and assigned a new, fantastic guide from Silk Road Mongolia, named "Bat," who led the tour brilliantly and additionally spoke French (the tourists are French). More guides like this are welcome!
We would like to thank the TourHQ support team for their quick response and invaluable assistance, as well as for the brilliant guide we were ultimately assigned. However, we would like to warn against guide Manlai – if you expect professionalism and honesty, do not book a trip with her. This person should not be guiding foreign tourists in Mongolia.
翻译:我想分享一下我老板和老板娘在蒙古与导游Tsatsa Manlai一起旅行时的不愉快经历。他们之前通过TourHQ预订了2025年7月的蒙古之旅。我们直接联系了Manlai女士,协议规定导游将于7月3日亲自到机场接游客,并在7月4日至6日带他们游览蒙古,并于7月8日送他们回机场。我们通过TourHQ支付了正式定金,之后也多次与导游确认了行程安排。
抵达前一天,我们再次联系Manlai女士确认行程。Manlai女士未经我们同意,突然更改了行程,声称她搞错了游客的抵达日期,并会(未经事先批准)安排其他司机来接他们。这引发了人们对导游安全和诚信的严重担忧。她还声称预付款是TourHQ的税款,她应该以现金形式收到全额款项。最后,为了进一步证实我们的担忧,她要求我们通过 WhatsApp 发送游客护照的照片,这似乎非常不明智。
幸运的是,TourHQ 支持团队立即解决了我们的担忧,并指派了一位来自蒙古丝绸之路的优秀导游,名叫“Bat”。她带领我们游览得非常出色,而且还会说法语(游客都是法国人)。我们欢迎更多这样的导游!
我们非常感谢 TourHQ 支持团队的快速响应和宝贵帮助,以及最终指派给我们的这位优秀导游。但是,我们想提醒您不要选择 Manlai 导游——如果您期望导游的专业性和诚实,请不要预订她的行程。此人不适合在蒙古担任外国游客的导游。
